About Us
Originally founded in 2008 in St Leonards-on-Sea by Jennifer Melvina Allen, JMA Lettings was created with a passion for providing a more personal, high-quality approach to property management in our seaside community. Since 2015, under the ownership of Liza, JMA Lettings has continued to uphold its founding values while bringing a fresh perspective focused on transparency, trust, and genuine care.
As a dedicated local team, we understand the unique needs of the Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill, and 1066 area. Liza and her team are committed to offering a personalised service that puts people first, managing each property with exceptional attention to detail and a caring touch.
Meet the Team
Meet Liza
Company Director
Liza has lived in the local area all her life and has around 25 years’ experience as a landlord. Having also worked for a large estate agent in Hastings and Bexhill, she understands what matters to landlords and tenants.
She first met JMA’s founder, Jennifer Melvina Allen, through a business networking group in Hastings and took over the business in 2015.
Liza is involved in the day-to-day work, personally visiting every property JMA lets or manages and carrying out viewings herself. She believes knowing the property and taking time to get to know people makes a difference.
Her approach is straightforward: give honest advice, take care when choosing tenants and keep people informed. She wants landlords to feel comfortable asking questions and confident that their property is being looked after.
Meet Sarah
Originally from Birmingham, Sarah has lived in Oxford, London, Spain and has lived in Hastings/ St Leonards since 2005.
She has worked in lots of different industries including retail, recruitment, music industry, healthcare and now property. She brings with her a wealth of experience in sales, customer services, administration, management, HR and touch of creativity!
She’s had a passion for property for many years and is absorbing as much knowledge as possible within the property lettings industry.
Sarah’s hobby is photography and is Mum to Sadie & Teddy and Dog Mum to Libby – all of which keep her very busy in what spare time she has in her very active and busy life in wonderful St. Leonards On Sea!

Emma Cave, Tenant
I’ve been letting property for several years and previously used a different managing agent. They weren’t supportive of me. I reached out to Liza and we instantly clicked…the service her and Sarah provide is unlike I’ve experienced before.
I know my property is in safe hands.
Louise Evans, Landlord
Finding a lettings company that cares for our properties and tenants as we would ourselves has been a challenge. However, we found exactly that with JMA Lettings.
Liza and Sarah consistently go above and beyond in their roles. Their dedication and professionalism have provided us with peace of mind and confidence in their services.
