Why do I need LettingAgent.com?
Today’s tenants should be better off than ever. The number of private landlords in Britain has exploded as the buy-to-let revolution has developed. So there should be a huge number of extra properties available to choose from. This extra supply should also help keep rents reasonable and improve the overall standard of accommodation as landlords compete for the best tenants. New rules and regulations should also ensure that properties are safer and smarter than ever before. And they should also mean landlords have to be fairer and more consistent in the way that they deal with you. Unfortunately it is still possible to end up renting from someone who hasn’t woken up to all these changes.
If so there may be no guarantees that your property will comply with all the new rules on safety. You may not get a proper legal agreement to sign so you won’t know exactly what might happen if your landlord wants the property back. You may not have anyone to contact if things go wrong and may be forced to pay for emergency repairs out of your own pocket and then try and have the money refunded. And throughout all of this you may have no-one you can turn to for help or advice.
Finding the right agent.
Renting through a decent lettings agent should help solve most of these problems. The agent is there to police the quality and safety of the property and to handle and pay for routine and emergency repairs. They should also know what is fair and reasonable when you move on and need your deposit returned. The problem, as ever, is finding the right agent. A small scale player may not have that large a selection of properties on its books, so you won’t get much choice. Expensive agents may persuade landlords to charge above average rents so you won’t get value for money as a tenant. And inexperienced or smaller operators may not be able to provide the quality support you may require.
LettingAgent.com is designed to overcome each of these potential problems. Its association with Landlord Mortgages, one of Britain’s biggest buy-to-let brokers, gives it access to a vast number of high quality properties. That means everything from family homes in the suburbs to flash apartments in city centres.
As a potential tenant you can choose between properties by using the company’s free, centralised telephone and internet operations. And you then get traditional, personal service with accompanied viewings to any properties you are interested in.
We’re here to help.
If you like the property you see, you will then get proper support. You won’t have to go through the hassle of transferring utility bills into your name, for example, because LettingAgent.com will do it for you. You’ll get a free, centralised phone number to call should problems arise. And your agent will be there when you move out to give an independent appraisal of the state of your property – vital to ensure there are no disputes over deposits, for example. Most tenants would rather have a landlord who takes a professional approach to property. Signing up with LettingAgent.com gives one very big clue that this is the case. So give them a try next time you are looking for a home and take the guess work out of being a tenant.
All of this makes even more sense for those seeking homes for corporate tenants. If you need to find a selection of different properties for different types of employees then the centralised LettingsAgent.com service should make your life far easier. The company will aim to take care of all your requirements, offering you the same high standard of care on each property it finds. So don’t trust to luck as an individual or a corporate tenant. Get the professionals on your side and make your new home life as comfortable as possible.
