Property Management Services in Canterbury

Leydon Lettings offer landlords fair and transparent, lettings and management fees. Manage your property today to get the benefits!

As a Canterbury landlord, you can benefit from one of four property management services, with Leydon Lettings, as your letting agent.

These include:

  • Tenant Referal (bronze)
  • Tenant Find (silver)
  • Rent Collection (gold)
  • Fully Managed (platinum) 

In addition to our four lettings and management services, Leydon Lettings, as a predominantly student letting agency, recognises that student and professional property management fees are not a one-size-fits-all.

Therefore, professional and student landlords, managing properties with Leydon Lettings, will receive separate lettings fees. This reflects the difference in workload for student and professionally managed properties.

If you have any questions or queries regarding our lettings fees or property management services, please do not hesitate to contact a member of our team.
