Prime Central Let (PCL)
The plan is to help tenants find their long stay home easily, without trekking to a gazillion properties before they find the ideal place.
Compared to large serviced apartment sites and agency sites, PCL allows you to see the exact apartment you will be taking, not the ‘type’ of apartment and so avoiding the disappoint when you arrive.
Compared to estate agency sites, PCL allows you to navigate through a vast number of properties, save them to a shortlist and send that selection to our staff to follow-up.
Also the landlord has to provide images, specifications of common parts and services allowing the tenant to accurately assess without having to attend the property in the first instance.
