Our Letting Services

To complement our highly successful sales operation, we now also provide a letting and management service which is going from strength to strength!

It is based on the same ethos of providing each and every client with sound advice, proactive marketing and a very personal service. Letting valuations are undertaken free of charge and without obligation. The department is headed by Lee Johnston and ably assisted by the Holden & Prescott team. The two types of letting service are outlined below.

Holden & Prescott are members of the National Approved Letting Scheme
