Your property.
Properly looked after.
Considered lettings advice for landlords across Chelmsford and Mid Essex — from first valuation to finding tenants you’ll be glad to have.
Letting a property is about trust. Ours is earned locally.
Whether you’re letting a much-loved former home or building a portfolio, handing your property to someone else is a decision built on confidence. Our role is to earn it — with honest advice, careful presentation and tenants chosen with your property in mind.
As an independent agency rooted in Chelmsford since 1924, we know the neighbourhoods, the demand and the details that shape a successful let here. That knowledge guides every recommendation we make.
A considered start.
A successful let begins well before the first viewing. We take time to understand your property and your priorities, then advise on presentation, positioning and the rent it could realistically achieve — so the right tenants see it at its best from day one.
Clear, attractive marketing follows: photography and descriptions that do your property justice, shared with people actively looking in the area.
Four steps. One familiar team.
Rental appraisal
We visit your property, listen to your plans and give an honest view of its place in the local rental market.
Preparation & presentation
We talk through how to present your property at its best, so it appeals to the right tenants from the first photograph.
Finding the right tenants
We market your property, arrange viewings and help you consider each applicant carefully — not just quickly.
Tenancy & beyond
Once your tenants are in place, we remain at the end of the phone for as long as you need us.
Generations of Chelmsford landlords have trusted Balch with their properties. A century on, that trust is still built the same way — personally, professionally, and one conversation at a time.
