Rent is collected by direct debit or standing order and paid to you within 3 working days of the tenant paying.
Your rent is held in a ring-fenced client account, separate from Caso's own money and covered by Client Money Protection.
Arrears are chased from day one with a dated record. You are told the same day if a payment is late.
You receive a monthly statement for each property, with every invoice attached in the portal.

Finding your tenant
We manage, we do not let. When your property is empty we appoint one of the best letting agents in your area to find the tenant. Their fee is agreed with you in writing before anything starts, and Caso adds nothing to it. We brief the agent, approve the marketing, check every applicant's referencing, handle the move-in and protect the deposit. You deal with one company throughout.
- Agent chosen on results, not on who we know
- Fee agreed in writing before marketing starts
- Caso takes nothing from the agent
