Looking to rent your property?
Extremely supportive and honest advice, coupled with good knowledge of the market - especially for a novice to the landscape of selling! Thanks, Steve and team!
We’ve had the best experience with Andrea & Co Estate agents. There was full transparency throughout the renting process. Steven was always easy to reach, fast to respond and helpful. Very professional and at the same time approachable. Thank you for helping us find our first ever home in the UK and making the whole process a stress-free experience. If we return to London in the future, you’ll definitely be the first we reach out to!
Steven and his colleagues have been very professional and very helpful. We would highly recommend them.
Excellent service throughout the process. Steven is super responsive, and has a wealth of knowledge, experience and contacts. Would definitely work with again...Recommended!

Steven is one of the nicest agents you will come across. Highly professional and great communication skills. It was a pleasure working with him. Great Company.
Steven is a great agent. Personal, knowledgable service to help sell your home. I recommend.
I met Steven a year ago and he is perhaps one of the most knowledgeable and insightful people I have ever met. He's honest, reliable and above all hard working. I have recommended him to numerous people and would happily continue to do so.
#not your typical Estate Agent where commission is the focus, before client not the case at Andrea & Co. No hesitation in recommending! Very professional from valuation to completion. Nothing was too much trouble , we were always kept informed along the sale journey. We felt like our sale was the most important thing to them, and the buyer felt very valued too. During covid restrictions, we were not forgotten with calls and drop ins to make sure all was good with us. Will definitely use in the future, should we move again.
Steven Andrea was just fabulous. He was professional, efficient and very cheerful, friendly and approachable. I was about to complete on the sale of my freshly renovated house and was dreading moving into a rental property. I need not have worried. Steven found me an amazing, spacious flat. I had a week to get through referencing. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. I can hand on heart thoroughly recommend Andrea & Co Estate Agents.
Steven is really helpful and nice. He offers very good service tailored to your need and always think of your interest first. He is responsive and always there ready to help. He delivered exceptional client experience despite the very low fee he charges compare to some other agents. A big recommendation if you need to let or sell your property!
Great Agents, very helpful and attention to detail in their approach which is excellent! Still using them years later!

Our Partners
Inventory
We get asked frequently, "why are inventories so important?" In order to protect your biggest asset, you need to be sure that when your tenant moves out, it's returned in the same condition. In the event that it is not, you need to be able to prove the difference in order to claim damages. That's why we use Just Checking Homes.
They produce for us highly details photographic check-in and inventories, quarterly inspections and check-outs. They also store the original high resolution photos, should they be need again at the end of the tenancy to make claim.
Client Money Protection
CMP is a scheme that reimburses landlords and tenants should a letting agent misappropriate their rent, deposit or other client funds. It has long been a requirement for ARLA Propertymark members to have CMP and has been a legal requirement for all letting agents since 1 April 2019.
Tenant Referencing and Rent & Legal Protection Insurance
A comprehensive tenant reference that incorporates a credit and background check, an employment/income reference, a landlord reference (if applicable) and a right to rent check. Together with a completed referencing report, Rent and Legal Protection Insurance is essential cover for all landlords. No one ever expects to have their tenant fall behind on rent, but it happens more often than you might think. And when it does, it can be a major headache for both landlord and us! Rent and Legal Protection Insurance is a must-have for any landlord looking to protect their income and that’s why at Andrea & Co we include this insurance as part of our Fully Managed service.
Frequenty Asked Questions
Do I need a license to rent my property?
We have partnered with Kamma, a company specifically designed to navigate the complexity of landlord licensing. When we conduct the valuation, we will also produce a Kamma report to check your boroughs local licensing laws.
Do I need a Portable Appliance Test (PAT) to rent my property?
Portable Appliance Test (PAT) is recommended, but not required to rent property in the UK. We recommend that one is conducted before the commencement of a new tenancy. Unless you expressly instruct us not to do so, we will instruct a contractor to conduct such reports on your behalf. Should you chose not to conduct the check, you will not be held liable for loss or damage to life or property.
Can I rent the property furnished?
Yes, you can! However, the furniture must comply with The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 and the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 1993. You must ensure all upholstered furniture, soft furnishings, beds, mattresses, pillows, and cushions supplied in the property complies with certain safety standards.
Do I need a Gas Safety Certificate (GSC)?
If your property has gas appliances, you are legally obliged to have all gas equipment checked and approved annually. It is a criminal offence to rent property with gas appliances, pipework and installations that have not been checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
What are the different types of tenancies agreements?
Assured Shorthold Tenancy: Where the net rent is less than £100,000.00 per year. Tenancy Agreements can be for a fixed duration, run month to month (i.e., a Periodic Tenancy), or be a combination of the two. A fixed term contract will give you more certainty, whilst the periodic tenancy will give you more flexibility. At the expiry of the initial term the tenancy will automatically roll on from month to month generally upon the same terms and conditions (including rent) unless and until you serve the tenant with a valid notice, or the tenant voluntarily surrenders possession.
Common Law: If the rent payable is £100,000.00 or more per year or at a proportionate level for a shorter Tenancy, the tenancy agreement cannot be an Assured Shorthold Tenancy. You will need to use a Common Law Agreement. Although this is not governed by the Housing Act 1988 it is nevertheless subject to other statutory regulations (e.g., Protection from Eviction Act 1977) which means that you must obtain a possession order from the County Court before a tenant can be evicted.
Company Lets: A Company Let may involve more pre-contract negotiation. There are no rent restrictions. Companies may request an option to renew which would bind the Landlord to a longer tenancy if the tenant wished to renew after the first term. If there is an option to renew, the landlord has no right to legally terminate the tenancy at the end of the first term.
Who holds the tenant’s security deposit?
We will hold the deposit as stakeholder. This means that we will hold the deposit on behalf of the tenant and the landlord (not just for the landlord). Andrea & Co is a Member of the Scheme operated by Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS). We will register the deposit and provide to the tenant and any relevant person documentation and information as is required by the Scheme and by law.
