For Landlords
Evalon Estates primarily uses OpenRent and OnTheMarket, alongside social media advertising on Instagram and Facebook to look for tenants. Properties are also added to our 'To Let' page on our website here.
Yes. We keep track of gas, electric and energy certificates for all of our properties. We also carry out right to rent checks, use a deposit protection scheme(DPS), and take care of repairs and safety requirements within the property, among many other responsibilities.
We have also adjusted our services according to the new legislation changes for lettings for May 2026, regarding greater rental regulation.
The Renters’ Rights Act introduced significant changes to the private rented sector in England from 1 May 2026. These include the abolition of Section 21 no-fault evictions, the move from fixed-term ASTs to rolling periodic tenancies, new rules around rent increases, stronger protections for tenants and changes to the possession process.
As a professional lettings and property management company, we help landlords navigate these changes and ensure the correct procedures and documentation are followed throughout the tenancy. We can also assist with rent collection, arrears, tenancy management, compliance and possession proceedings where required.
If you would like a more detailed breakdown of this information, please redirect yourself to the government website here.
Currently, our properties cover the areas of Gravesend, Northfleet, Rochester, Ebbsfleet and Dartford, however we are always looking to expand our portfolio further. Our listings are always added to our Instagram page (@evalonestates), follow to stay updated.
Our full management service provides landlords with complete support throughout the tenancy, giving you peace of mind while we take care of the day-to-day management of your property. This includes arranging any necessary works through our trusted network of local tradesmen, handling tenancy renewals, providing monthly and annual income statements, assisting with the eviction process where required, and providing access to our 24-hour communication line for urgent tenant or property matters.
Our partial management service(rent collection) allows landlords to retain greater involvement while we take care of selected aspects of the tenancy.

For Tenants
Viewings are most commonly arranged via e-mail (lettings@evalonestates.com), or via the platforms OpenRent and OnTheMarket. We are available for viewings Monday-Friday 9:30am-4:45pm and Saturday 10am-2pm.
Our standard deposit is 5 weeks of rent, as per the Renters' Rights Act, and is kept in a Deposit Protection Scheme (DPS). The first rental payment is usually paid before you move into the property. We will confirm the exact amount due and payment deadline before your tenancy begins.
Once viewings have been done, we send forward a tenant application form to the prospective tenants. Once the tenant has been chosen, we need to confirm identity, right to rent and financial circumstances. We ask that they provide proof of Right to Rent in the UK, a copy of a valid form of ID (passports, drivers licence), proof of current address, and recent payslips as proof of income.
Maintenances issues are reported directly to us if the property is under our full management. If not, the landlord will provide you with contact details for maintenance issues. The contact details for emergency and maintenance issues will always be highlighted in your contract, which is signed before you begin your tenancy and handed the keys.
Yes, and this is limited to once a year to match the market rate as according to section 13 of the Housing Act 1988. You will receive a written notice of the proposed rent increase at least 2 months in advance.
