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.

Keira in particular was fantastic, handling the viewings and offers efficiently and keeping everything moving smoothly. The whole process was sorted within a few weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Highly recommend!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had a wonderful experience with Sears. Every person we dealt with brought something special to the experience, their own kindness, professionalism, and personal touch. It was clear that everyone genuinely cared and took pride in providing excellent service. I did have a particular favourite, but I won’t mention them as it wouldn’t be fair when each person we met had their own unique qualities that made the whole experience so positive. I will keep them on their toes, wondering who that person might be 😉 A fantastic team, and I would happily recommend Sears to anyone looking for great service and people who truly care. Wishing the entire Sears team only the best”
