Understand the process of lettings
Step-by-step letting guide
The first step is to understand what your property is worth on the rental market. Our local valuers will assess your home based on its location, condition and current demand to provide a realistic rental figure, not an inflated one. We’ll also offer advice on presentation, furnishing and small improvements that can help maximise your income and attract quality tenants quickly.

Once you’re ready to let, we’ll create a professional listing designed to make your property stand out.
This includes:
- Professional photography and floorplans
- Listings on Rightmove and OnThe Market
- Exposure through our own website and social media channels
- Proactive tenant matching from our local database
Our marketing is focused on attracting the right tenants, not just the first tenants.
We handle all tenant enquiries, viewings and negotiations on your behalf. Every applicant undergoes comprehensive referencing, including credit checks, employment verification and previous landlord references. This thorough process ensures your property is let to reliable tenants who will look after your home.
Once you’ve approved a tenant, we’ll prepare all the necessary documentation and ensure every legal requirement is met.
We handle:
- Tenancy agreements compliant with current legislation
- Deposit registration with a government-approved scheme
- Right to Rent and safety certificate checks (Gas, EICR, EPC)
With our expert guidance, you’ll always remain compliant and protected.
When your tenants move in, our management team takes over, providing regular inspections, maintenance coordination and professional support throughout the tenancy. We’re based locally, so you and your tenants always have a dedicated point of contact. Our goal is to ensure your investment is cared for and your tenants remain happy, reducing void periods and protecting your returns.
As the tenancy approaches renewal, we’ll conduct a rent review and advise on market conditions. We handle renewals and any required notices, ensuring your property remains profitable and legally up to date. For portfolio landlords, we also offer strategic guidance to help you expand and strengthen your investments across Berkshire.

I can't thank Kiera, Andy, and Jess enough for their patience, support, and dedication in helping us find the perfect home.

“I couldn’t have asked for a better experience so far with selling my apartment with Sears. This is the first time I have gone through selling a property and from the initial valuation with Harvey, the team have really put me at ease. They have been really friendly, professional, and knowledgeable with fantastic communication. Aimee and Poppy in particular have also gone over and above my expectations by leafleting/ door knocking down particular streets we are interested in purchasing from. I really cannot rate the team highly enough would recommend them to anyone looking for an estate agent.”

“I have just come out of a difficult divorce and was looking to purchase a house for myself and my children. The thought of viewing properties on my own was a bit daunting for me. I first made contact with Sears Estate agents in Wokingham a few months ago and viewed two properties that they were marketing. I met Poppy at both viewings, she was warm, friendly, and professional as well as being very knowledgeable about the properties. Unfortunately, I did not have a buyer for my property so was unable to put in an offer or purchase with Sears. However, I was very impressed that Poppy and her colleague Amy, acknowledged my property search and contacted me recently about another suitable property, before it was marketed live on websites. They were very efficient in arranging a viewing for me promptly. I was met at the property by Alison, who was again, very warm, friendly, welcoming, patient and open to questions. After the viewing, I went to Sears estate agents office in Wokingham town centre, where I was met in a friendly manner and offered a hot drink, which was a nice touch. Poppy assisted me with the administration involved in putting an offer forward, as I had unfortunately left my glasses in my car! She was very helpful and patient and explained how the process of putting the offer forward to the vendor worked. I was very impressed with the office layout, clean lines, modern decor and comfortable chairs. I would like to mention that I was very impressed with my experience with Sears, Wokingham, the staff are excellent role models and ambassadors for Sears, keep up the good work. Allison Radcliffe 😀”
