How to select a Letting Agent

With the residential market expanding and the buy to let becoming popular for rental and for long term investment. Office of national statistics show that 20% of the households in England had been renting in the private sector. This is has expanded significantly in recent years but due the increase of stamp duty and loan interest restrictions that have come into play int the 2017-18 tax year, the market has been impacted and it has become difficult to purchase a buy to let.

Most Landlord would employ a letting agent to ensure their property is meeting its compliance obligations and managing their property. It’s important to select an expert that is trustworthy and has a proven track record. This can be done by researching their reviews and seeing what others say about them.Using a local Letting agent 
It makes sense to use a local agent as they will know the market and the customers buying habits. They will have an understanding of the rental value and this can be an important factor when selecting the right tenants.

Choose the service level package

Most agents have three packages, the first one is usually the tenant finder which means they will do the due diligence and find you the tenants. The second one is tenant finder and rent collection, which means they will find the tenants, collect and deliver the rent to you. The third level is full management, which means they will find the tenants, collect and deliver the rent and take care of all the maintenance. You can be paying anywhere between 8%-10% of the rent on the full management service.
