Why use a letting agent?
The main reason landlords use a letting agent is to take the stress out of the everyday management of your property.
It is also useful if you are short of time, find it difficult to keep abreast of all the changing legislation and paperwork, if you are moving abroad, or you want to streamline your lifestyle.
A good letting agent will not only save you time, but money too, and can help minimise the time your property is empty and reduce the risk of taking on tenants with a poor payment history. Letting agents also negotiate higher rents and deal with repairs and property management issues for you.
