What to expect if you decide to allow Nest Sales & Letting manage your property
In order for you get things right from the outset, best practice is for one of our agents specialising in property lettings to visit you at the property you intend to let out. Alter- natively you can call to our office on Haymarket Bridge, Drogheda whereby we can go through details such as;

Obligations under The Tenancy Act of 2014. Our managed or unmanaged service (let only). Any other queries you may have.
Under the Property Services Regulatory Authority’s code of practice you will need to sign a letter of engagement, a copy of your ID and a recent utility bill.
A BER (Building Energy Rating) Certificate must also be provided for advertising purposes.
If you wish to have an inventory included in the lease agreement you will need to supply it before the tenancy commences.
If your property is part of a multi unit development we will need “The House Rules” for your tenant.

Depending on each individual property we can offer professional photos, videos if needed, our landmark office can promote your property in our state of the art LED displays as well as on websites such as daft.ie, rent.ie & nest.ie.
Once we have instructions from you as to the type of tenant you are looking for and you give us keys, alarm code/access codes and fobs which are kept securely in our office, we will check our database of tenants already vetted and arrange viewings.
Once we are satisfied the potential tenants are the correct profile for your property we will set up a viewing and give you feedback as things progress.
