Market Appraisal
Our market appraisal service is complimentary and there is no obligation to use our
service.
Our experienced staff will be able to provide you with accurate rental appraisals and
give you up-to-date advice on local rental market conditions.
We can also advise you on any enhancements which may increase the value and appeal of
your property to the rental market.
Marketing
When you instruct jdm Lettings to market your property we will take all reasonable steps to expose your property to the widest possible market; locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. We will highlight all of its key features to ensure we attract the right tenant for your property at the best possible price.
Professional Property Photography & Floorplans
One of the key areas to marketing your property is how it is presented to prospective tenants. For this reason, jdm invests in bespoke professional property photographers to take, edit and produce outstanding property photographs and also professional floorplans. This helps attract the optimum amount of interest in your property and help find you the best possible tenant for your property at the best possible price in a timescale to suit your needs.
Property Brochures
We will prepare property details and brochures about your property that are available in our offices, our window displays and available online. The brochures include multiple colour photographs, floorplans and an EPC Certificate.
Extensive Database
Over our years in business, we have developed and maintained a thorough database of active tenants who are looking for properties to rent. Our staff have excellent knowledge of the key features of each individual property and are trained in the very latest telesales techniques in order market the property to as many interested suitable tenants as possible. All properties available to rent are sent electronically to all registered applicants and followed up with a view of arranging viewings.
Rightmove & Zoopla
We list your property on the UK’s two largest property portals: Rightmove and Zoopla. We also invest in both Premium Property listings and Featured Property listings on these portals. These marketing enhancements help highlight and draw attention to your property, by posting properties at the top of the page and also highlight the adverts and include additional photographs.
The Guild
We are proud to have been selected as a member of The Guild of Property Professionals which is an exclusive membership per postcode with a network of branches across the UK, including a referral network, meaning properties can be marketed locally, regionally and nationally via The Guild. Service standards and training are provided, along with Monthly Life magazines, electronic magazines and properties advertised in the exclusive Park Lane office.
Award Winning Service
We provide a professional and unparalleled level of service which is independently recognised. jdm over the years have won countless awards, including International Property Awards who awarded us the accolade of Best Estate Agency in Kent as well as by Rightmove and the Property Academy who nominated us being in the Top 5% of Estate Agents in the UK for Marketing, Communication, Service and Results. This is independent reassurance of the quality of the advice and service we provide.
Accompanied Viewings
A member of our team will accompany every viewing that takes place with pre-qualified applicants. They will show potential tenants around the property highlighting key features and the benefits of each property.
We will follow up all viewings, obtaining, where possible, the feedback from the viewers and also provide feedback after each viewing to the landlords, along with regular marketing updates.
Negotiation
Once a suitable tenant has been found, we will manage the tenancy negotiations according to your requirements on your behalf. Our aim is to secure a tenant that meets with your needs and timescales.
Referencing
We manage tenant referencing and this process usually takes approximately 48 hours. At jdm Lettings we use an independent referencing agency who undertakes credit searches, Employer and previous Landlord references, where applicable.
Landlords are involved in the selection process of tenants and we will only proceed with a tenancy once you have sight of the completed references and you confirm you are happy to proceed.
Pre-Tenancy
Tenancy Agreement
We use Assured Shorthold Tenancy agreements, which are drafted by approved lawyers and these will usually include an initial term ranging from 6 to 36 months, subject to individual requirements. We also provide a termination facility in favour of one or both parties and other standard permissions. Specific and individual clauses will be added where required.
We ensure that properties let through us are compliant with relevant legislation. Before a tenancy commences, we will ensure landlords have the required compliance aspects, to include:
• Energy Performance Certificate
• Electrical Inspection Condition Report
• Gas Safety Certificate legislation
• Legionella Assessment legislation
• Smoke and Carbon Monoxide regulations
• Soft furnishing safety requirements
Security Deposit
All deposits are registered with a government approved tenancy deposit scheme. We use services provided by the TDS and DPS (add their logos). This protects the deposit on behalf of both the landlord and tenant and provides an independent means of settling any disputes regarding any deposit retention.
Insurance
As long as your prospective tenant meets certain referencing criteria, we can provide you with Rent Protection Insurance & Legal Expense Cover. In the event that your tenant stops paying rent, the insurance policy will pay rental arrears and cover any legal expenses involved in the eviction process.
Inventory
We strongly recommend that our clients obtain an inventory at the beginning of any tenancy. Our Inventory Clerks are independent and provide an unbiased assessment of the condition of the property.
The inventory enables you to establish if any deductions from the security deposit are required at the end of the tenancy.
Rent Collection & Property Management
Rent Collection
Our rent collection service removes the stress of dealing with any non-payment of rent by your tenants.
Property Management
Our property management service takes the stress and strain out of managing your property. jdm employs dedicated Property Managers who are all based locally in either our Greenwich or Locksbottom property management departments. Your Property Manager will liaise with you, your tenant and any third-party contractors and deal with any management and maintenance issues.
With both our Rent Collection and Property Management services, you can spread the cost of the service monthly, instead of upfront as per our Let Only service.
Tenancy Renewals
Two/three months before a tenancy is due to expire, we will contact both landlord and tenant to establish the long-term intentions.
Once established we will manage either a renewal of tenancy, switch to a periodic tenancy or the termination process in accordance with the terms of the tenancy agreement.
End Of Tenancy
Should you or your tenants wish to end the tenancy, we will also deal with:
• Tenancy Administration
• Serving required Notices*
• Arranging Check-out
• Re-marketing of the property to let
• Assist with the sale of a property
* Please note specific services above are only available under Rent Collection or Fully Managed services, see Landlord Fees for a guide on services.
Don’t just take our word for it ...
We just purchased a house through JDM. The team and particularly Kristina were incredibly helpful, going out of their way to make sure we had the information and access to the property we needed. Would not hesitate to purchase or sell through JDM in the future.
Matt Partridge
JDM did an excellent job of selling a flat for us so very quickly. John there did a very thorough job of keeping me fully updated on how the sale was going from the start of marketing the property through to putting the property under offer then to exchange and completion. They are all so very helpful there.
Peter Fullick
We recently purchased a house listed by JDM and they were great from start to finish. Jake and Galena were incredibly helpful, answering any queries promptly and clearly explaining each step of the process
Alastair Gibb
I'm very happy with the level service jdm Eltham provided. My property was relatively small compared to some of the others they have on the market but I didn't feel like I was getting any less from the team because of that. They were super friendly and attentive and I felt supported throughout the sale. Reyhan in particular was a great help in the final weeks at getting it over the line. I would definitely recommend!
Robyn Crowther
JDM gave us excellent service when selling our house. Jeremy came out to do a valuation and would always keep in touch to catch up and keep us informed about everything. All the staff were helpful, very knowledgeable and whoever we spoke to on the phone would deal with our query promptly and professionally. Always returning our call when necessary. Feedback on viewers comments were emailed to us regularly to keep us up to date on how the sale was progressing. A family member recommended JDM to us and I would certainly recommend them to anyone . Brilliant service and thanks to you all.
Lynne Smith
We had excellent service from valuation right through to exchange. Jeremy and the team worked really hard to find the right buyer for our property and keep us informed during the process, at times going above and beyond in order to accommodate all parties and keep everyone informed.
Wendy Tennant
From the very start, Teresa was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole process clear and straightforward. Trish went the extra mile to make sure everything ran smoothly and was always on hand with support and guidance. Both were professional, approachable, and a real credit to JDM. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell.
Steve Rhodes
Every person I’ve dealt with at JDM has been professional, caring and helpful throughout the sale of my property and purchase of a new one. A six house chain had its problems but were managed incredibly well by all at JDM with no fuss, taking the stress away. It’s clear that the staff are knowledgable with many years experience and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Well done everyone and thank you!
Kay Byrne
JDM were acting as my seller's agency in my recent flat purchase.We had quite a long chain and when the road to exchange got a bit torturous I felt that Sarah and Lizzie at JDM pulled out all the stops to get things over the line.
Wolf Koelling
JDM Bromley helped us with our house purchase. They were brilliant and helped make the purchase as smooth as possible. Thank you to Sarah who led this and was very friendly and efficient throughout the process!
Olivia
Fresh on the high of completing the sale of our property, I must share the excellent experience we had of selling with JDM. Elaine, Gemma and Stuart were instrumental in keeping the momentum in our sale and really pushing matters forward to get to completion in a short timescale. They were attentive, communicative and just all around great. Can't recommend highly enough!
Nida Khan
After a year of stress trying to sell my house with another agent, switching to this team was the best decision I could have made. Gemma, Elaine, and Stuart were absolutely fantastic - professional, friendly, and incredibly efficient. They handled every detail with care and precision, keeping me informed and confident throughout the entire process.
