Why Choose Harry Charles to Find your New Rental?

Finding the perfect rental property in Watford and the surrounding areas can be a challenge when the great properties are snapped up the moment they are marketed. That is why our service is designed to accurately show you the property through our sales pictures and descriptions whilst booking viewings to ensure you see the property quickly.

Our professional and dedicated team are always on hand to support you through the lettings process, the financial checks required and provide any advice you may need on tenancy regulations and rights.

All deposits paid on lettings are securely held independently as part of the DPS (Deposit Protection Service) with the TDS.
