10 reasons to trust us to let and manage your rental properties

1) Creating financial resilience for you

We turn each property into an independent income stream for you. We deliver income you can rely on. We vet applicants with rigour and collect rent effectively – our trailing 12 month average is 99% of rent paid to landlords on-time.

2) Driving the local rental market

We are one of the leading letting agents in Wokingham with a considerable rental property portfolio, but what is the benefit for you? This broad portfolio means we can respond to market trends faster than anyone else, ensuring we optimise your income relative to market demand.

3) Advice to grow your portfolio

We add most value when we advise clients over the long-term on how to build their portfolio, improve their properties and protect the capital value of their assets. Good advice requires years of experience which the Michael Hardy team prides itself in.

4) Honesty and humility

Judge us on how we behave. We hire for attitude and for talent and we avoid the ‘pushy’ agent stereotype as we know that landlords want good advice, swift communication and zero waffle.

5) Part of a wider network

Founded in 1985, Michael Hardy became part of Foxtons, London’s No.1 Estate Agent in 2024, combining our local expertise with their powerful technology and increased
network size.

6) Ask our customers

We are proud of our local reputation which is reflected in positive online reviews on both Google and Feefo from customers who have used our services.

7) Under one roof in the heart of Wokingham

All our team are under the same roof in the centre of Wokingham and our Property Managers know the local area inside out. Why does this matter? Our team go and see the properties, unlike many agents whose Property Managers are based miles away in a call centre.

8) Total accountability – one point of contact

No voicemail menus, no passing the buck, no ‘computer says no’. You will have one point of contact who knows your portfolio and understands what you need. This is the heart of our service.

9) A proud part of the community

We want to play our part. We know that our community’s success is our success, and this fuels our passion to go the extra mile and make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve.

10) Intelligent use of tech to lower your costs

We use leading software products to lower your costs by reducing call-out fees and by making the deposit negotiations easier after tenancy check-out.
