Letting Services
Your Letting Agent for Park Street and St Albans
I’m Neil Hughes, your local Park Street letting agent, and I’ve been helping landlords and tenants across Park Street, St Albans, Chiswell Green, Bricket Wood and London Colney for more than three decades. My approach is simple: clear communication, strong marketing, and a genuinely personal service from start to finish.
Whether you’re letting a single property or managing a small portfolio, I look after everything personally, no call centres, no passing you around, just one point of contact who knows your property and your area inside out.
Effective Marketing for Your Property
When you instruct me to let your home, I make sure it’s presented at its absolute best. Every property receives:
• Professional photography
• Detailed floorplans
• Full video tour
Your property is promoted across Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, and my own website, ensuring maximum exposure. I also have an active database of more than 10,000 registered tenants, giving your property a strong head start before it even hits the portals.
Accompanied Viewings
All viewings are personally accompanied by me.
This gives landlords peace of mind, ensures tenants receive accurate information, and allows me to properly qualify interest and gather honest feedback.
Selecting the Ideal Tenant
Once a suitable tenant is found, I handle the full tenancy setup, including:
• Negotiating terms
• Comprehensive referencing (credit checks, employment references, right‑to‑rent)
• Securing the five‑week deposit
• Preparing all tenancy agreements and legal documentation
Everything is completed in line with current legislation, giving both landlord and tenant complete confidence.
Administration & Ongoing Management
If you choose my fully managed service, I take care of all day‑to‑day responsibilities, including:
• Notifying utility companies and recording meter readings
• Monthly rent collection and arrears management
• Property inspections every four months with detailed reports
• Coordinating maintenance, quotes and repairs using trusted contractors
• Deducting approved maintenance costs directly from rental income
Deposits are protected through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme, and all compliance documents are issued correctly and on time.
End of Tenancy & Renewals
When a tenancy comes to an end, I manage:
• Renewal negotiations
• Deposit handling and compliance
• Smooth move‑outs and move‑ins
• Advice on market conditions and rental value adjustments
My aim is always to keep good tenants in good homes,and keep your property performing well.
Maintenance & Repairs
Tenants report issues directly to me, and I organise:
• Approved contractors
• Quotes
• Repairs
• Follow‑up checks
All costs are agreed with you first and deducted from monthly rent, keeping everything transparent and straightforward.
Keeping You Informed
Legislation changes constantly, and I keep landlords updated with anything that affects your property, your responsibilities, or your tenants. You’ll always know where you stand — without having to chase or research anything yourself.
