Lettings agents and SolicitorsA powerful combination
As an estate agency run by a solicitors firm, we can offer huge benefits in terms of financial savings and service.
We make savings by sharing our overheads and pass those savings to you.
Where are agents work in the same office as the solicitors, it makes your life easier through the conveyancing transaction and also can help speed things up without the need to update third parties. Everything is under one roof.
Working with our solicitors
For new landlords, we offer a free conversation with one of our Landlord and Tenant Solicitors to give you an understanding of what you need in place as a new Landlord and to help with any questions you have.

Professional photography
We outsource our photography services to a specialist company, thus ensuring the highest quality photographs which showcase your property and highlight key features to potential buyers.
Floorplans
As part of our service we create 2D and 3D floorplans of your property, along with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) if required.
Virtual tours
We offer virtual tours (also known as 3D tours) to allow potential buyers to take their own tour of the inside and outside of a property before any potential “in person” visit. Viewers are able to control which part of the house they would like to look at from differing angles.
How we market your home
Aletta Shaw market your home where it matters. We list all properties on Rightmove, Zoopla and Prime Location. This is where the majority of house hunters will be looking for their next purchase.
As well as using our own extensive experience to make your property look its best, we use a specialist company to take professional photographs alongside a bespoke virtual tour of your property. They also prepare 2D and 3D floorplans, along with an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) where required. Outsourcing these tasks to a company with many years’ experience of photography and videography is a key advantage for our clients.
