Finding The Right Agent For You
Ensuring you find the right agent for you is vital to guarantee your home is let in a legal way and at the maximum possible value, but also an agent who understands your wants/needs from a potential tenant.
When selecting an agent, ensure they advertise on a good range of property portals, their marketing is quality and in short you can really trust them to look out for you and your home.
A true valuation
Although they want to get the very best possible price for you, the Letting agent needs to value your property sensibly and should be supplying recent comparable evidence to support the valuation.
You do not want your property sitting on the market for months with no interest due to the price being too high, this could have an adverse effect and could result in you missing out on months of rental income.
Choosing a Lettings service
Decide which service option you would like. Generally letting services range from: Let only service , Let and Rent collection service or a full Management where the agent takes ownership of the full management of the home as well as collecting the rent and passing it onto you each month.
Tenants prefer to know their property is being managed by a dedicated agent as it means that any difficult situations will be handled independently. Professional property management often means happier tenants who stay longer.
