Landlords
At Breens, we understand that being a landlord is more than just owning property—it’s about maximizing your investment while ensuring peace of mind. Our innovative approach to property management sets a new standard in the industry.
Let With Confidence
Letting your property should feel seamless, secure, and well looked after — and with Breens, it does. Our experienced in-house lettings team provides tailored guidance at every stage, combining deep local knowledge with an intuitive understanding of what matters most to landlords.
We’re proud to be award-winning, recognised for the service we provide and the relationships we build. Whether you’re a first-time landlord or managing a portfolio, our fully managed service takes care of everything — from finding the right tenants to handling maintenance and compliance — so you can enjoy consistent returns with complete peace of mind.
Our Letting Process
1. Onboarding
We begin with a thorough onboarding process — reviewing your documentation, ensuring compliance with lettings legislation, and getting your property fully prepared to go to market. It’s about getting things right from the very start.
2. Marketing
Your property is beautifully presented with professional photography and compelling descriptions, then promoted across major portals and targeted digital channels to attract the right tenants quickly.
3. Viewings
Our team handles all enquiries and viewings with professionalism and care — showcasing your property and providing feedback along the way, so you’re always in the loop.
4. Referencing
Once an offer is accepted, we partner with HomeLet to carry out comprehensive tenant referencing. This includes credit and affordability checks, employment verification, and references from previous landlords — giving you the confidence that your tenants are reliable, responsible, and financially secure.
5. Move In
We manage the move-in process with clarity and precision — from arranging contracts and deposit registration to coordinating the handover, making it a seamless transition for both landlord and tenant.
6. Ongoing Management
With our fully managed service, we take care of the day-to-day — from maintenance and inspections to rent collection and renewals — so you can relax knowing your property is in expert hands.
