Rent & Legal Protection
What is rent and legal protection?
Rent and legal protection is a policy that a landlord can have in place that could save them a small fortune if they need to rely upon it. As a landlord it comes as no surprise that the way the legal system works looks more favourably on the tenant than it does them and with that in mind we at Votta feel rent and legal cover is an absolute necessity for anyone renting property in the modern age.
What does it cover?
In purchasing rent and legal cover you get huge peace of mind when renting out your properties. You get cover for legal expenses as standard, rent protection in the event of a tenant defaulting and any other legal costs you may face in order to get possession such as costs for eviction. Its also another tax deductible allowance so financially it makes a lot of sense.
Why should I take out rent and legal cover?
Forgetting Covid 19, A tenant could default for a number of reasons whether it be losing a job, ill health or quite simply they have become difficult and feel that the contractual obligation they have signed within their tenancy agreement isn’t a priority anymore. whatever the reason you as a landlord need to have your ducks lined up because the cost of eviction, coupled with the time it takes to reach court and the arrears themselves could mount up into the thousands. Many landlords over the years have been financially decimated due to the actions of a tenant, therefore the saving grace in the the potential eventuality of a tenant defaulting gets taken under the wing of your rent and legal policy and mitigates that loss exponentially. The cost of a rent and legal policy for the entire year in most cases is a fraction of the monthly rent so the real question is not can you afford to have it but can you afford not to?
What if i risk it and go without?
You could do and it may all work out just fine but Imagine having to consult a solicitor to get possession of your property on your own, then getting the necessary paperwork together required by them to act on your behalf, then covering the cost for each consultation as well as the work itself. Already you are a few hundred pounds out of pocket, that’s before further losses of rent and the whole eviction process. With rent and legal cover this is all encapsulated by your policy with the agent who will handle the paperwork and liaise with the appointed legal representative on your behalf.
For further information on rent and legal cover please do speak with one of the team at Votta. Email Lettings@votta.co.uk or call 01843 262045 option 2.

We had a great experience with Courtney and the team at Votta Sales & Lettings. From start to finish, Courtney was professional, responsive, and genuinely supportive throughout the whole process. He made everything clear and stress-free, and was always happy to answer our questions.
We really appreciated his patience and attention to detail, and we felt well looked after as a family. It was a pleasure working with him, and we’re very happy in our new home.
Highly recommend Courtney and Votta Sales & Lettings to anyone looking for a smooth and reliable service.

Votta maintained a smooth, straightforward, and easy experience throughout the process of finding my new home. Courtney in particular was super helpful, friendly, and honest in his approach. While I have no intention of moving again any time soon thanks to their work, I would absolutely use Votta again if/when the time comes.

Having been a tenant of this company for over 3 years, I have always received excellent customer service. All the staff I have dealt with have been friendly and professional with any problems sorted out in a timely manner. Most recently, the service from both Courtney and Jade has been outstanding. Their communication has always been exemplary and their friendliness greatly appreciated. Moving house is always stressful, and moving over 100 miles away makes it more so, but they both helped to make my moving out process simple and stress free. I would not hesitate to recommend Votta to any tenant looking for a property

It was a pleasure dealing with Courtney at Votta sales as there were several hiccups along the way after l made my offer, until the purchase completion.
Courtney went above and beyond with his service and was able to hold everything together when there were delays with solicitors. Nothing was too much trouble for which l am very appreciative of.
Many thanks Courtney.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Courtney. His communication was exceptional from start to finish—prompt, clear, and always keeping me in the loop. They took the time to understand my needs, answered all my questions with patience and expertise, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I couldn’t have asked for a better agent to guide me through renting out my home. Highly recommend Courtney for anyone looking for a professional who truly excels at staying connected and making you feel valued.

I picked up my keys from Courtney at Votta just over a week ago now. I can not recommend him and this company enough. I have come up against many hurdles trying to find a property to rent over the last few months, however Courtney went above and beyond to do everything he could to help me secure my home and I couldn't be happier. Professional, helpful and friendly!

I had a fantastic experience with this letting agency, especially thanks to Courtney. From start to finish, every aspect of the process was handled brilliantly. Courtney was professional, friendly, and genuinely went the extra mile to make everything run smoothly. He kept me well-informed, was always approachable, and made what could have been a stressful process feel super easy, not to mention the extremely quick turnaround.
On top of being excellent at his job, he’s approachable, reliable, and has been a pleasure to deal with. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough, along with Votta Sales & Lettings.

Courtney was great from the very start. The first phone call to make enquiries about the property, especially when it returned on the market after initially being taken. He was super friendly in all phone calls, making the whole canopy process extremely easy and helped me along the way when I had any difficulties. From the check in phone calls until the day I received the keys. My service at votta lettings was excellent and I'm looking forward to them being my agents moving forward and anticipate a happy future in my new home!

Votta sold our house but we were having a few problems with how long everything was taking. Spoke with Courtney and he took care of everything. He was fantastic with sorting any problems we were having. Can’t recommend this guy enough. Very approachable and will help with absolutely everything. Thanks to him we have relocated up country and my 81 year old mum is living her best life!

There were a couple of hiccups at the beginning of the tenancy and Courtney kept me informed at every step, sorting things out immediately. I can confidently recommend Votta and am reassured that they will be managing the tenancy.

As landlords we have had unhappy endings with several of our previous tenants. We therefore transferred to Votta. Their systems and knowledge are superb. They demand maximum cooperation from tenants and landlords which is the basis for good relationships and minimal disagreements. David and Kylie are very energetic and they anticipate potential problems so they don't trip us up. We had new tenants confirmed within 2 weeks of an impressive sales launch. You may or may not have heard of Votta. They are good.

My partner and I had to move within a short space of time. We found a property, and it was under Votta sales and lettings agency. We were greeted with a smiley, and friendly face, Kylie. She was very professional, and understanding. She took our needs seriously, and helped us with the application process. We got the place and Kylie gave us a lovely moving in card. We now deal with Kylie regularly at the moment due to maintenance. She always makes herself available for our needs and answers all of our questions. We are very grateful to be renting under Votta.

As first-time sellers, we were understandably nervous about putting our house on the market.
However, Votta completely exceeded our expectations, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
From the initial consultation with David, he, Kylie and the team put us at ease. Their friendly and honest nature felt more like supportive friends guiding us and explaining every step through the process.
They offered practical advice on small changes we could make to maximize our home's appeal, drawing on their expertise and helpful resources, such as their detailed blog on staging for photos.
They patiently answered every question we had, no matter how trivial they might have seemed (and there were many!), making us feel comfortable and confident.
We never felt like just a number; they treated us like valued clients and were genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best possible outcome. It felt like they were truly right there with us, every step of the way.
If you're looking for an estate agency that provides personalized support and makes you feel like you're in safe hands, we wholeheartedly recommend Votta.

We were were very happy in all of our dealings with Votta from viewing (on Stephen's day off) to contracts, moving in information package and follow up support. They found us a beautiful property that we hope to be in a for a few years.
Thank you Stephen and Sam and all the team

Stephen was incredible, he was so helpful and considerate, he eased any anxiety we had being first time renters! Samantha is absolutely amazing, any concerns, queries or issues you have she is always there to help and gets things sorted so well, she always goes above and beyond! Could not fault votta or the service they provide!

I originally gave a simple one star review with no description as it's very difficult to summarise all the issues my family had with the property Votta rented to us.
To break it down:
There was an electrical fire caused by a leak.
The boiler broke down about a week into living at the property.
A radiator burst.
The shower didn't have hot water for months.
The shower leaked and destroyed the wall below.
The paintwork done prior to moving in left paint droplets everywhere.
It took them over a week to find alternative accommodation for us after the fire.
They promised us they would pay for a cattery for our cats post fire and then went back on this.
Anyway the owner of Votta pathetically asked me to change my review to five stars and post this review...
Yeah his head is very far up his rear end.
"My family and I moved into our house in Dover earlier this year and we were plagued with issues. This property had never been rented before and since moving in there were numerous repairs that cropped up. Despite the issues we had we could not fault the team at Votta, from the moment Stephen showed us the property through to move in, especially Samantha who went above and beyond to not only respond to every email and phone call within a timely manner but when a fire broke out in the house she was on hand to contact the landlord and contractors to arrange repairs as soon as possible and not only that, helped us get the accommodation for my family and my pets. This is something no agent is contracted to do for tenants but they did it not only on our behalf but the behalf of the landlord who wasn’t responsive enough by our standards. We admit there were occasions where we were so frustrated by the situation and Samantha took the brunt of that but maintained professionalism at all times despite the anxiety we undoubtedly caused her, however she put us above any other tenant or landlord on their books and selflessly spent hours on the phone to the insurance company, landlords, contractors and our temporary accommodation. There was nothing more we could have asked of Samantha in a time that was incredibly stressful for everyone.”

Had a wonderful experience looking for my current place with the help of Stephen.

An absolutely amazing service from the team, initially spoke to Beth about having a house valuation, she was very helpful and quickly set up an appointment for me with Paul. Paul was easy to talk to and answered lots of my questions with in depth knowledge. Like he promised he emailed me a copy of the valuation later the same day. Quite pleased with how efficient and lovely they all were.

We had already let a property with David Votta when he was working in a local agency and were very impressed the service he provided.
We were aware that he had started his own agency, so when we needed a letting agent we went straight to Votta Sales and Lettings. They provide a first class service, explaining how they will market the property , their fees and vetting processes. They move fast, getting the property marketed with stunning photos and full description. They quickly found the perfect tenants for our properties. The inventory they provide is extensive leaving no doubt as to the condition of the property when the tenants take possession. The whole process when letting a property with Votta Sales and Lettings is professional and stress free from start to finish.

Of all the Estate agents I have been dealing with on my journey to exchange and completion, I felt that for once we were dealing with a candid and honest company which was happy to sail against the usual flow of estate agents. Beth was professional and ready to hear all aspects of my search for a home. She deal with my offer immediately and as soon as it was accepted stopped viewing and made me feel secure. As the paperwork and bits dragged on she contacted me weekly! Even if it was to say not much has happened. It makes a buyer feel part of the sale. All done now thank you Bethany and Paul.

I cannot thank Stephen enough for all of his help in the last few weeks in renting out my property.
From start to finish, Stephen hit the ground running,working tirelessly with excellent communication along the way, getting above market rate through his excellent negotiation skills whilst also making the process very seamless which I appreciated. Stephen is very honest and something every landlord appreciates knowing that their property manager has their best interests in mind.
I highly recommend Stephen to any investor looking at seeking a solid, professional property manager and protecting their investment.

When we were looking to sell our property, we reached out to 3 different estate agents in the local area. We met Paul from Votta and were really impressed with his honesty and friendliness. He wasn’t pushy (unlike some of the other agents) and was realistic in the pricing of our house.
Paul arranged for photos to be taken quickly after our initial meeting and a few days later we had sold our house. Paul was extremely flexible when it came to arranging phone calls and visits to the property - as we both work late we thought we would have to restrict everything to weekends but Paul made everything fit with our work schedules during the week. Nothing seemed like too much trouble.
Our sale ended up taking a lot longer than needed but throughout the whole process, Paul was brilliant. We definitely made the right choice in going with Votta and would 100% recommend them. Thank you so much Paul!

Myself and my partner have recently let a property with Votta Lettings, and there is not one constructive thing to say. We were lead through the process by Stephen. He is always on the ball, organised and super friendly, and always made time for us despite our busy work schedules. Was always a joy to hear from him. Stephens professionalism is also a reflection of the whole team. We are still in the moving-in stage and property manager Samantha has been very helpful with our questions with quick response times and quick results. She got in touch very early on, made sure we were okay and is always keeping us informed.
This team proves to be very reliable and we want to thank you for all your help so far.

As it was my very first time moving into my own place, Stephan really made it less stressful for me. Stephan answered any questions I had to his absolute best knowledge and to keep my mind at ease. Kept me updated with the process of my references. Couldn’t of asked for a more professional experience. 🙂

A really good experience with with the move, we viewed a few flats with Votta. Stephen Wheeler was a great estate agent to work with to find such a great flat to fit everything we needed. I would recommend Votta Estate agents. Stephen always responded to emails, phone calls and any query’s in good time. I work Monday to Friday and found it difficult to fit in times to view flats and Stephen was really accommodating of this. He was very professional and made the move very smooth. Very happy to have moved with the support of Votta.

Buying our home through Paul was as stress free as buying a house can be. He kept us updated and chased things when required, and always in a friendly and helpful manner. I would happily use Votta to buy or sell property in the future

I know I am a day early to getting into our new house, but I want to say a massive thank you to Paul. He has been absolutely amazing from the day he came and gave our house a valuation to the day we exchanged contracts. Nothing has ever been too much trouble even though it has probably been the busiest time of his life getting homes sold and completed before the stamp duty rise. He made us laugh from day 1 and made us feel comfortable and at ease. Whatever problems we have had along the way he has sorted or put our minds at rest within 24hrs. Tomorrow we get our dream home and say goodbye to our home that we have made some amazing memories. Thank you so so much Paul, we honestly appreciate everything you have done. Your amazing at your job keep up the good work and see you tomorrow ????.

I cannot praise this company enough. They worked tirelessly as a team through the sale and conveyancing of our property from beginning to end. Nothing is too much trouble, always at the end of the phone going way over and above to make the journey as easy as possible. They actually performed better than any solicitor to reach completion. Cannot thank Paul and his team enough, I will recommend and use again in the future.

As a first time buyer, I had no idea what I was doing. Paul and his wife at Votta made the whole process straight forward and they were so positive and kind that I felt reasonably relaxed throughout. I can't thank them enough! Highly recommend Votta, great agents, you will feel relieved in using them!

Paul was so professional and nothing was too much bother for him to find out or chase. He made contact regularly, liaising with my selling agent and keeping me informed with up dates with purchase.
Paul was always cheerful and positive, even at the stressful moments and he handled the situation in a calm, polite snd effective manner.
I would really recommend using this agent.. they care about the person, supporting and guiding through what is considered to be one of the most stressful events one would experience in life.
Thank you so much Paul for your support and fir making the journey a more pleasant experience.

Stephen was very professional, helping us knowing we hadn’t rented before. He was patient and answered all our questions competently. Stephen was easy to talk too and he enabled us to find a wonderful home which we are now enjoying. Thank you Stephen and I would certainly be recommending you and Votta for your excellent service.

After being turned down by so many other companies due to my partner being deployed we thought there was no hope in finding our first home … Until we met Stephen! He was the light at the end of our tunnel and made the entire process easy and flexible around us!
From the viewing to signing the last piece of paper work it was simple and easy … Stephen was there every step of the way and answering my endless questions without a fault.
I would highly recommend Votta sales company and working with Stephen especially if you are finding your first home!

I have recently used Votta Sales and Lettings to acquire a flat to rent and the experience was made extremely easy, swift and stress free. I met Stephen at the flat, he showed me around, gave me all the info I needed and 2 weeks later he handed me the keys. Throughout the whole process he was easy to get ahold of, dealt personally with every query and phone call or email, and was overall just a lovely person to deal with. 100% would use Votta for any future property ventures.

From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. Not only was Mr. Wheeler professional but we found him nice, friendly and so easy to talk to. At a point it started feeling like we've known him for ages. He made us very comfortable from day one up to the point of moving into the property. We are happy to have worked with Stephen in this process and will recommend him and Votta Sales and Lettings any time, any day. Thanks

Stephen was excellent throughout our move. I’ve since recommended Votta to several friends.
When we viewed our property we loved it straight away but could also tell we were in good hands with finally an honest and professional estate agent. You can’t even compare other local big name estate agents to the experience you have with Votta.
Everything they’ve done so far has been perfect and the property we’ve moved into is of really good rental standards. (It actually looked better in person than in the photos).
On the day of our move we had a few problems which were managed under pressure very very well by Stephen and the team. We were extremely stressed about getting the keys on time but they ensured this happened.
Couldn’t recommend more! Best customer service from an estate agent we’ve had in 6 years of renting.

As a first-time buyer, I would highly recommend Votta, they made the process far less daunting/stressful than it could have been, especially when I had issues during the process (unrelated to Votta). They're a friendly and responsive company with fantastic customer service. Paul is very approachable, easy to contact and worked around my schedule where possible. He has the patience of a saint, never making me feel uncomfortable when asking him multiple questions and always seeking an answer in a timely manner. He gave advice where appropriate but never in a way that felt like he was pressure selling. I would absolutely recommend using Votta to friends or family!

Our buying process was smooth from start to finish. We are first time buyers and couldn’t have asked for a better estate agent. Really friendly and accommodating! Would definitely recommend and use in future if we ever needed!

Paul quickly visited the property after I contacted him about putting it on the market. The valuation and advertising was spot on. Viewings were carried out effectively and covid safely. He fed back after each visit and discussed offers made honestly. Things moved to completion efficiently. He worked well with the solicitor when needed. Great personality.

We sold our property last August with Votta, from the very start Paul was very professional, helpful and a pleasure to deal with. We had numerous issues with our buyer and every step of the way Paul was exceptional. He answered every query extremely quickly and never once made us feel like we were a burden. He went above and beyond in the last few weeks leading upto completing, there is no way we would of completed in time if it hadn't been for his, hard work and dedication. I would absolutely recommend Paul and his team to anyone.

What a great estate agents. Really honest and competent. Wouldn't use any other agents but these now. Paul was a star, he made sure we only had real buyers view so we weren't wasting our time and never rushed a viewing. We were made to feel valued as customers and not just a property with a commission at the end. Great service from start to end.

A genuinely open and honest estate agency who care. We started the sale process with a different agent and the difference in service when we moved to Votta was huge. Votta take the time and patience to get things right. They only allow buyers to view if they are ‘ready to go’ and don’t rush the viewings.
Anyone looking for a competent, knowledgeable and honest team to walk them through a sales or buying process will be hard pushed to find another agent that match Votta.
Thank you!

Purchased a property through Votta and the service was amazing! Very professional and efficient at all times and Paul was excellent in responding to queries and chasing solicitors when needed always going over and beyond. The service received was faultless and I couldn't of wished for a better experience.

David and Lisa at Votta lettings are brilliant. As far as letting agents go, this agency is like no other. They listen, they care and they resolve issues. I can't recommend them highly enough. You will be in safe and caring hands if you rent via Votta.

We were very impressed with how efficient Steven was in dealing with our enquiries. He made the process an easy and enjoyable experience. Nothing was too much trouble. Steven remained professional but delivered a personable service and we really felt that he understood what we were looking for in a property. We could not be happier with the flat we are in and we could not be more grateful to Votta. Thank you!

We had a great experience with Votta, especially thanks to Stephen. He went above and beyond and got us our flat relatively quickly in a difficult time to rent. He was a lovely guy and really provided a great and personal service, really making you feel like you’re his only clients. Thanks again, we’re very happy in our new home, made as stress free as possible by your help!

We purchased our first home through Votta and the service we received was efficient and professional. Calls and messages were responded to efficiently and they made every effort to keep us updated on our purchase and chase up solicitors when it was needed. They made the process as smooth and as easy as can be. 100% would recommend.
