What does a letting agent do for landlords? +
A letting agent can take care of most of the work of renting out a property. That includes advertising, arranging viewings, finding and vetting tenants, preparing the tenancy paperwork and managing the property. Exactly what's included depends on the agent and the package you choose.
How much do letting agents charge? +
Fees vary with the agent, the location, the property and how much service you need. A tenant-find-only service usually costs less than full management. Comparing a few local agents is the best way to see what's on offer in your area.
What's the difference between tenant-find and full management? +
Tenant-find suits landlords who want to manage the property themselves but need help finding a tenant. The agent advertises the property, arranges viewings, references applicants and sets up the tenancy. With full management, the agent also handles the day-to-day running of the tenancy, such as rent collection, maintenance, inspections and talking to the tenant.
How much rent could I get for my property? +
It depends on the location, the type and size of property, its condition and features, and local demand. A local letting agent can give you a rental valuation based on similar properties and current market conditions.
Can I get a free rental valuation, and do I have to use that agent? +
Yes, we can arrange a free rental valuation with a local letting agent. It's completely free and there's no obligation, so you don't have to go ahead with that agent afterwards.
Will a letting agent carry out tenant checks? +
Most letting agents offer tenant referencing. Depending on the agent, this can cover identity, income, employment, rental history and credit checks. Ask each agent exactly which checks are included.
Will a letting agent deal with maintenance and repairs? +
With a fully managed service, the agent will usually arrange maintenance and repairs for you. Ask how repairs are approved, whether you can set a spending limit, and whether there are extra fees for arranging work.
Can I change letting agents? +
Usually, yes. Before you switch, check your current agreement for notice periods, termination fees and any other conditions
I'm a first-time landlord. Can a letting agent help? +
Yes. An agent can be especially useful when you're new to letting. They can help with your rental valuation, marketing, finding tenants, the tenancy paperwork and ongoing management. You choose how much of the process you hand over.
