Established tradition and values

Christies is a highly focused company with a great desire to maintain the professional, efficient and courteous way that our business operates. We opened our first office in Southsea in 2005 and have established ourselves as one of the area's leading letting agent. We are continually looking to improve every aspect of our business from customer service, staff development and training, understanding and embracing the very latest technology and the delivery of high quality property information.

Choosing the right tenant

Each prospective tenant is vetted carefully through Maras, an independent referencing agency who were one of the first companies operating in the credit sector to recognize the increasing professionalism of letting agents.

Maras has been providing services to Christies for over 4 years. Their core business is the vetting of prospective tenants for rental property; however they also provide other services and products such as rental guarantee and legal expenses insurance (this is only available via letting agents registered with Maras), buildings insurance for Landlords and contents insurance for Landlords and Tenants. For more information on the Maras services please call our offices.

Property Management Department

We have a dedicated Management Department based our Southsea Office experienced staff dealing with the day to day management of our properties. We currently manage over 200 properties for landlords, many of whom reside overseas. Our fully computerized office can offer prompt payments of rent each month, prepare monthly statements, pay ongoing bills, account for necessary maintenance, carry out property inspections, chase any rent arrears and negotiate annual rent reviews.

Full property management is the preferred service level for the majority of our landlords, many of whom reside overseas or simply do not want any involvement in the letting and management process. It is also worth mentioning that fully managed properties tend to attract corporate tenants etc.

Website advertising

The World Wide Web is now very much a vital part of the property market. Over 70% of the UK has access to the internet, not to mention those from overseas.

Christies have recognized this and we have invested in our website to facilitate those people who would prefer to find their next home over the internet, with easy access 24/7. As well as a fresh modern design we pride ourselves on the fact that our website is updated daily.

Property portals

As well as large investment in the development of our website we are also represented on some of the UK's largest and most popular property websites.

Longer opening times

Our offices are open from 8am untill 6pm weekdays and 8am until 4pm Saturdays. More often than not our highly motivated staff will work beyond these times in order to accommodate even later appointment times and move-ins.

Market appraisal

The next step is to call Christies and arrange for one of our experienced staff to carry out a rental appraisal of your property. We pride ourselves and have built our reputation on being able to fully identify and exploit the full level and potential of your property; we also recognize that it is important to correctly value your property in order to secure a suitable tenant sooner rather than later, thus avoiding unnecessary void periods.
