We offer a hands-on service, and have a nuanced understanding of the area, ensuring you receive the best possible level of service.

Our Lettings Services

Aspire’s ARLA qualified lettings teams work closely with our sales departments to provide seamless service for landlords across South West London. We will market your property across the major property portals, as well as our own website and a range of additional marketing channels when appropriate. We are strategic in everything we do, and the goal is to ensure the right tenant as efficiently as possible. 

Once a tenant is secured, Aspire will arrange the references and prepare the tenancy documents which form part of the contract between landlord and tenant.

The steps include:

Tenant Sourcing: We research, source, reference and secure a tenant for your property
Full management: For those who choose our Property Management Service, every aspect of the tenancy is handled on your behalf, from boiler repairs at midnight to routine inspections
Rent collection: For those who choose our Rent Collection Service, we handle monthly collection and payment processing, deposited directly into your account
Tenancy & rent reviews: We manage the ongoing periodic tenancy on your behalf, handling annual statutory rent adjustments and managing tenant handovers to minimize void periods.

Why Choose Aspire as Your London Letting Agent

Aspire brings together over 40 years of lettings and property management experience. Combined with extensive knowledge of the London property market, this experience allows us to offer informed advice and practical support to landlords across South West London.

Aspire offices are registered members of ARLA (the Association of Residential Letting Agents). This reflects our commitment to the highest standards and the best practices across the industry. 

Our staff are local, meaning they live and work within the areas in which they let. This gives them valuable insight into what tenants are looking for in Clapham versus what draws renters to Fulham. This local insight shapes how we price, market and position your property, ensuring the best results. 

What our clients say:

> "The exceptional rental value they achieved for our family home is a reflection of their professional expertise and knowledge of the local area. A genuine local estate agent."

Property Management for London Landlords

Contact our property management team through your local branch.

We deal with all tenant communication, coordinate and oversee maintenance work, conduct periodic inspections and handle deposit refunds when each tenancy ends. If you are based outside London, or simply don't want to be woken up at 11pm about a dripping tap, this is what it's for. Reliable rental income, without the operational hassle.

Landlord Compliance and Regulations

Letting a property in London carries a multitude of legal responsibilities, and those responsibilities change with great frequency. As your letting agent, we keep track of the lot:

• Energy Performance Certificates (EPC): rental properties in England need a valid EPC rated E or above before a tenancy can begin
• Gas safety: a Gas Safe registered engineer has to inspect every gas appliance once a year, and the certificate goes to your tenant
• Deposit protection: we're members of TDS (Tenancy Deposit Scheme) and make sure every deposit is protected within the required 30-day window
• Electrical safety: an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is required at least every five years
• Renters' Rights Act 2025: this legislation has introduced genuine reforms to the private rental market in England. Section 21 "no-fault" evictions no longer apply, and there are new rules on pet requests and rent increases. Read our guide to the Renters' Rights Act

We are members of TDS for deposit protection and The Ombudsman Scheme for lettings and have agreed to follow the TPO Code of Practice for Residential Estate Agents which goes well beyond that required by law.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose a letting agent in London?
Always check whether they are ARLA Propertymark members. If they are, they're regulated and hold client money in a designated protected account. Beyond that, find a local office in your area, ask about their referencing procedures and get a written breakdown of all fees before you commit.

What fees do letting agents charge landlords?
It's a matter of service level. Tenant-find-only is cheaper while full management, including rent collection, maintenance and inspections, costs more. We provide a written fee schedule in advance so there are no surprises.

Do I need a letting agent to rent out my property?
There is no legal requirement. But an ARLA-qualified agent takes care of marketing, referencing, deposit protection, compliance and paperwork. For most landlords with other commitments, that makes life considerably easier and less risky.

What does a letting agent do for landlords?
We market your property, conduct viewings, reference tenants, prepare the tenancy agreement, collect rent and, if you opt for full management, handle repairs, inspections and deposit returns when the tenancy ends.

What areas of London does Aspire cover?
South West London is our patch. We have offices in Fulham, Clapham, Battersea and Balham, and our coverage extends across Brixton, Tooting, Streatham, Nine Elms and the surrounding neighbourhoods.

What is the Renters' Rights Act and how does it affect landlords?
The Renters' Rights Act 2025 has introduced reforms to the private rental sector in England. Section 21 "no-fault" evictions have been abolished, and there are new rules relating to pet requests and rent increases. Our team can walk you through the details and explain what this means for your property specifically.
