Landlords
Harrison Homes offer three levels of service to accommodate the differing
needs of clients ranging from an Introductory Service for the more experienced
Landlord to a Full Management Service for complete peace of mind. The Full Management Service ensures that every aspect of the lettings process is dealt with efficiently and cost effectively on your behalf and that you avoid having to deal with any of the time consuming and demanding issues that can arise during a tenancy.

If agreement can not be reached on any deposit dispute then the agents decision will be final.(Only applicable where agent holds the deposit).
RENT AND LEGAL PROTECTION INSURANCE
Although the aim is to take every care in managing the property, Harrison Homes Lettings & Property Management cannot accept responsibility for non-payment of rent, damage or other default by the tenants, or any associated legal costs incurred in their collection.
To compliment our Full Management Services we can arrange an insurance policy for you that will guarantee the rent for the term of the tenancy and provide legal protection.
