Why let through Aztec?
Tenant vetting
At Aztec we believe finding a suitable Tenant for your property is one of the most important parts of the process. Once we have an interested applicant we will initially vet and review their application with you and if we are happy to proceed to the next stage then we will submit the application to a reference agency to carry out credit history checks, gain references from employers and landlords. Subject to satisfactory results we will begin the Tenancy preparations.
Regular inspections
Your property is your asset and it is important to maintain it. At Aztec we carry out regular property inspections to check the condition of the property, make note of any maintenance issues and ensure smoke alarms are working. You will receive a copy of the inspection report which will highlight any issues. We will assist with any follow up works required.
Detailed property inventory
Another important part of the process is the Property Inventory. Once a suitable Tenant is found for your property Aztec will compile a detailed inventory of the property with timestamped pictures, detailed notes and check in meter readings. The Property Inventory ensures transparency of the condition of the property and is used to cross reference the Check Out Inspection at the end of the Tenancy.
Competitive fees
We provide a competitive fee structure and ensure to maintain high levels of services. With Aztec you will always receive a fully-fledged Lettings and Management service, this includes our high street office, experienced staff members, modern marketing methods using social media and internet portals, To Let boards and advertising in the local press.

Accredited letting agents
On top of our years of experience and extensive marketing methods Aztec have a string of accreditations and the one we are most proud of is being members of the ARLA Property Mark. The ARLA accreditation required a member of staff to pass a series of exams and to continue their professional development on a yearly basis. Also the company had to go through rigorous auditing of their accounts. What this means for our customers is that we have to maintain a level of service and ensure that we are up to date and comply with all the latest regulations being introduced to the Lettings industry.
