Keys collected from wherever they are and delivered to wherever you need them. Reliable, documented, secure - one less logistics headache for busy landlords and agents.
The Problem with Keys
Tenant's vacated. Keys are with the agent in Exeter. You're in Exmouth. Contractor needs them tomorrow morning. How do the keys get from A to B?
💡 Pro tip: Landlords waste hours driving around collecting and dropping keys. For £60, someone else can do that leg work.

What to Expect
Step 1: Book the Collection
Tell me where the keys are, who's handing them over, and where they need to go. We'll agree a time that works for everyone.
Step 2: Collection
I meet whoever's handing over, confirm which keys are which (front, back, garage, shed etc), and sign for them if needed.
Step 3: Delivery
Keys delivered to wherever you've specified - your home, your office, the letting agent, your contractor's hands. Job done.
🔧 DIY Tips
If you're doing your own key logistics, here's how to do it safely:
🔑 Key handover checklist
- Meet in person where possible (not "under the mat")
- Document exactly what keys you're collecting
- Test each key works before accepting them
- Get a receipt or confirmation text
- Label keys immediately (which door, which property)
📝 What to check
- Front door key
- Back door key
- Garage/outbuilding keys
- Window keys (if applicable)
- Meter cupboard keys
- Communal door keys (flats)
- Mailbox keys
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Not checking all keys work before tenant leaves
- Accepting "I think that's all of them"
- No written record of handover
- Keys not labeled (which is which?)
- Leaving keys in "safe" places (they're not safe)
💡 Pro trick: Take a photo of all the keys laid out and labeled. Send it to the person receiving them so they know what to expect. Makes handover smoother.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎯 Timing tip: Schedule key collections for when everyone's available. Nothing worse than the tenant being late or the agent closing early.
Multiple properties? If you've got several tenancy changeovers happening, I can do a collection round - more efficient than individual trips.
Need keys cut? I can collect, get copies cut at the local key cutter, and deliver originals + spares where they need to go.
Exeter student properties? September is crazy for key handovers. Book early if you need collections during changeover period.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need someone to collect keys?
Tenant's moved out but you're stuck at work? Previous owner's in Exeter but you're in London? Contractor needs access but can't get to the agent? I collect the keys and get them where they need to be. Simple logistics that saves you time.
How does the handover work?
I meet whoever's handing over the keys at an agreed time and place. Check which keys are for what (front door, back door, garage etc), document it, and either hold them for you or deliver them to your next location.
Can you collect from letting agents?
Yes - I work with several Exeter letting agents regularly. They hand the keys over during office hours, I deliver them to landlords or contractors. Makes everyone's life easier.
What's your collection area?
Exeter and 30 miles around - so all of Devon basically. Exmouth, Crediton, Tiverton, Dawlish, Newton Abbot. If it's further, give me a call and we'll work something out.
Is it secure?
Yes - I document exactly what keys I'm collecting and from whom, sign for them if needed, and deliver them directly to where they're going. No leaving them under mats or in dodgy key safes.
