What our clients
say about us

I have been given a Council Flat as I need to downsize but I would like to thank you both for letting the property to me for over 26 years.

Sandra G.

We have been tenants of High Garrett Properties for 13 years and they have always accommodated our needs. Very approachable and any reported issues have a response by an engineer with 48 Hours of the report being made. Such a refreshing company to deal with being the property owners and no third parties to deal with.

Do I need insurance?

A tenant is responsible for insuring the full value of their personal contents and we also strongly advise that cover for any accidental damage to the landlord’s belongings (for example, carpets) is taken at the same time. An iron burn mark or drink stain to a carpet can be a costly repair, or in some cases, replacement. Insurance will cover these accidents for you Click here for more information. The Landlords insurance does not cover any items of the Tenants.

How do I pay my rent?

All rent should be paid monthly in advance, through your bank by standing order, using the reference provided to you. Your First month’s rent must be cleared in our account before you can move into the property otherwise this can cause delays.

How do I report maintenance issues or request a repair?

Some of the properties advertised by us are managed by us on a landlord’s behalf and some are managed by the landlord directly. We will provide you with this information should you wish to continue. For properties we manage you would report any maintenance issues to us directly. For the properties we don’t manage you would contact your landlord directly.

Can I keep a pet in the property?

This is one of our frequently asked questions. This would have to be agreed prior to moving into the property. A pet rent on top of your monthly rent, in lieu of a larger deposit under the Tenant Fee Ban. Please mention your pet on your initial contact with us and on your application form.

Can I Redecorate or make changes to the property?

A tenant can only decorate or make any changes if the landlord has given permission in writing, the tenant would need to write or email High Garrett Properties Ltd detailing this and whether they would leave the changes upon vacation or put it back to before they moved in. We do advise repainting the property if you have been in the property at least 1 year.

When might I need a Guarantor?

If your financial reference is weak for any reason, we could ask for a guarantor top support your tenancy. This is a serious commitment, as the guarantor will be as responsible as the tenant for all monies due and obligations agreed for the tenancy. A guarantor will need to have strong financial references to show that they will not suffer hardship should they be called upton to pay on your behalf.
