Frequently Asked Questions

We will ask for your address history for the last three years and complete a credit check on each individual tenant. We will also require a reference from your existing Landlord or Letting Agent (if you are currently renting) as well as a written reference from your employer. If you are self-employed, we will ask for an accountant’s reference and most recent set of submitted accounts.

The lease you sign will be an Assured Shorthold, which means that you can stay in the property for the period of the lease (provided you meet all the obligations of the lease). If the landlord wishes to end the tenancy you will be given two months’ notice to quit the premises.

We have an obligation to conduct regular inspections of all tenanted accommodation. This is to ensure the property is not in need of repair, that you are looking after the property and discuss any problems you may be experiencing. You will be given notification when an inspection is due to be conducted.

In the event of maintenance being required please telephone us at the earliest possible time in order to minimise any problem that could subsequently arise. Trades persons will be alerted by the Agent and dependent upon the nature and urgency of the task will respond accordingly. Simple precautionary procedures should then be taken by the tenant to prevent any additional problem arising e.g. turn off water at the stopcock if necessary, isolate electric or gas supplies at the mains where required.

You cannot have any pets unless we have permission from the landlord/ourselves in writing. You must consult us prior to obtaining a pet and submit a written request to have a pet stating age/type/breed.

YES! You should consider taking out contents insurance to cover accidental damage to the Landlord’s contents, buildings, fixtures and fittings. The landlord is responsible for insuring the building.

The Deposit normally equates to 5 weeks rent and will be held throughout the tenancy in a government approved deposit scheme and will be returned at the end of the tenancy subject to the property being left in a good condition without any claim for potential damages beyond fair wear and tear.

As a tenant you are responsible for ensuring the rent is paid in full and on time. We have facilities to enable you to establish a standing order which will mean payments are paid directly from your bank to our designated account. You will need to cancel the standing order before leaving the property.

Utility bills, including Council Tax is your responsibility unless stated otherwise in the tenancy agreement. You will need to choose your supplier upon moving in and ensure accounts are closed when you vacate.

Once the Landlord has agreed to accept your application (subject to references and contract) we will ask for a holding deposit equating to one week’s rent. Upon successfully passing the referencing stage of the application, the holding deposit paid will count towards the total balance of rent and deposit owed before the tenancy start date. You risk losing your deposit in the event you provide inaccurate or misleading information on your application, fail a right to rent check, do not all reasonable steps to enter into a tenancy agreement or unilaterally withdraw your application.

What Our Clients Say

Landlord

"Kul has been amazing with our property. He helped us from the beginning with getting the property ready to high standards and finding the right tenant. He is very much hands on and takes care of the property. He is very responsive to calls and emails and maintains a high professional standards. I would thoroughly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a good property management company on the island."

Dr Kumar

Landlord

"Kul is a one-off. We came across him when he helped us after our self-managed apartment was severely damaged by a long-term leak. His advice at that time was free but we saved a great deal of money by targeting the extensive repairs using his suggestions. When the tenant departed a few months later, it was the obvious course of action to switch to his management services. After being massively let down by bigger agents who just tried to make money out of us throughout for an extremely poor service, Kul has been the opposite. He is unbelievably thorough and hard-working, and he found suitable new tenants in a matter of days, compared to previous agents taking 3 months. Apart from ongoing cladding issues at The Wharf, we can finally start to relax."

Mr & Mrs Watson

Tenant

"Mr. Kul Dhesi has been outstanding since the very first day we got in contact. He made the whole rental process easy and straightforward, and he sorted any problem we had with the house (e.g., boiler etc) excellently. He is very professional and friendly. I am very grateful for the great work he did during my stay in St Mary's Island and for making me feel safe, welcomed and comfortable there."

Anna Ferrusola Pastrana

Tenant

"I would highly recommend Maritime Property Services. I have found their services to be very efficient, quick and thoroughly professional. I have used their services in 2018 for a rental property and found the process to be very quick and efficient and absolutely stress free. I look forward to using their service again in future."

Dr Farah Riaz

Tenant

"Your friendly approach, dedication and professionalism made our move into the area as smooth as possible. You are always on hand should we have any issues or concerns, nothing is ever too much of a problem or effort to sort. Thank you for treating us as a friend and not just a tenant. I highly recommend Maritime Property Services."

Mr & Mrs Gunnell

Tenant

"Dealing with Kul is the best experience I have had as a tenant. Honesty and professionalism from the start. Kul was more interested in giving us a home rather than just renting out a house. He worked tirelessly to ensure our comfort even after we have moved in. His service is exceptional and he is committed to his tenants. I consider Kul not only as an agent but a friend."

Shaku Turay

Tenant

"I am writing to you today to thank you for all the help during my stay in the property managed by you. You have been amazing and always available whenever I needed help in regards to any issues with the property. You made my stay in the property so enjoyable. You have always been there to help no matter what time I rang you. Apart from that the whole process of selecting property for renting to moving in and then moving out , whole procedure has been so smooth and enjoyable. You also helped me in hanging curtains and fixing locks without charging me anything which shows how helpful and professional you are. I can not thank you enough for the lovely experience that I had. I highly recommend people to trust you with their properties and they will not be disappointed."

Dr. Amna Khushnud

Landlord

"I felt compelled to forward onto you my gratitude for the excellent service I have received over the past two years, you may remember, that the property I own was being managed by a well established letting agent, of which the service I received, was none existence, as a consequence I incurred cost running into, thousands of pounds, I had the good fortune to engage, Maritime Property Services to take on the refurbishing, and letting of the property, what I received is a complete professional management service, that I am extremely grateful to be receiving, My sincere thanks."

John Arnold

Tenant

"Not only your agent, Kul will become your friend!" Since the first few interactions with Kul back in February of 2019, it has become clear that he is much better than most agents and property owners out there. His charismatic personality and friendly approach to dealing with customers are like a constant reminder that his number one priority is serving rather than selling-something that many agents seem to forget! Indeed, whenever I needed it, Kul was available to arrange house repairs or to provide advice of all sorts. With time, Kul has become a friend and we are still in contact, even though we do not rent one of his properties anymore. If you are looking for someone that you can trust, look no further, you will not be disappointed with Kul!. Arthur Henrique Bossi"
