What Does Running a Letting Agency Involve?
line


The Letting Agent’s role is to bring together the two parties - property owners (landlords), and people seeking somewhere to live (tenants). In many cases the landlord requires only a 'tenant find' service, but on average more than half of all landlords these days engage the Letting Agent to let and then 'manage' the tenanted property. The property itself may be anything from a studio flat to a large country house.

The skills required to become a letting agent are really just common sense, and people skills - being able to communicate comfortably, both on the telephone and face to face.

The work involved
  • Marketing your services to local landlords
  • Taking property details and providing advice where necessary
  • Advertising the properties to attract tenant applicants
  • Listing tenants requirements and matching to properties
  • Carrying out viewings of properties
  • Referencing tenants and preparing the legal documentation
  • Receiving first rental and deposit, and finalising the paperwork.
Where you are 'managing' the property, you would also -
  • Check tenants in against the inventory
  • Receive ongoing rental payments and forward balances to landlords
  • Deal with any maintenance or other issue that may arise
  • Carry out periodic inspections of the property
  • Check tenants out at the end of a tenancy.


That's basically it in a nutshell.

Our Letting Agency Training & Operating Manual takes you through the entire procedures step-by-step, and we provide all the legal documents, administration forms and standard letters that you will need to run your Letting Agency business in an organised, efficient, and profitable manner.

If you have any queries or issues that you need advice on, simply call our Telephone Support Line or fire off an email to our Support Section. We are more than willing and able to help - it's all included in our service.

Your success is our success. What goes around comes around. We want your letting agency business to thrive so that you will recommend us, and provide a nice juicy testimonial for our collection!
