More UK letting agents choose to advertise their properties for let on Rightmove than on any other property website. The website attracts a great quantity of traffic and as a result works well as a means to be able to get a property the kind of presence it so needs. The reason they choose to advertise on Rightmove is simple; with the largest audience of UK home-movers,How Letting Agents tend to let property Articles we provide more tenant enquiries than anywhere else - at a rate of one per second. Houses can be taken within minutes of hitting the internet.

Instructing an agent to manage your property can be both time-saving and cost effective as they will manage and deal with tenant enquiries and problems, source qualified tradesmen to rectify any maintenance issues and deal with all legal aspects and requirements, including contracts and tenancy deposit schemes.

A good letting agent will be able to:

  • Recommend a rental price for your property based on their knowledge of local market conditions.
  • Ensure your property is advertised where the UK's biggest audience of renters look for property - on Rightmove.
  • Keep you up to date with the latest changes in legislation, providing you with the advice, support and level of communication you need to feel that you're in safe hands.

You should choose an agent that you feel comfortable dealing with and who you feel will look after your best interests as a landlord. In looking for and search for an agent, you will obviously be interested in the agent's fees for letting your property, but also ask about the length of any exclusivity period (i.e. a period of time during which you cannot market your property with another letting agent) and ensure you are clear on how to serve notice should you wish to.

From the above, have a look also and consider in full if the agent would also be able to help you should you wish to sell your letting. Some letting agents offer both the sale of property as well as lettings services, hand in hand. The two can for sure compliment one another and for sure work well in the outright management of property. Both services may be a little different yet they are so connected to one another in terms of how they work.
