    The service choice which is right for you

    At Scoffield Stone we have an experienced team that can assist you with any aspect of letting your property. Whether you are a first time Landlord or more experienced with an established property portfolio, we can offer a service which can be tailor made to meet your individual requirements. With both a straight forward tenant find or a comprehensive Lettings and Management service, you can decide which option is best for you.


  • paragraph

    Getting Started

    The first step on the road to letting your property is for us to provide you with a free, no obligation rental appraisal. Along with our separate Landlord's Information booklet, we will give you a detailed explanation of all the current legislation and of the documentation required prior to the letting of your property. This will include the Energy Performance Certificate, Gas Safety Record, Periodic Electrical Inspection, Furniture and Furnishings Regulations and the Tenancy Deposit Scheme to ensure that you are aware of your responsibilities and obligations as a landlord. Moving forward we will keep you fully informed through every step of the lettings process.


  • paragraph

    Preparing for every eventuality

    The referencing process is modelled in such a way that, with the help of an external referencing company we can find you the most suitable tenant(s) possible. Sometimes, unforeseen circumstances can see a tenant defaulting on their rent. To safeguard your position, we offer a specialist landlord's insurance policy (rental warranty) via our referencing company. A rental warranty can provide peace of mind in the unlikely event that you need it.


  • paragraph

    What can we do for you?

    If you are considering letting out a property or would like some advice as to how to get started, then our established lettings team would be more than happy to help. We offer a roster of professional services allowing you to select your level of involvement with the letting and management of your property. With the option of a straight forward advertisement and tenant find service or alternatively a comprehensive management service, you can decide which approach best suits your needs.

    Testimonials from Tenants

    • Tenant Testimonial

      Nothing was too much trouble
      I was only a tenant for one short year with Scoffield Stone and it honestly changed the way I viewed estate agents. As it's a small company with all experienced agents they all know what they are talking about and how best to help us as tenants. As there were a few issues throughout the year they always made me feel like I could contact them and ask them for any advice or help and nothing was too much trouble. They were all very efficient and made sure I knew any issue I had would not take long to solve and that I felt like I was at the top of their priority list. The only reason I left Scoffield Stone was due to moving to a different city otherwise I would have stayed. A year after leaving Scoffield Stone I am moving again, I asked for a landlord reference and Paul very kindly agreed to complete this for me. They not only help out new or existing tenants but also old ones. If I was to move back to the Derbyshire area I would choose Scoffield Stone to find my next home
