Letting in Winchester
When letting property, your peace of mind – keeping your investment protected in your absence – is of utmost importance. Especially as market conditions change, having an experienced team that’s fully informed and dedicated to your property is the best way to continue receiving maximum rent with the minimum void periods.
Combining Winchester-insider knowledge with a commercial mindset means that, at Belgarum, your valuable asset is managed by experts in the local market. (Literally, in the local market.)
People who know who’s who, what’s what and how to get the job done in this area, who retain a firm grasp of the 150+ different pieces of legislation currently in play, ensuring you stay fully compliant.
“No one understands Winchester like we do. The lived experience we bring is not only the maturity and professionalism of our people, but the insight only real locals can offer.”

Discerning tenants,
in a discerning market
Renting is a long-term prospect for many, with short term lettings increasingly becoming a natural stage in life for those on the move.
The lettings market in Winchester is particularly lively. Expectations of a Winchester property for the tenant, and of a Winchester tenant for the landlord, are equally high. Just as we will not represent a residence that falls below standards or legislation, we only place tenants who are qualified, secure and respectful.
Ensuring the right people see your rental property advertised in all the right places is vital. It takes tenacity and initiative to source and match people to properties, in which we take great satisfaction, as the only letting agents in Winchester with a dedicated team on the ground.
Getting you the best possible rent from the best possible tenant
Once on our books, your property will be promoted to as many potential – and viable – tenants as possible. Extensive use of the leading lettings portals, including Rightmove and OnTheMarket (the only site to be endorsed by the National Association of Estate Agents) guarantees your rental property unrivalled positioning and market exposure. Not least because we use a number of websites not engaged by any of our competitors.
As the sole members in Winchester of the Guild of Professional Estate Agents, Belgarum has unique routes to promote your property nationwide and give you the marketing edge. As well as advertising widely in regional press, Belgarum properties are also showcased via a number of networked London offices, including a flagship Park Lane office, directly targeting an affluent market looking for property outside the capital.
Serious about service
As members of the ARLA (the Association of Residential Letting Agents), we have Client Money Protection (view our certificate here).
Your tenant’s deposit is also registered with TDS (Tenancy Deposit Scheme) and the TPO (The Property Ombudsman) redress scheme.

In-house, on-the-ground support
The Belgarum approach is to build long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships, face-to-face rather than as numbers on a spreadsheet.
You can choose the right level of involvement for you. Belgarum services range from introductions and/or rent collection to fully-managing the property, always with the guarantee of consistent professionalism, and for competitive rates.
Whether you prefer to walk in to our city centre lettings office, or stay in touch remotely, all requests from yourself or your tenant are fielded by our established in-house support team. Fully managed properties benefit from quick response times from our stable of local electricity, gas, plumbing, cleaning and security experts.
Belgarum have managed a number of rental properties for me since 2012. They have kept them occupied, well managed and communicated well throughout this period. The team at Belgarum are a model of professionalism and I can find no fault with their efforts.
