To meet the rapidly increasing need for affordable housing, a social lettings agency was developed with the objective of making good-quality rented accomodation more accessible within the town - Guildhall Residential Lettings.


We adopt an ethical approach that aims to support the Council's continuous efforts to improve access to as well as standards within with private rented sector, bring empty properties back into use, help prevent homelessness in the borough and reduce the number of homeless households living in temporary accomodation.


Here at Guildhall Residential Lettings, we provide expert, impartial and comprehensive advice on leasing and letting and, by encouraging self-service and effectively utilising the latest technology, we are able to provide landlords and tenants with excellent services that provide value for money. Guildhall Residential Lettings places great emphasis on honesty, fairness and excellence when dealing with tenants and landlords, as well as serving a greater social purpose within the town.
