Propertymark members are leaders in the industry, David Grace x EMPM are Propertymark Members, so we can offer our tenants the reassurance that we know what we are doing and we do it well.
As an independent agent, there is no head office pushing us for results, we take the time and trouble to help you find the right home, there’s no pressure or hard sell! We want you to be happy with the property and will make sure its all affordable before you even complete the referencing process.
We understand that not all tenants understand how renting a property works and that sometimes you need a little extra help and we are happy to assist. We will help you set all your utilities along with offering some fantastic deals on the media side. We will help with your application if needed, advise if we think you need a guarantor, assess your affordability for you before we even commence referencing.
Being a local company, employing local staff means we know the area and will help find the right place for you. Moving house is an exciting time, but it can also be a stressful one. Before all the packing and organising even starts you need to find a property. And not just any property, one that’s right for you, and that’s where we come in!
