Online letting agents - Where it is at
If you have looked at the different options available for you as a Landlord or Property Manager, then you will know it is somewhat of a maze out there. This only encourages us to talk and complain about the different options.
Question for you, did you know, the average cost of an online letting agent is £45? As you will know, your high street letting agent will ask for around £500 for a 'find-a-tenant' service. You will no doubt have your own opinion on the service you receive; there are different reports out there on the level of customer service received.
There are so many accounts of Landlords saving thousands when using an online letting agent, and we are constantly being praised for our service and pricing.
Fully managing your property
There are Landlords out there, who like to be involved in the complete management of their property; this would include arranging the viewings, being in control of collecting the rent and handling any maintenance issues. There are high street letting agents out there that provide this piece of mind, so that you know the above will be taken care of.
We should also mention at this point, there are also different levels of management available from online letting agents.
Vigilance is key
If you are vigilant when screening a tenant, and you will know what to look out for, if you have any future problems with them, they will be minimal. You need to have the attitude that rings true for many - it is not a case of if you are able to resolve a situation, it is a case of whether or not you can be bothered. This is your property, so hopefully you will be able to move to action when required. With this in mind, an online letting agent may be a great option for you.
There are many online resources for you to use should you need any help. For instance, LandlordZone are great for problem solving - they are very knowledgeable.
