I'm a Landlord - should I use a Letting Agent?

Not only can letting Agents provide you with a range of different services, but they can tailor them to meet your requirements as a Landlord. Take a look below at the services available and the benefits of using a Letting Agent.

Expert knowledge.

Whether you're a Landlord with a portfolio of properties or a first-time Landlord, investing time staying up to date with the lettings market and everything that it entails can be a lengthy process; this is where a Letting Agent can be beneficial! A Letting Agent will give guidance & advice to both Tenants and Landlords, which will cover:

• Tenancy agreements
• Landlord responsibilities
• Providing answers to tenancy questions
• Fully understand and provide best practice to both parties

Ability to find reliable tenants through a tenant find service.

As the title suggests, our Letting Agents have the ability to find suitable Tenants through a thorough vetting and referencing procedure. Not only this, but the Tenant find service also takes care of:

• Advertising & marketing (through the website & social media)
• Photography of the property
• Viewings
• Drawing up agreements

Full property management service.

A fully managed service means that Letting Agents take responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the property. This means that a Landlord will not be contacted unless there is an emergency, if the contact is close to renewal and at the end of a tenancy agreement. Our fully managed service includes (but is not limited to):

• Finding suitable Tenants
• Viewings
• Referencing and checks
• Rent collection
• Rent chasing if required
• Property maintenance and repairs
• Notice processing

It's important to note that initial communication is key when it comes to the fully managed service. A Landlord should discuss with their Letting Agent the service they expect as there may be areas that the Landlord might want to cover themselves.
