Advantages of using a letting agent!

10th July 2015

Are you aware that there's more to being a landlord than collecting the rent?.

You need to be on top of the current property legislation, have all your certificates in place and make sure that they are in date, be on call for any problems your tenants encounter, and find new tenants to make sure your property continues to earn you money!.

This is all very time consuming and labor intensive so why not enlist Pollard Estate and Letting Agents to take care of this for you.

Services include:
Preparing the property for rent
Carry out a full inventory check
Marketing and advertising
Carrying out inspections
Vetting tenants
Managing finances
Organising maintenance

Legal requirements and paperwork are taken care of:
Pollards Estate and Letting Agents prepare all the lease documents and go over them with your tenants to avoid problems that sometimes arise when a landlord is unfamiliar with the law. The deposit protection system is now very rigorous and requires evidence to be gathered at every stage which can be very time consuming and records must be kept.

Vetting for bad tenants:

Rent your property more quickly
Pollards Estate and Letting Agents will turn around your property quickly engaging cleaning and other services when a tenant moves out giving minimum delay getting it back on market. The property will be advertised online and in the monthly property guides going out to major employers, doctors, dentists, schools and colleges.
