Landlords

Let your property with clarity

Compare the support available to Slough landlords, follow the letting journey and see which responsibilities stay with you.

For private residential letting in England. Exact scope, responsibilities and charges are agreed in writing before instruction.

3:2 landscape, about 1536×1024. A person seen from behind reviewing property details on a tablet in a bright furnished living room, natural daylight, editorial and calm. No identifiable face, no text, no logos, no branding. Keep the visual weight around 60% across and 45% down so the crop survives narrow frames.

Choosing a service

Choose the support you need

Four routes, shown by how involved you want to remain.

Preparing and letting

Let Only

For landlords looking for support with preparation, marketing and tenancy setup, then taking it forward themselves. Day-to-day tenant contact, rent administration and repairs remain with you unless agreed otherwise in writing.

Rent and statements

Rent Collection

For landlords looking for recurring rent administration and statements. Repairs, inspections and compliance documents remain your responsibility unless the written terms say otherwise.

Tenant and property coordination

Fully Managed

For landlords considering ongoing tenant and property coordination through one day-to-day contact route. Your legal duties remain yours; the written terms define exactly which tasks Dukes carries out.

A separate written arrangement

Guaranteed Rent

A separate, property-specific arrangement with its own written agreement. Eligibility, payment conditions, responsibilities and ending arrangements are defined there.

Read the Guaranteed Rent explanation

The exact scope, responsibilities and charges are confirmed in Dukes' written terms before instruction.

The letting journey

Six stages, in the order they normally happen. Who carries out each one depends on the service you instruct and is set out in writing.

  1. Stage 1 of 6

    Rental estimate and preparation

    Working out an indicative rent, and what the property needs before it is marketed.

    Confirm in writing: Who arranges and pays for any preparation work, and what condition the property is marketed in.

  2. Stage 2 of 6

    Marketing and enquiries

    Advertising the property, handling enquiries and keeping a record of interest.

    Confirm in writing: Which advertising channels are used, who produces the listing content, and who responds to enquiries.

  3. Stage 3 of 6

    Viewings and applicant checks

    Arranging viewings and carrying out the checks a landlord relies on before accepting an applicant.

    Confirm in writing: Who attends viewings, which checks are carried out, and who makes the final decision on an applicant.

  4. Stage 4 of 6

    Tenancy setup and deposit administration

    Preparing the tenancy agreement, taking the deposit and protecting it in an approved scheme.

    Confirm in writing: Who prepares the agreement, which deposit scheme is used, and who serves the prescribed information.

  5. Stage 5 of 6

    Rent collection and statements

    Collecting the rent, passing it on and providing a statement you can keep.

    Confirm in writing: When rent is passed on, how statements are issued, and what happens if a payment is late or missed.

  6. Stage 6 of 6

    Tenancy changes and endings

    Changes during the tenancy, notice, check-out and the return of the deposit.

    Confirm in writing: Who handles a change of tenant, who deals with notice, and how a deposit dispute is handled.

What stays with you

What remains your responsibility

These duties stay with the property owner in England. An agent may help you meet them; it cannot take them away.

Gas and electrical safety
Gas and electrical installations and equipment must be safely installed and maintained, and the required safety records kept.
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
Alarms must be fitted and tested in line with the regulations that apply to the property.
A safe home
The property must be kept safe and free from health hazards. A council can inspect and serve an enforcement notice, and that notice must be acted on.
Energy performance certificate
A valid EPC must be provided for the property.
Deposit protection
A tenant's deposit must be protected in a government-approved scheme, and the prescribed information given to the tenant.
Right to Rent
Everyone aged 18 or over living at the property must be checked before the tenancy begins. The legal responsibility sits with the landlord, and an instructed agent may carry the check out on the landlord's behalf.
Tax and permissions
Income tax is payable on rental income after allowable expenses, and a mortgage lender's permission is needed before letting.
