Lettings
Meeting Clients' Needs
As well as having years of rental property marketing and management experience, all directors of Luke Harris residential are landlords themselves.
This, understandably, gives us the ability to relate personally to clients’ needs, aspirations and occasional concerns.
We channel our extensive knowledge and experience into ensuring each property is appraised accurately and marketed effectively to attract the right tenant at the best price within your timescale.
Owning rental property can be a powerful investment – one which, with our guidance and support, can give you a substantial return, in terms of income, capital growth and lasting security.
We are members of a redress scheme provided by PRS (Property Redress Scheme) and the TPO (The Property Ombudsman)
Total client money protection is provided by UKALA in conjunction with Let Alliance.
At Luke Harris Residential, we believe in transparency and simplicity, with no hidden fees or unnecessary add-ons.
We offer our Fully Managed Service, ideal for landlords who are new to letting, allowing you peace of mind and knowing that your property is kept fully compliant with the ever change regulations. Additionally, we offer a Tenant Find for the professional landlord.

Luke Harris Residential, unlike many other rental agents, does not charge any up-front fees for the service it provides. We work on the same principles as our estate agency, which operates a ‘no sale – no fee’ policy. On those very rare occasions when we don’t let the property, the landlord doesn’t pay a penny.
Our fees are competitive, value-for-money, geared to the different levels of management and deducted on receipt of rent. This schedule provides details of the costs involved.
