Market rental comparisons across Orchard and Shipman’s core operating territories have given them confidence  in demonstrating higher net returns for Landlords and Investors compared to the annual rental incomes achieved by property management companies who’re less transparent when it comes to hidden costs.

Orchard and Shipman’s long established partnerships with Local Authorities coupled with over 25 years’ experience working with Landlords and Property Investors nationwide,  ensure their successes in the private rental sector with a highly attractive suite of exclusive benefits that remove the hidden costs that arise with so many other letting schemes and result in a higher investment return for landlords.

Orchard and Shipman’s current proposition to Landlords includes:

    • Yield maximising strategies
    • Multiple lease options
    • Rental market assessments
    • Expert local knowledge
    • Guaranteed rent with no voids     
    • Local rental market trends
    • Project management
    • Financial & legal service
    • Portfolio management
    • Protection against tenant damage


The staff at Orchard and Shipman are well trained, have a wealth of experience and a proven track record for delivering exceptional customer service. Their knowledge allows them to provide expert advice on the lettings process and the legal obligations of a Landlord.

Put simply, if you’re considering letting a property or seeking a property investment opportunity, Orchard and Shipman will not only provide a quality service and guarantee you a return on your investment, they will reward you handsomely for your contribution in helping fulfil the social housing demands in the UK.


We are delighted to be attending the Landlord Investment Show in Croydon this year and it is building up to be a fantastic event.  With the regeneration of Croydon in progress, the show will illustrate what massive investment opportunities that are available in the Croydon and surrounding areas.

The Landlord Investment Show is all about connecting Landlords, Investors, Developers & Property Professionals with industry leaders and suppliers who can help with all aspects of buy-to-let investments.

If you're considering letting or investing in property to let in and around Croydon, come and visit Orchard and Shipman at the Landlord Investment Show.

Real estate investing is one of the best ways to build wealth, but it is often approached in ways that result in lower than average rental incomes, unforeseen expenses, uncertainties relating to regular payments, and the risks and expense associated with void periods.

The good news is, an annual rental income from a property that is now putting money in your pocket, rather than taking it out of your pocket, becomes an asset rather than a liability, and most Landlords are happy with that.


However, today’s Ultra-Savvy Landlords, are looking for more than that. They want higher than average annual rental incomes, with minimal expenses, reduced risks and long term lease periods without the uncertainty of void periods; allowing them to truly profit from their assets and build the wealth they set out to.



Too much to ask?  The social housing market is currently delivering just that!



It’s easy to assume that letting your property to tenants in receipt of housing benefit should be avoided like the plague. Surely no Landlord in their right mind would put themselves at risk of payments made in arrears, property damage and complex claims procedures, not to mention upsetting the neighbours? That is, unless there is a solution to all of these things…



At Orchard and Shipman, our nationwide property services company has a proposition that is satisfying more and more of today’s ‘Ultra-savvy’ Landlords and Investors by ensuring high rental incomes, guaranteed rent without voids, long term lease periods of up to 5 years and no hidden costs. 



Working with our Local Authority partners and central government to provide social housing solutions, we are also offering generous cash incentives to private Landlords who make their properties available to Let for people in receipt of housing benefits. 



Orchard and Shipman’s nationwide portfolio of over 4,500 Landlords and Investors profit from monthly rental incomes that compete favourably with the annual average achieved through Orchard and Shipman’s competitors. 



With generous new Landlord incentives coupled with a quality service offering, Landlords can now benefit from cash rewards, minimal risks, minimal expenses, and no hidden costs. 



Orchard and Shipman’s current proposition to Landlords and Investors includes:

  • Generous cash incentives
  • Long term leases of up to 5 years
  • Guaranteed monthly rent with no voids
  • A fully managed service
  • Protection against tenant damage
  • Free rental assessments
  • Expert local knowledge
  • Local rental market trends
  • Yield maximising strategies
  • No legal fees
  • No hidden costs
  • No hassle

Put simply, if you’re considering letting a property or seeking a property investment opportunity, Orchard and Shipman will not only provide a quality service and guarantee you a return on your investment, they will reward you handsomely for your contribution in helping fulfil the social housing demands in the UK.

Orchard and Shipman provide a fully managed lettings service to Landlords and Investors with guaranteed rent, no void periods, no legal fees, no hidden costs, no hassle,  long term leases and protection against tenant damage with regular property inspections for your peace of mind. 





We are experiencing our share of good times at the moment as we enjoy the pleasure and pride which comes from winning an award as well as celebrating our expansion into a new city. All in all, it’s been a good few months for us here at Orchard and Shipman. 


To begin with, we were thrilled to win ‘The Sunday Times Lettings Agency of the Year Award’ for Innovation in recognition of our fantastic Letfirst model. This is our second Innovation award in a year, having received an innovation award from the Chartered Institute of Housing last year.  We are so pleased that Letfirst is receiving so much positive recognition.


The Letfirst model allows us to offer a service which guarantees rent to landlords whilst also making private lets available for tenants without the need for a deposit or rent in advance. This is a huge step forward in the world of letting, as conventional models require a deposit and rent in advance.

Letfirst has been in business for just over three years now and so far we have managed to provide homes for over 1,000 tenants in Edinburgh alone and are continuing to attract new landlords every day so we are confident that this number will keep on growing.

We have had a great response from both landlords and tenants to Letfirst. We believe, it is important to cater to both landlords and tenants and the  ability to guarantee a landlords rent on top of a professional property management service, whilst also giving a tenant relief from having to find a large sum of cash to secure a let in the first place  has created a real buzz in Edinburgh.

Such has been the success in Edinburgh that we are now excited to have opened our second branch in Glasgow.   Glasgow’s private rented market is growing at a pace so we expect Letfirst to be a welcome addition to the lettings market for both landlords and tenants. Hopefully this time next year, there will be a third award with Glasgow’s name on it!
