Landlords
At Castle Homes we pride ourselves on offering a professional and efficient service for our landlords. With over 30 years in the lettings business, we understand the needs of our landlords and have a presence on the best property portals to ensure that we find tenants for their properties quickly.
With extensive tenant referencing we ensure only the best tenants for our landlords, and offer a variety of services to meet their landlords' needs, from Introduction Only where we just source a tenant for their property, to our Fully Managed service that will allow you to sit back and relax while we handle any issues that may arise at the property throughout the course of the letting.
We have a dedicated team to keep you up to date with the whole rental process and to answer any enquiries you may have. Our business is built on customer satisfaction and we will handle the rental of your property as if it was one of our own.
To find out more please contact us today, or why not request a free, no obligation, valuation of your property.
All prices are including VAT.
