This option is ideal for landlords who prefer not to deal with day-to-day management, or those living outside Cambridge or overseas. With our experience and reputation, you can be assured your property is in safe hands.
Let Only
Our Let Only service is designed for landlords who wish to manage their property themselves but want expert support in finding and securing the right tenant.
Cambridge Property Lettings will:
- Advertise your property on leading platforms.
- Arrange and conduct viewings.
- Carry out thorough reference checks.
- Prepare tenancy agreements.
