What we do
Two jobs, done properly.
Finding people a home they will stay in, and looking after that home once they are in it. Everything else we have been asked to add over the years, we have said no to.
01
Letting your property
Photography, floorplan and EPC arranged within 48 hours of instruction. Accompanied viewings, referencing through Goodlord, and a tenancy agreement drawn against the current Renters' Rights framework rather than a template from 2019.
02
Managing it afterwards
One named property manager, a maintenance budget you set, and contractors we have used for years rather than whoever answers first. Inspections at six months with photographs, then annually.
03
Keeping you legal
Gas safety, EICR, EPC, smoke and CO alarms, deposit protection, Right to Rent. We track the renewal dates and book the work — you get told it is done, not asked to remember it.

For landlords
The boring part is the whole job.
Rent arriving on time, certificates in date, a tenant who wants to renew. None of that is exciting and all of it is what you are actually paying for. We hold roughly £3.1m of rent through client account each year and it is reconciled daily.
- Fully managed at 12% + VAT
- Rent paid to you within 3 working days
- No renewal or tenancy set-up fees
- No mark-up on contractor invoices
- Rent and legal protection available
- Leave with 30 days' notice, no exit fee
For tenants
You are not an inconvenience.
Renting through most agents means paying a lot to be treated as a risk. We charge you nothing beyond what the Tenant Fees Act permits, we tell you what a property actually costs to heat, and repairs get logged and chased whether or not you follow up.
- No admin, referencing or renewal fees — ever
- Deposit capped at five weeks' rent and protected with the TDS
- Out-of-hours number for anything that cannot wait until Monday
- Real running costs shared before you commit, not after
What people say
Landlords and tenants, both.
The boiler went on a Sunday in February. I called the out-of-hours number expecting a voicemail and got a person, and an engineer came at eight the next morning. That is the whole review, really.
I live in Singapore and own two houses in Hale. Hallwood send a proper inspection report with photographs every six months and they do not ring me about £80 decisions. I have not had a void since 2023.
They talked me out of the higher rent another agent had quoted and explained exactly why. Let in nine days at their figure to a tenant who is still there. I would rather be told the truth.
Where we work
A patch we can actually drive across.
We turned down two lettings in Stockport last month because we could not get to them inside an hour. That limit is deliberate — it is what makes same-day repairs possible.

Thinking of letting?
We will come out, look properly, and give you a written rental assessment with the comparable evidence behind it. If the number is lower than you hoped, we will tell you why rather than win the instruction and drop the price in six weeks.
