Celebrating 20 Years of First 4 Lettings!

This year marks a very special milestone for First 4 Lettings – we are celebrating 20 incredible years of helping people find their perfect homes. From our humble beginnings to becoming a trusted name in property management and lettings, it’s been an amazing journey, and we couldn’t have done it without our tenants, landlords, and our dedicated team.

A Journey Through Two Decades

Since opening our doors in 2006, our mission has always been simple: to provide a personal, professional, and stress-free lettings experience. Over the past 20 years, we’ve helped thousands of tenants move into homes they love and supported landlords in maximising their property investments.

We’ve seen the market evolve, navigated changes in legislation, and grown alongside the communities we serve – all while keeping our focus firmly on people. Our ethos has never changed: putting relationships first and treating every client like a member of the First 4 Lettings family.

Looking Back with Pride

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re proud of what we’ve achieved:

  • Thousands of successful tenancies managed with care and attention.

  • Strong relationships with landlords and tenants alike.

  • A growing team of passionate professionals dedicated to excellence.

We’ve also embraced small but meaningful innovations over the years to make the lettings process smoother and more transparent – always with the goal of making life easier for our clients. But at the heart of it all, it’s always been about people – the conversations, the smiles, and the peace of mind we provide.

Looking Forward to the Future

While 20 years is a huge achievement, it’s only the beginning. The property market will continue to evolve, and we’re committed to adapting, improving, and expanding our services to meet the needs of our clients. Our focus remains the same: ensuring a smooth, reliable, and professional lettings experience for everyone.

Thank You

To our tenants, landlords, and team members – thank you for being part of our journey. Your trust, support, and feedback have shaped First 4 Lettings into what it is today. We’re excited about the next chapter and can’t wait to continue helping people find their perfect homes for many more years to come.

Here’s to 20 years of First 4 Lettings – and to many more!
