Wells McFarlane, one of the East Midlands leading commercial property management and chartered surveying practices, has announced the launch of its new residential lettings division to serve Leicestershire and Warwickshire. 

With the UK rental market experiencing significant growth as a result of rising property prices and increasing difficulty in securing mortgages, Wells McFarlane felt the timing was right to offer a comprehensive and bespoke service specialising in all aspects of residential lettings, from tenant selection to full property management.

The new division is being managed by senior surveyor, Victoria Strickland and aims to provide landlords with the security of knowing their properties will be professionally managed whilst at the same time reassuring tenants their choice of property will meet all requirements. 

"Rental properties across Leicestershire and Warwickshire are highly sought after and Wells McFarlane has both the experience and market knowledge to satisfy this demand," explains Victoria. "We want to make the renting and management experience hassle-free for all involved and begin to develop long term relationships with landlords and tenants."

Wells McFarlane has marked the division's launch with its inaugural letting; a luxury, detached, four bed modern barn conversion in Wanlip, Leicestershire. Situated on a small development of six homes, the property has views over picturesque parkland and has been let on an assured shorthold tenancy to Martin Moore and Shelley Mercer.

"We are obviously pleased to have secured the first letting and look forward to helping more families find their new home," concluded Victoria.
