Why landlords choose ATLAS
For Landlords
Let Only or Managed — with maintenance handled by people who genuinely understand buildings, not just software. Compliance tracked, inspections done, problems fixed before they grow.
Independent & Local
ATLAS is a standalone Peterborough lettings agency, set up to give landlords the standard of service they'd expect for their own home — not a franchise, not a call centre.
Fully Protected
ARLA Propertymark regulated, with Client Money Protection and redress through The Property Ombudsman — so your rent and deposit funds are properly safeguarded.
Landlord Services
Letting
We advertise your property, find and reference quality tenants, and handle the tenancy paperwork from move-in onward — so you know exactly who's in your property and that it's done properly.
Property Management
Whether you have one property or a whole portfolio, our management service handles the day-to-day — rent collection, inspections, compliance and repairs — so you don't have to.
Responsive Maintenance
Tenants report repairs through our online maintenance portal, with an instant ticket reference and a genuine out-of-hours line for emergencies — issues get seen to before they grow.
Your Letting Journey
Every tenancy starts with our Let Only service. From there, you can choose to hand the ongoing running of the property to our Managed service too — here's exactly where one ends and the other begins.
Prefer to keep it simple? Take our Let Only service on its own and manage the tenancy yourself from move-in — or add Managed Service at any point.
Compliance We Track For You
Letting a property comes with ongoing legal obligations. As part of our Managed Service, we keep track of renewal dates so nothing gets missed:
- Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) — required annually for any property with gas appliances
- Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) — required at least every 5 years
- Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) — required, generally valid for 10 years
- Smoke & carbon monoxide alarms — checked at the start of every tenancy
- Legionella Risk Assessment (LRA) — a legal duty of care for every rented property, assessing the water system for legionella risk; reviewed periodically and whenever the property or its water system changes
- Right to Rent checks — carried out on every tenant before every tenancy
- Selective Licensing — Peterborough City Council has run a Selective Licensing scheme since March 2024, covering designated wards including Bretton, Central, East, Fletton & Stanground, Fletton & Woodston, North, Orton Waterville, Park, Paston & Walton, and Stanground South. We'll check whether your property falls within a licensed area as part of onboarding it.
- Additional HMO Licensing — a separate scheme covering HMOs of 3–4 people across Peterborough, in force from January 2026. If your property is a smaller HMO, we'll confirm whether it needs a licence under this scheme too.
- Renters' Rights Act (RRA) — the biggest shake-up of the private rented sector in a generation, reshaping tenancy types, possession grounds and how rent increases work. We track the changes as they take effect and keep tenancies compliant as the rules land.
General guidance, not legal advice — licensing areas and requirements can change. See peterborough.gov.uk/selective-licensing for the current designated areas, or ask us to check a specific address.
