Letting a property is not just about finding a tenant
Landlords today need accurate pricing, strong marketing, proper referencing, correct tenancy setup, maintenance coordination, compliance awareness and clear communication, on top of everything else going on in life. Getting any one of those wrong can mean a longer void period, a poor tenant or an avoidable problem further down the line.
The Property Folk exists for landlords who want to protect their property and their rental income without being handed between departments. You deal directly with people who know the Tewkesbury rental market and will give you a straight answer.

A more personal lettings service from Josh and Hannah
Josh Rose-Freke and Hannah Rose-Freke are the husband-and-wife founders of The Property Folk, not branch managers or franchisees. When you let a property with us, you are not passed between a valuer, a lettings negotiator and a property manager you have never met. You deal with a founder, and that founder is accountable for getting it right.
That means communication is clearer, advice is practical rather than scripted, and if something needs sorting, you are speaking to someone who can actually sort it. Don't just take our word for it: read how responsive tenant handling and clear communication play out in real client reviews.
Local lettings knowledge across Tewkesbury and nearby areas
Rental demand is not the same on every street. Tewkesbury town centre, Ashchurch, Northway, Walton Cardiff, Mitton and The Mythe each attract a different mix of tenants, from commuters using the M5, A46 and A38 to families prioritising school access and a modern estate over a period property in the old town. Knowing which profile fits your property helps us price it correctly and market it to the right audience.
Beyond the town, we also cover lettings for landlords in the following nearby villages:
How our lettings process works
01
Rental conversation
We start with a straightforward conversation about your property, your goals and your timescale.
02
Property valuation and advice
Josh or Hannah visits the property, talks through likely rent and gives honest, practical advice before you commit to anything.
03
Preparing the property
We advise on presentation, any safety checks needed and the small changes that make the biggest difference to enquiries.
04
Marketing and viewings
Your property is marketed properly and viewings are handled personally, so serious enquiries are followed up quickly.
05
Tenant referencing and tenancy setup
Applicants are referenced properly, including Right to Rent checks, before the tenancy agreement and deposit are set up correctly.
06
Move-in and ongoing management, if selected
For fully managed lettings, we stay involved after move-in with maintenance coordination and clear landlord updates.
Built for landlords who want fewer surprises
Most of the frustration landlords tell us about is not really about rent. It is about not knowing what is happening. The Property Folk is built to remove that uncertainty:
- Void periods that drag on because marketing was not strong enough
- Poor communication once you have signed up with an agent
- Weak tenant referencing that leads to problems later
- Maintenance issues that take too long to sort out
- Fees and terms that were not properly explained upfront
- Uncertainty over compliance and what you actually need to have in place
- Not knowing what rent your property could realistically achieve
- Feeling like a number, rather than a landlord with a real point of contact
What landlords say about working with The Property Folk
Real Google reviews from landlords, covering pricing, tenant handling, viewings and being kept informed throughout a tenancy.
"I had been disappointed with my rental's management for awhile. Josh gave me plenty of his time and insight and, following my tenants serving notice, took the property on the day after it was vacated.…"
"Josh and Hannah are by far the best agency I've ever encountered. Having worked with Josh at a previous agency, once I found out he'd started his own agency with his partner, I thought it made sense to work with him again. I've not been disappointed.…"
"Josh and Hannah were great. They handled all our concerns. They set the price and got a figure higher than I expected. They also did all the checks, interviewed tenants and gave us a comprehensive inventory.…"
"Josh is very helpful, professional and understanding of what a landlord wants. Most importantly you are dealing with the boss"
"Excellent friendly service - light years ahead of our previous (well known) agent in every respect. Honest, dependable, knowledgeable, and appreciative of what a good service looks like for landlords and tenants alike."

Frequently asked questions for landlords
How much rent could my property achieve in Tewkesbury?
Achievable rent depends on the property type, condition, location, presentation, parking, outdoor space and current tenant demand. We can give you a local rental valuation and practical advice before you decide to let.
Do you offer fully managed lettings in Tewkesbury?
Yes. For landlords who want less day to day involvement, we offer full management, including tenant communication, maintenance coordination and practical support once a tenancy is running.
How much do you charge for Full Management?
The Property Folk's Full Management fee is 12% of the monthly rent. Final fees are confirmed in writing before instruction or renewal.
What is included in Full Management?
Full Management includes the main Let Only setup work plus ongoing tenant communication, maintenance coordination, periodic inspections, rent reviews, compliance checks, deposit registration, inventory and check-out reports, and practical landlord support throughout the tenancy. It is 12% of monthly rent plus a one-off £300 setup fee.
Do you ever charge more than your management fee, such as a mark-up on invoices?
No. Full Management is 12% of monthly rent plus the one-off £300 setup fee, and that covers the service in full. We never add a mark-up to contractor invoices or charge extra for routine tasks such as getting keys cut, no matter what the job is. The only other costs that can apply are the specific one-off services listed on this page, and these are only charged when you actually need them.
How much is Let Only (Tenant Find)?
The Property Folk's Let Only fee, also known as Tenant Find, is 75% of the first month's rent. This option is designed for landlords who want help finding and setting up a tenant, but prefer to manage the property themselves once they have moved in.
What is included in Let Only?
The Property Folk's Let Only service, also known as Tenant Find, helps landlords with rental advice, property marketing, enquiries and viewings, tenant referencing, tenancy agreement preparation, compliance check, and move-in support. It is designed for landlords who want help setting up the tenancy but prefer to manage the property themselves afterwards.
Are there additional landlord fees?
Periodic inspections, rent reviews, compliance checks, deposit registration and inventory or check-out reports are all included as part of Full Management, alongside the one-off £300 setup fee. Tenancy agreement preparation and serving a government notice are charged separately when needed, at the rates shown on this page. For Let Only, inventory or check-out reports are priced separately by property size.
Can you help if I already have a letting agent?
Yes. If you feel unsupported or want a more personal service, Josh or Hannah can talk you through your options for switching, including what a management transfer usually involves.
Which areas do you cover for lettings?
We cover Tewkesbury, including Ashchurch, Northway, Walton Cardiff and The Mythe, along with Mitton, Bredon, Twyning, Ripple, Kemerton, Longdon and Upton upon Severn.
What do landlords need before letting a property?
You will usually need to think about safety checks, compliance documents, tenancy paperwork, deposit protection, appropriate insurance and how the property is presented. We can talk you through the practical basics, though this is not legal advice.
Do you help first-time landlords?
Yes. We regularly help people who are letting a property for the first time and want clear, plain English support rather than jargon.
What makes The Property Folk different from a larger letting agent?
You deal directly with Josh Rose-Freke or Hannah Rose-Freke, the husband-and-wife founders, rather than being passed between departments. Advice is practical rather than scripted, and you always know who to call.
