About Us
Let’s keep this simple.
You’ve got a property. Or you’re looking for one. Either way, you’re not here for poetry, long-winded waffle, or promises that vanish the moment you hang up the phone.
You want results. You want rent paid on time. You want tenants who don’t treat your property like a war zone. You want a team that knows how to take care of business, so you don’t have to chase after agents who disappear faster than your money on payday.
That’s where we come in.
We’re PL Lettings London.
We know the UK property lettings business inside out. We’ve dealt with HMO licensing headaches, last-minute Section 21 notices, tenants running rent arrears right before quarter-end, managing agents who ghost landlords for weeks, and properties sitting empty while “viewings” mysteriously go unbooked.
Sound familiar? Thought so.
That’s why we built this service—to handle the issues before they become problems. We don’t just list your property and wait. We actively manage, source, and place. No fluff. Just pure lettings management that delivers rent on time, properties tenanted quickly, and landlords left with more time and less grief.
Where This All Started
It wasn’t born in a conference room with whiteboards and buzzwords. It started the old-fashioned way—by doing the work. By picking up the phone when others wouldn’t. By showing up when others ducked out. By making things run smooth without all the drama.
Over the years, we’ve helped landlords who were fed up, investors who’d had enough of overpromising agents, and tenants who just wanted a place that felt like home without the circus act.
Meet the Brains Behind the Operation
Our team doesn’t just talk lettings—they’ve lived it, breathed it, and been knee-deep in everything from rent-to-rent negotiations to full HMO conversions and high-yield property acquisition.
This is who’s behind the results.
Charles Whitehead – Head of Property Investment
Over 14 years in the trenches of UK property investment. Charles has guided everyone from first-time landlords in Croydon to international portfolio builders targeting high-yield buy-to-lets. He knows BMV deals, HMO structuring, and how to extract profit from underperforming properties.
Key Focus:
- Below Market Value (BMV) sourcing
- High-yield investment strategies
- Portfolio development (UK & international)
- Luxury refurb and rental uplift projects
If you’re tired of theory and want practical solutions that actually raise your monthly cash flow—Charles is your man.
Jillian – Lettings Advisor & Landlord Support
Jillian blends practical property experience with solid lettings know-how. She’s walked hundreds of landlords through rent pricing, tenant fit, deposit protection, and letting compliance—without the agency fluff.
What she’s sharp at:
- Tenant profiling that prevents arrears
- Helping new landlords avoid costly first-time errors
- Compliance without jargon
- Making sure your rental income flows, not trickles
She talks straight and handles lettings like a business—because that’s what it is.
Deepak Shukla – Founder
Deepak built this business to fix what most letting agents get wrong: accountability, consistency, and results. He’s the reason everything we do works like clockwork—because systems, follow-through, and service matter more than slogans.
What We Handle (And How We Actually Do It Right)
Here’s what we do—and why we do it better than most:
Full Lettings Management
Letting a flat or house isn’t just about uploading it to Rightmove. We manage listings, vetting, referencing, deposit protection (DPS compliance), and rent collection. We track arrears, initiate notices if needed, and liaise with tenants professionally but firmly.
Rent Collection & Arrears Control
We monitor payment cycles, reconcile income, and act immediately on late payments. Our rent collection isn’t passive—it’s audited and enforced. You get statements, not stories.
HMO Management
Whether it’s selective licensing in Croydon or additional licensing in Camden, we handle compliance, layout planning, fire doors, interlinked alarms, and tenant rotations. No fines. No stress.
AST, Section 8/21 & Legal Compliance
From issuing correct Prescribed Information to managing end-of-tenancy inspections and disputes via TDS or DPS—our legal compliance is bulletproof. Landlords sleep easy when we’re on it.
Tenant Matching & Viewings
We don’t show your property to just anyone. Our viewings are pre-qualified, our scripts are tested, and our conversion rates speak for themselves.
Maintenance Coordination
We don’t ping you at 2am for a lightbulb change. We manage certified contractors, obtain quotes, and only flag serious issues to you with a solution attached.

FAQs
How do you handle rent arrears?
Arrears are tracked from Day 1. We issue 7-day notices immediately, follow up with legal pre-action protocols, and coordinate with solicitors if escalation is needed. No waiting around.
What’s your referencing process?
We use multi-layer referencing—ID verification, credit history, employment checks, landlord references, affordability assessments, and in cases of borderline tenants, a guarantor or rent insurance requirement.
Do you register deposits?
Yes, via the DPS (Deposit Protection Service), within the legal timeframe. We also issue Prescribed Information and manage any disputes at tenancy end.
Can you manage licensing and HMO compliance?
Absolutely. We handle licensing applications, property layouts, fire safety planning, council inspections, and even deal with the lovely folks at Environmental Health if needed.
How fast can you let my property?
Average time to tenancy is 7-10 days from listing. We run pre-listing tenant queues and use targeted marketing—not just a generic portal upload.
Do you handle inventories and inspections?
Yes. Professional, dated, photo-backed inventories with regular inspections during tenancy. This helps you recover damages and proves your compliance in dispute cases.
