T1 Property

T1 Lettings Ltd, an independent and family-run letting agency, was established in 2009. The firm's inception was driven by its founders' personal frustrations with the service quality offered by other local agents while managing their own property portfolio. This experience shaped the company's core mission: to provide exceptional service to landlords and to manage every property as if it were their own investment. T1 Lettings Ltd operates across Portsmouth, Bournemouth, and the surrounding areas, serving a diverse clientele that includes professional tenants, students, and families.

The company manages both single and multi-let properties, ensuring a personalized and efficient experience for property owners and a straightforward process for tenants. The company specializes in the management of Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs), a key aspect of its service offering that includes student accommodation. As multi-let specialists, T1 Lettings Ltd provides a fully managed service designed to protect and maximize the investment potential for landlords. This comprehensive approach includes a focus on achieving strong rental yields and identifying reliable, conscientious tenants who will treat properties with care.

The firm employs a thorough tenant vetting process to ensure that only suitable individuals are selected for properties. Communication is a priority for T1 Lettings Ltd, which maintains regular contact with landlords, tenants, and contractors, conducting routine property inspections and addressing any issues promptly. The company also utilizes a trusted team of contractors for all maintenance and cleaning tasks, offering reliable, flexible, and cost-effective services. For tenants, T1 Lettings Ltd aims to facilitate the process of finding suitable rental accommodation, whether it be a double room in a professional shared house, a flat, or a family home.

The firm offers online applications, aims for low upfront costs, and schedules viewings at the convenience of prospective tenants. All properties managed by the company are maintained to high standards, with a team of qualified contractors ensuring that maintenance tasks are completed efficiently. For HMOs, the company provides regular cleaning and gardening services to maintain tidy and welcoming communal areas. The firm's approach is designed to help tenants settle into their new homes quickly and with minimal hassle.

T1 Lettings Ltd is committed to upholding industry standards and best practices, holding memberships with several professional bodies. The company is a proud member of the Property Redress Scheme, the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA), and the Property Investors Network. Additionally, the firm is an accredited landlord and a member of the Portsmouth District Private Landlord Association. The company emphasizes continuous professional development, regularly updating its knowledge of the latest legislation and industry best practices.

The team comprises property investment professionals with over 20 years of combined experience in lettings and property management. Tom, a director, holds a business degree and possesses extensive experience in dealing with investors and large-scale developments, in addition to his roles as managing director of Hunnings Homes and non-executive director of All Build Developments. Jenni, the Lettings Manager for the Portsmouth branch, joined the company in August 2023 and brings over five years of experience from other letting agencies.
