We specialise in the Chelsea area (postcodes SW1, SW3 & SW10) and the Riverside - specifically between Wandsworth Bridge & Lambeth Bridge.
Martin & Co letting and estate agents in Chelsea are very proud to specialise in corporate lettings & property management. We are also able to offer house and flats to rent for short lets.
We have all the necessary legislation and expertise to provide solutions for London landlords, and can advise on all aspects of the process for those who might be unfamiliar with the procedure. These include: tailored short-term letting tenancy agreements, inventory reports, gas safety certificates, furniture advice and professional cleaning.
We are members of The Chamber of Commerce, ARLA (The Association of Residential Lettings Agents), and The Cremorne Residents Association. Unlike most letting and estate agents we offer complimentary professional photos & brochures of your property to help attract the highest quality of tenant or buyer.
