Fully Managed Service
Our fully managed service allows you, the landlord, to feel confident that the process of letting your property will be handled efficiently and smoothly. We are dedicated to giving our landlords the best possible service and will give your property the same care and attention as we would our own. We know that each landlord has unique requirements, preferences and needs, and we are committed to meeting these by providing expert advice.

* As per current legislation, deposits related to properties managed by Leamans are protected by The Dispute Service, through which we hold funds in a dedicated Client Account. This is returned to the tenant after the end of the tenancy, once the property has been checked. If there is any dispute regarding the state of the property and an agreement cannot be reached, the matter is referred to the deposit scheme for full and impartial arbitration. Leamans will supply all necessary documentation to the deposit scheme.
