Seven benefits of using a letting agency

Being a landlord isn’t easy. There’s a lot of responsibility that falls your way and it isn’t just a case of watching the rent roll in. Renting property is a time consuming experience and enlisting the help of a letting agency can help save you both time and money. Here’s how we can help make renting out your property easier for you.

Finding a tenant quickly

Finding tenants for your property isn’t always the easiest and you’re more likely to get your property rented quickly when enlisting our help. We recently came number one on Rightmove for getting properties rented as quickly as possible, with an average time of just one day.

Vetting procedure

We’ve been in the letting industry for over 10 years, so we know all the signs of a good and a bad tenant. So as well as getting your property rented quickly, we also try to get the right person through the door by conducting a tenant check on every individual applying to rent your property. We know it doesn’t always work out for one reason or another, so we have a strict notice period that we adhere to for any tenant that we find to be unsatisfactory.

Legislation

We’re on top of all property and tenancy legislation. It’s what we know best. If something changes in legislation, we’re the first to know about it. We’re experts in the field and have a real passion for letting so you can have peace of mind knowing that the agreement between you and your tenant is watertight. We can also help advise on any cover you might need, such as landlord insurance.

Property checks

It’s recommended that your property is checked on a regular basis to ensure that it doesn’t have any damages. If any damages are found on a check, we will be able to fix them quickly to avoid any further longstanding problems. As part of our service to you, we check your property every three months for the first year, and every six months after that.

Acting as a buffer

The tenant/landlord relationship can become quite strained if something is to go wrong. By enlisting the help of The Letting Co, we can act as a buffer and help to get across your points clearly and succinctly and act as the middle man in the event of any disagreements.

Emergency response

We’ve all been there - when the boiler breaks in the middle of the night or the tap springs a leak. If this happens in your tenant’s house, it’s your responsibility to fix it. Even if it happens at 2 o’clock in the morning. We offer an emergency contact to all our tenants that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We know the importance of getting the heating on, or stopping that leak, so we’re on hand at all time with a team of professionals in case of emergency.

Peace of mind

We give you peace of mind. Using our services can really help if you have plans of growing your property portfolio or already have a number of houses. Even if you only have one property, knowing it’s being managed by professionals means you are in a position to potentially increase your number of properties in the future.

We get excellent feedback from landlords who use our service, who say we take the stress out of handling their properties. Why not give us a call today to discuss how we could help you too?
