We appointed Stella Lange LLP to rent and manage our property. We were impressed with the excellent service we received and their high standards in all aspects of their business: they organised all the renovations necessary, they identified clients and negotiated the rent within two weeks and since the tenants have moved in they have been managing the property in a professional, efficient and friendly way that keeps both the tenants and us fully satisfied. Letting our property via Stella Lange LLP has removed an important burden from our busy life and has made renting, while we live in the US, easy and carefree. We recommend them unequivocally.
