How to Choose the Right Letting Agent

A good letting agent can take the stress out of property management and give landlords peace of mind.

Here’s how to choose a top professional.

Recommendations: Ask other local landlords who they use. Word-of-mouth endorsements can be invaluable.

Marketing: Compare how different agents advertise properties and drum up business. Professional marketing that targets high-quality tenants is a must.

Rapport: Choose someone with whom you can develop a solid business relationship and a sense of trust.

Value for money: The cheapest isn’t always the best value. A cut-price agent who is disorganised and cuts corners will cost you more in the long run.

Organised: A good agent has systems in place to schedule maintenance, repairs and safety checks.

Industry body membership: While membership to a professional body is voluntary, it’s a sign the agent takes their job seriously.

Legal knowledge: The number of regulations landlords must follow has skyrocketed in recent years. If an agent is wishy-washy on legislative detail, steer clear.
