Ask the Agent
As a landlord, you will sometimes have questions that are not directly covered here on our website or in our blogs.
A good letting agent takes full control of managing all aspects of letting your property, including tenant finding, rent collection, compliance, and maintaining the condition of the property.
When problems occur with your rental property, they are usually very expensive to resolve. Choosing the right letting agent will significantly reduce the potential for problems. There are over 150 individual laws and regulations that must be complied with when you let your property.
- Agents with broad experience can advise on many aspects of property investment and market intelligence.
- Your property will be advertised more widely and on major portals.
- Experienced letting agents have finely tuned systems and processes for identifying and selecting the most suitable tenants.
- A letting agent will provide protection for you and your property through compliance, inspections, and insurance policies.
- Agents can advise on realistic expectations of rents and likely expenses.
- Your letting agent will ensure your property is well maintained and in good condition, reducing your expenditure and preserving the value of your property.

Nothing in life is certain, and problems will occur from time to time with properties and tenants. A proactive letting agent will look after your property correctly, problems will be identified and handled early, and financial losses minimised or avoided. If your agent offers rent and legal protection cover, this will provide an additional safety net.
No landlord wants a vacant rental property. Your letting agent will attract more potential tenants by effectively marketing on major portals and local platforms. However, there are several factors that will determine the time taken to find tenants:
- Location of the property (desirable, accessible, convenient etc)
- Quality, appearance, and presentation of property
- Effectiveness of vetting processes
- Experience in identifying favourable 'characteristics' of a good tenant.
Having a little patience and allowing your letting agent the time to find 'the right' tenant will pay dividends by avoiding possible future problems
