Why let with HMT?
Local Experience
We’ve been letting and managing properties in Cheltenham since 1991. Our long-standing reputation means you can rely on us to protect your property and maximise your return. Whether you own a single buy-to-let or a growing portfolio, our property management services in Cheltenham are designed to keep things stress-free.
Tailored Marketing
We create tailored marketing to make your property stand out. Professional photography, floorplans, video tours, and 3D walkthroughs showcase your home, attracting high-quality tenants. We advertise on Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, social media, and to our local tenant database, often securing lets before the wider market.
Proactive Inspections
We don’t just react when something goes wrong — we prevent problems before they arise. Our regular inspections come with clear reports and photos, giving landlords complete visibility and peace of mind. They also reassure tenants that we care about them and their home, helping to build trust and encourage longer, more stable tenancies.
The Right Tenant, Not the First Tenant
We don’t rush to fill a property just for speed — finding the right tenant takes care and expertise. At HMT, we carry out thorough referencing checks covering employment, income, credit history and landlord references.
This ensures your property is matched with tenants who will respect it as their home, giving you security and peace of mind. As experienced letting agents in Cheltenham and the Cotswolds, we focus on long-term stability — helping landlords reduce void periods and protect their investment.
Rent Protection for Peace of Mind
Even the best tenants can face unexpected changes in circumstances, which can leave landlords exposed to financial risk. Our optional rent protection gives you complete peace of mind by safeguarding your rental income.
It covers unpaid rent, legal expenses, and eviction proceedings if things don’t go to plan. That means no sleepless nights, no unexpected losses — just reassurance that your investment remains secure whatever happens.
HMT Guide to Letting
Letting out your property is a big decision, so we’ve created a step-by-step guide to give you clarity and confidence
Our Services
Fully Managed
Our Fully Managed service gives landlords complete peace of mind. We take care of rent collection, inspections, maintenance coordination, safety checks, deposit management, and serving notices. You’ll have a dedicated property manager as your main contact, plus 24/7 tenant support to ensure issues are resolved quickly. For many landlords, it’s the ideal balance between maximising returns and minimising stress
Tenant Find
Our Tenant Find service is ideal for landlords who want professional marketing, thorough referencing, and a compliant tenancy agreement, while managing the property themselves day to day. We handle photography, advertising on major portals, viewings, negotiation, and tenancy paperwork. Once the tenant has moved in, you take over with the reassurance everything has been set up correctly from the start
Request a free Rental Valuation
Online valuations can only ever give you estimates based on generic data. We take property personally, which means meeting you in person, valuing your property accurately, and giving tailored advice on how to present it for the best return.
Navigating the Renters Reform Bill
The government’s upcoming Renters Reform Bill is set to introduce significant changes for landlords. While the details are still being finalised, we know it will impact how tenancies are managed — from notice periods to Section 21 reforms and beyond.
At HMT, we’re already preparing for these changes so our landlords don’t have to worry. Our team stays up to date with the latest legislation, and we’ll guide you through the new requirements step by step to ensure you stay compliant and protected
What you need to know
We provide evidence-based rental valuations using comparable local data. This ensures your property is competitively priced to attract quality tenants quickly while still securing a strong return.
Yes. By law, deposits must be registered with a government-approved scheme. We handle this process for you, giving you and your tenants peace of mind.
Landlords are legally responsible for keeping the property safe and habitable. If you choose our fully managed service, we’ll take care of all maintenance requests, inspections, and contractor arrangements on your behalf.
We carry out thorough tenant referencing, including credit checks, employment verification, affordability assessment, and previous landlord references. This helps ensure you get reliable tenants.
With our fully managed service, we monitor rent collection closely and act quickly if payments are missed. We’ll support you through the arrears process and can recommend rent protection options for extra security.
It’s not a legal requirement, but we highly recommend it. A professional inventory protects both you and your tenant by documenting the property’s condition at the start of the tenancy. This makes resolving any disputes at the end far simpler.
