• EPC
• The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire Safety Regulations 1988 - as amended 1993)

We ask that properties to be accredited or to reach the standard of accreditation in order to promote and maintain good standards throughout all of the properties we manage.  If your property is not currently accredited please contact us or the Private Rented Accreditation Scheme directly.

What are the Fees?

There are set fees for specific services and a commission is taken from rents received before we transfer them to your account on a monthly basis via BACS.  More information regarding this can be found on the website or talking to our staff directly.

Residential Letting Agency

This is the standard residential letting package for clients, with some of the benefits including professional management service, tenancy referencing, rent and legal insurance for 6 months and regular management visits.  Removing all the hassle of managing your own properties.

Finders Fee

Some Landlords wish to manage their own properties but often experience difficulties finding suitable tenants.  Property Bay Wales is able to provide a Tenant Finder Service.  This service is for a one off fee and includes advertising your property, tenancy and referencing checks and a Tenancy Pack for you and your tenant.

Social Letting Agency

This part of the Agency is available to those with an immediate housing need who may normally not have access to the Private Rented Sector.  We provide support and additional control measures (Bond certificates, regular visits, pre-tenancy training etc) to make their tenancies sustainable.

How much Rent can I expect?

The rental value of the property is dependant on various factors - size, location and condition of the property.  We will however market your property at a realistic and competitive rate in order to minimise the loss of income by ensuring the property is quickly re-let.  The rent may also have to reflect the level of Local Housing Allowance, which can vary as obviously you do not want to prices yourself out of the market.

Housing Benefit

We have excellent relations with Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council's Housing Benefit Section and our staff are comprehensively trained to assist tenants and clients alike with housing benefit and other similiar matters.

Rental and Legal Insurance

We will provide this free for the first 6 months (depending upon the insurance firms criteria) or if you have any current sitting tenants our broker maybe able to help you find a better deal.
