What we do

Landlord Estates has been managing our substantial portfolio, and landlords buy-to-lets and entire portfolios on behalf of property investors for more than 20 years. Our team is reassuringly up-to-date with existing and incoming compliance, and we constantly monitor announcements by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities so you don’t have to. We’ll inform you of any legislation changes and implement them if they affect your investment activity.

Our job is to keep your tenants safe, ensure your buy-to-let is run within the law and that preserve the value of your property. To do this, Landlord Estates has cultivated preferential relationships with a number of trades and third-party suppliers, giving our landlords access to vital on-demand services, including:
