MGLS – Michael G. Lewis & Son
Residential Letting and Management Agents
Letting residential property in Swansea since 1966
One of Swansea’s longest established Letting and Property Management Agents
Michael G. Lewis founded the company in 1966 in his name after taking over an established letting and estate agents business. Now virtually retired, he still looks after some of our oldest clients, some of which have been with us since 1970.
To introduce myself:
My name is Rob Lewis, now head the company. I joined my father in 1982 and since brought a new dimension to the business
I was one of the first in the UK to pass the Technical Award in Lettings and Management which is a level 3 qualification.
I have worked closely with City & County of Swansea in relation to the Private Rental Sector and hope that in future Licensing of Letting Agents will become a reality.
I have been a member of the National Association of Estate Agents since 1989, became an Honoured Fellow in 2009 after much commitment to the local South Wales Branch as Chairman and Treasurer. At national level I have been involved with Compliance, being that of an Assistant Business Practice Officer.
For a number of years I was part of the Examinations and Awards Board, and set a paper for the Diploma in Residential Lettings & Management (DipRLM)
Our office is powered by our property management co-ordinator Annette Grinter, who has been with us for the past eight years and looks after the day to day contact with Clients and Tenants.
Having been in the letting business for so many years, we have seen many changes, not only in terms of the growth in the Private Rental Sector here in Swansea, but with the changes in legislation. There are is need to know many property and housing laws if you are to run a lettings business. Many new agents just see the surface.
Letting property is complex from the point that the unwary can easily trip up on legality issues. However, we have attained the knowledge to be able to deal with most situations and are more than able to give advice an all aspects of residential letting.
MGLS – Michael G. Lewis & Son let houses and flats in most parts of Swansea and currently manage properties in areas such as Brynmill, Dunvant, Gower, Killay, Llansamlet, Loughor, Morriston, Mumbles, Newton, SA1, Swansea City Centre, St Thomas, Uplands as well as points in between. We are also able to let and manage Houses in Multiple Occupation properties in the Castle and Uplands wards of Swansea subject to local HMO requirements.
Whether you are a would-be landlord or an existing landlord with a portfolio of properties, we can assist you in finding the right tenant for the property and if you wish we can manage the letting as well.
MGLS believe that it is imperative that any Landlord or Tenant obtains good sound factual advice prior to letting property.
Renting property in Swansea should be made as simple as possible and at MGLS – Michael G. Lewis & Son we aim to do just that!
