Residential Sales and Lettings

HNF Property operate an internet letting and management service taking advantage of all modern technology. Properties are marketed on some of the most popular property portals, viewings can be accompanied and referencing can be completed electronically in as little as 24 hours.

We can offer landlords rent insurance and arrange for inventories/schedule of condition and check in/check out. Our letting fees at 5% (when properties are in management) of the annual rent are some of the competitive in the business, however as an introductory offer this is reduced to a fee of £500 plus vat until 1st July 2016.

Under management we do not charge renewal fees, charging only for the administration involved.

Properties will be regularly inspected, all tenants issues will be dealt with, landlords will immediately be notified of arrears or non payment and we guarantee a speedy transfer of landlord monies.

We will deal with the day to day issues of repair and maintenance and offer free to landlords the advice of professionally qualified surveyors to answer any property questions you may have whether or not they are related to properties under management. Established for over 20 years and regulated by the RICS we are a safe and trustworthy pair of hands.

Excellent service from Kathy of HNF, speedy and efficient.

Chloe Pickard

Patient and helpful

This was my first time taking out a lease on a commercial property, and any lease at all so I was a complete beginner and lacked knowledge on most of the process. The guys in HNF (I spoke with Jay mostly) were really patient and helpful at guiding me through and we have now successfully completed the lease 🙂

Liz Barton

Very efficient and kept us fully informed

We used HNF to manage the sale of a commercial/residential property. They were very efficient and kept us fully informed.

Bernard O'leary

In-depth and very informative

Thank you both, Peter Thornley and John Naylor for your time discussing our domestic Freehold issues. The meeting was in-depth, very informative and of great benefit to us. Should we have any problems in future, we shall certainly call on your services again. Much appreciated.

Peter Stephenson

The improvements have been remarkable

I have been a resident here for 20 years and the maintenance previous to the involvement of HNF was sporadic to put it mildly. Since Theresa Hustwitt has been in charge the improvements have been remarkable, and the service attentive.

Tim Wisniewski

A great experience

I had a great experience renting my flat via HNF. They were very professional, and Jay went above and beyond to help me get all sorted by my move-in date (he had me in within 2 days from seeing the flat!).

Reliable service

As we live overseas, we feel fortunate in having HNF to look after things in our absence.

Speedy Letting

HNF Property let our flat within 2 days of marketing, we were delighted.

Value for money

I was pleased to find a letting agent that offered genuine value for money with realistic fees.
