Getting Organised
Renting your property can be both time consuming and expensive.
There are a number of options and these are discussed in some
detail below:
Letting Agents
Letting and property management agents provide a number of
different types of services to landlords.
The level of service will very often determine the amount
they charge. Charges are usually commission, based on the
annual rental income of your property. You should therefore
discuss and compare the charges of different agents in your
area. Typically rates vary between 8% and 15% plus VAT. Some
agents deduct the commission upfront whilst others make a
deduction as they collect the rent.
-
Introduction Only: The introduction service offered by
letting agents very often gives landlords the most basic
of all services available. It consists of finding suitable
tenants for your property, applying for references, preparing
the tenancy the tenancy agreement and collection of the
first month's rent and deposit. The letting agents' charges
are deducted from the first month's rent and deposit. As
landlord you will be responsible for the deposit and for
all future property management issues.
-
Rent Collection: The rent collection service includes all
the services offered under the introduction only service,
together with a rent collection service. Once rent is collected
the letting agents' rent collection commission is deducted
and balance is paid to the landlord. The landlord is expected
to arrange to inspect the property and deal with any repairs
under the terms of the agreement. The issue of notices to
quit are normally dealt with by the letting agent but the
landlord will need to make his or her own arrangements to
deal with all aspects of the tenant moving out.
-
Full Management: The fully managed service offered is the
most comprehensive and deals with almost all the issues
of property management required on a daily basis. Urgent
repairs will be undertaken as needed by the letting agent
and quotes will be obtained for other non-essential matters.
The payment for any expenditure will be deducted from rents
collected before any payments are made to the landlord.
For landlords who working or living abroad this service
is essential as all matters are left in the hands of the
letting agent
