CHOOSING THE RIGHT LETTING AGENT IS CRITICAL
There is a saying: “Buy cheap and buy twice”. When letting, unlike selling, you are trusting complete strangers to look after your property. Lost rent and damages are far more costly than saving a few pounds by instructing “the cheapest agent”.
The first tenant may not be the best tenant so it’s generally better to instruct one agent who can concentrate on finding the best quality tenant for you rather that have several agents fighting each other just to secure their commission.
The appropriate presentation and marketing of your property are of paramount importance to enable us to achieve the best possible price. We provide three main services to help you ensure your investment is in professional and experienced hands.
Let only service
