Professional Services
It is a legal requirement that where appropriate all rental properties have an up to date Gas Safety Certificate, Energy Performance Certificate and Legionella Risk Assessment.
In partnership with Lincs Gas Safety and our in-house Domestic Energy Assessors; our experienced team can arrange all these safety checks for you. This ensures your tenant remains safe and you as a Landlord remain compliant. As we are regulated by the Royal Institute for Chartered Surveyors and the Association of Residential Letting Agents we are always up to date with the ever changing lettings legislation.
Online Fault Reporting
Our Landlords have the peace of mind that they won't be charged for unnecessary repairs reported by tenants. We use an intuitive picture based fault reporting system which allows tenants to report faults 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from their phone, tablet or computer. No more phone calls about blown light bulbs or mildew in the showers. With guided advice, tenants are made aware of their responsibilities and given all the information necessary to solve those frequent 'easy-to-fix' problems that they might come across.
If a repair is required, our contractors can prepare for the specific issue at hand using a detailed repair report which includes photographs. This can help the issue to be resolved in the first contractor visit..

Landlord's Guide
Obtaining a rental valuation
Pygott and Crone are ideally placed to provide you with a rental valuation, our experienced team have excellent knowledge of the local market. Our aim is to achieve the highest possible rental return for you, combined with good tenants.
Obtaining a rental valuation
When valuing your property our experts will take into account the appropriate rent to achieve, the type of tenant the property will attract, the condition of the property along with its proximity to local amenities. Our teams have experience in letting all types of property throughout Lincolnshire. Pygott and Crone are members of ARLA and therefore can offer landlords and tenants security.
Deciding on the level of service you require
Most of our clients let their property for an initial 6 month period under a fully managed agreement, this in our opinion works best. The 6 month agreement gives you as the landlord a good level of flexibility, it also appears to be the preferred method for tenants. Having the property independently managed by an ARLA qualified agent gives the tenant more confidence especially relating to any maintenance that may need addressing.
Deciding on the level of service you require
We do offer a let only service if you are more experienced and feel that you wish to deal with the ongoing management yourself.
Market your property
Pygott and Crone will commence the marketing of your property immediately once your instructions are confirmed, we will prepare your property details and the Energy Performance Certificate. The property is matched to potential tenants, emailed out to our registered data base, uploaded to the main property portals and our own website as well as being advertised in the local property papers, this will ensure maximum exposure for your property. In addition we will organise a certified gas safety certificate, electrical certificate, legionella’s report and any other regulatory requirements you require.
Viewings
If you are letting your property for the first time presentation is very important, the property should be decorated to appeal to all tenants and therefore we recommend neutral colours, the property should be in good order throughout and any maintenance issues taken care of. If you are relenting the property the same applies again.
Viewings
Gardens should be well maintained, it is often an advantage if they are easy for a tenant to maintain during a tenancy period. We will accompany all viewings unless you wish to carry them out yourself, it is often advantageous for us to meet the potential tenant at the property and discuss and promote the property.
Agreeing the let of your property
As soon as an offer is received we will contact you to discuss the details and any specific requirements of the prospective tenant, once you are happy to proceed we will begin obtaining all the relevant information and carry out the required checks.
References and credit checks
Our lettings team will apply for the relevant references for the proposed tenant along with a credit check. It is important that we protect our landlord’s interest and ensure the tenant as the ability to afford the rental payments as well as maintain the property to the required standards. In the event that a guarantor is required then we will organise the relevant documentation. Pygott and Crone will keep all parties advised through the process.
The inventory
Before the tenant moves into the property it is vital that a comprehensive photographic inventory is produced, the photographs and detailed report will provide a condition report at the time the tenant moves in which will be used on periodic inspections and once the tenancy ends. This is probably the most important document to protect the Landlord and Tenant and will minimise the risk of any dispute at the end of the tenancy.
The deposit
Once the deposit has been paid in full the tenant has secured the property, the deposit is registered with the tenant deposit protection scheme, it became law in 2007 that all deposits are held in such a scheme and protected. The scheme ensures that if there is a dispute between the landlord and tenant at the end of the tenancy then it will be resolved by the resolution service.
Moving in
Once all parties are happy and the tenancy agreements have been signed we will organise to move your tenant into the property, whilst meeting them at the property we will again run through the inventory and advise the tenant of how the ongoing process works with us as the managing agent.
Periodic inspections
Pygott and Crone’s management team will organise to visit the property on agreed dates to check the property against the inventory, these visit are designed to ensure the property is being maintained to the required standard and kept in good order. Our landlords and tenants will be advised of any findings requiring further action.
