ABOUT US
Lettings
Lesley Greaves established her own Estate Agency brand in 2006 having gained a working knowledge of the industry and had a
desire to offer a more ‘personal service’ inspired ethos. This proved to be extremely successful and as such moved to new premises
in Burton Joyce in 2008; a location that has proved so popular our ‘village specialists’ can still be found in that very same location
today. Further expansion beckoned and in March 2015 she proudly opened an office in Gedling. This office increased the
popularity of the successful independent brand so much so that in 2017 she was able to open a third office in Mapperley.
Lesley and all of her team at each extremely successful office realise that customer focus is absolutely vital to selling and letting;
together with the use of the latest technology. All of our colleagues have access to the latest software and are able to use this
powerful tool to enable them to keep each individual applicant informed as soon as a suitable property comes on to the market.
We offer the widest possible coverage with our great local network of offices, that are all linked with state of the art computer and
integrated telephone systems, so no opportunity to sell or let your property is missed.
We understand the service you require and as such as a client we offer you every opportunity to discuss any questions you have
face to face with a member of our team; who are here to help you through every step of the transaction.
Once instructed to rent your property we will arrange to take quality photographs and prepare an informative brochure, to include
an energy performance certificate* Our incentivised colleagues will then match your property to their professionally qualified
applicants and call them immediately. In conjunction with this we will place your properties full details on rightmove.co.uk and
lesleygreaves.co.uk giving you the maximum national and indeed global coverage as well as using Facebook, Twitter and Instagram
to keep clients aware of our social media coverage . As a valued client you can also choose to use our full accompanied viewing
service which is offered to you exclusively at no extra charge.

When Lesley decided to open her own estate agency in 2006, a year later
she wanted to offer a complete service; this, of course, included letting
properties, a decision that has developed into a core part of the business.
When looking for an agent to take care of your letting needs it is
important to choose very carefully; we have over 10 years experience
successfully letting and managing clients properties with an incredibly high
level of repeat business; something that is rare in the letting market and of
which we are incredibly proud. We feel this is the greatest testimonial to
the service we provide.
Letting a property involves strict legislation that is ever changing and as
such you need an agent who has a complete and thorough understanding
of the up to date regulations; something we pride ourselves on with
ongoing training and full co-operation with local authorities across the
county.
Whatever level of service you are looking for we have a lettings package to
suit you; from tenant find only to a fully managed service where you have
complete peace of mind.
