Number 1 Letting provide an excellent professional service which you can rely on. I started with 1 property as a novice 5 years ago but because Number 1 Letting made that first experience such an easy one I soon moved up to 4 rentals.
Number 1 Letting have always swiftly and importantly found the right tenants and got me a good return on my investments.
Their attention to detail to find the right tenants and the effort they go to with their inventories has given me as a landlord peace of mind which you need in this business.
The staff know their stuff and are always happy to advise and help.
Comment on agent fees
The fees are very reasonable but the peace of mind Number 1 gives you because of the standards they set is worth every penny

We ultimately work for the landlord but we try very hard to look after all our tenants as well. In relation to the washing machine, that was available for your use and as stated in the contract you are responsible for the repairs on this or alternatively it can be disposed of by yourselves (which is usually at zero cost as scrap dealers are happy to collect for free).
