Unhappy with your current agent? Switching to us is free, your tenants stay exactly where they are, and your first 60 days of management are free. We handle the handover and check your compliance.
Yes. Your tenancy is an agreement between you and your tenant, not your agent. Changing agent doesn’t end it or change its terms.
Your tenant doesn’t need to sign anything new, the rent stays the same and they keep living in the property as before. What changes is who looks after it: who collects the rent, who your tenant calls about repairs and who keeps your paperwork in order.
Since 1 May 2026, tenancies in England are periodic, with no fixed end date. So there’s no “end of term” to wait for. The only timing that matters is the notice period in your current agent’s contract.
Your current agent
Gallery Properties
Your tenant stays put the whole time.
If any of these sound familiar, it may be time to move.
Your tenant ends up chasing you because the agent hasn’t acted. Awaab’s Law is set to bring legal deadlines for serious hazards in private rentals.
Contractor invoices arrive with a commission added on top, so every repair costs more than it should.
There’s no named contact, emails go unanswered and you only hear from the agent when there’s a bill.
A gas safety record or electrical report has lapsed, or there’s no record of what was given to your tenant.
Rent is paid over late, deductions are unclear or money sits with the agent longer than it should.
Nobody has talked to you about the landlord database, rent increases under Section 13 or the new possession rules.
You make one decision. We do the chasing.
Book a call or send us your current agency agreement. We check the notice period and any exit fees, and agree the best date to switch.
You tell your current agent in writing that you’re leaving. We’ll help you word the letter, including the request for a full handover.
We chase your old agent for the deposit, documents, keys and any money they hold for you, and check that everything is complete.
Your tenant gets our contact details and the new rent payment details in writing, plus up-to-date information about where their deposit is protected.
We review every certificate and record, book anything that’s due, and your first 60 days of management are free.
Five things decide when you can leave and what it costs.
Many agency agreements ask for one to three months’ notice. Work out the earliest date you can leave.
Some contracts charge a fee for ending the agreement, especially in the first year.
Some contracts keep charging commission for as long as a tenant the agent introduced stays. Fees like this must be set out clearly, and the courts have found some of them unfair.
Check whether it’s held by a government-backed scheme or by the agent under an insured scheme. This decides how it moves to us.
Rent collected, repair floats and any other client money must be paid to you or passed to us when you leave.
Send us your agreement before you give notice. We’ll read it and tell you what leaving will cost. If a fee looks unreasonable, take legal advice before you pay it.
We request all of this for you and tell you if anything is missing.
Switching to us is free, and your first 60 days of management are free too. Every fee is on one page, and every package includes a one-month cancellation policy.

We’re based at Dresden House on Evesham High Street. When you switch, you get a named contact who knows your property, our own maintenance team for repairs, and people who pick up the phone.
We’re landlords ourselves, so we look after your property the way we look after our own.
Repairs go to Spectro, our in-house team, 24 hours a day. Jobs don’t wait for a gap in a contractor’s diary.
We don’t add a commission to contractor invoices. What the work costs is what you pay.
A dedicated contact for your whole portfolio, who knows your properties and your tenants.
Rent increases backed by local evidence, possession notices served correctly and help registering on the landlord database.
We’re members of a Client Money Protection scheme and the Property Redress Scheme, and UKALA accredited.
Managing landlords’ homes across Evesham, Worcester and Worcestershire since 2010, with landlords in Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds too.
Let properties in Worcestershire and the rest of the West Midlands must be on the new national landlord database by 14 March 2027. When you switch, we gather the certificates and tenancy details you need to register.
Yes. The tenancy is between you and your tenant, so changing agent doesn’t end it or change its terms. Since 1 May 2026, tenancies in England are periodic, so you don’t need to wait for a fixed term to end. You only need to follow the notice period in your current agent’s contract.
No. The existing tenancy carries on unchanged. We write to your tenant with our contact details and the new rent payment details.
It must stay protected the whole time. Your old agent passes the deposit, or responsibility for it, to us. If it moves to a different scheme, your tenant must be given the new scheme’s details. We do this for you.
It depends on your contract. Many agency agreements ask for one to three months. Send us your agreement and we’ll tell you the earliest date you can switch.
Some contracts include an exit fee, or a fee that continues while a tenant the agent found stays in the property. Fees like these must be set out clearly in the contract, and the courts have found some of them unfair. If a fee looks unreasonable, take legal advice before paying it.
Most of the timing comes from your current agent’s notice period. After that, the work is the handover of the deposit, documents and keys. We chase it for you and keep you updated until everything is with us.
Yes. Tell us at your switch review. We take over the arrears record, contact your tenant and, if it’s needed, prepare a Section 8 notice on the rent arrears grounds.
We manage landlords’ homes across Evesham, Worcester and the rest of Worcestershire, and work with landlords in Warwickshire, Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and the Cotswolds.
Switching to us is free, and your first 60 days of management are free. After that, rent collection costs 7.5% of the monthly rent and full management 12%, both including VAT. Premium, with rent guarantee, is 18%. Every package has a one-month cancellation policy.
Book a free switch review. We’ll look at your current contract and tell you the earliest date you can move and whether your current agent charges anything to leave. Switching to us is free.
