What is an agent of necessity?
An Agent of Necessity acts on your behalf during a serious emergency or life‑threatening situation when you are unavailable to provide instructions.
Unfortunately, emergencies such as fires, floods, and burglaries do occur. In such cases, we step in immediately to manage the situation as effectively as possible in your absence. On rare occasions, this has included arranging hotel accommodation for tenants when a property has become temporarily uninhabitable.
This service is available exclusively to clients for whom we provide full property management. If you would like us to manage your property and act as your Agent of Necessity should the need arise, please contact our team.
Secure, Compliant Lettings With Landlord Peace of Mind
Our lettings service places compliance, security, and professionalism at the forefront:
- Full tenant referencing is carried out for every tenancy to ensure suitability and protect your investment.
- All deposits are registered with a government‑approved deposit protection scheme and meet all legal requirements.
- Landlords can also benefit from our Rent Guarantee Scheme, which provides additional protection against missed rental payments.
Whether your property requires full management or simply a compliant solution under an Agent of Necessity arrangement, our knowledgeable team ensures your investment remains safeguarded while tenants enjoy a transparent, well‑supported renting experience.
