For our landlords
We take care of all your rental property issues, so you don’t have to – including sales if you decide to leave the market.

FULLY INDEPENDENT

Experts
We draw on our expertise to offer honest, realistic advice to find the right tenant for your property – rather than simply opting for the first person to come along.
Transparent
Everything is set out clearly from day one, from both a landlord’s and tenant’s perspective. This ensures no nasty surprises!
Property Letting Valuation
Our market knowledge is second to none and we will advise you honestly about property values and what you can expect as your return.
We deliver a realistic valuation and never overvalue, purely to secure your business.
Our advice will include information regarding relevant legislation to protect tenants – and, importantly, YOU our client. We will also advise if any works are required, prior to marketing.

Tenant Referencing
We ensure that all potential tenants are fully vetted and that their references check out.
Our team also complies with all legislation and ensures that properties, landlords and tenants have the benefit of:
- Right to Rent checks
- Gas and Electrical Safety certification
- The national Tenancy Deposit Scheme. Since implementation in 2007, we have mediated less than one dispute per year.
As always, communication is clear – keeping everyone updated and in the picture.

“I had no doubt that I was in good hands with the team at Town and Country, but to drive past my flat and see that the new tenants had been growing veg, potted up plants as well as tending to the existing garden was lovely to see. They clearly like living there as much as I did.”
“Town and country have been amazing since the very first time we called about our property that we spent just over 2 years in!
They have been kind, supportive and all our needs were met! They honestly were so easy to work with and everything ran smoothly!! I haven’t worked with many but they are by far the best agency we could have asked for and we are truly grateful for the time in the property and the support we got! From start to finish you guys were fantastic!!!! THANK YOU!!!”
“Appointing Town and Country Property Services Hove as my letting agents was absolutely the right decision. For many years now, they have provided a totally professional, courteous and friendly service. Each member of staff has gone the extra mile, using their expert knowledge to deal with every aspect requiring attention, smoothly and efficiently, both from the landlord’s and tenant’s perspective.
I recommend Steve and his team highly.”
