With the increasingly regulated business of letting out a property, it has become more important than ever to employ the services of a licenced letting agency. Too much emphasis is often put on the initial references; as important as they are, a tenant’s circumstances can change, and when they do, their ability to meet their outgoings can change very suddenly which can lead to a stressful situation for the landlord. We will liaise with your tenant to first understand their circumstances and try to find a solution to the cause of their inability to pay the rent. Should it be necessary to seek legal possession of your property, it has become critically important to ensure that the request for possession is strictly served in accordance with the expectations of the judge. At a typical cost of over £1,150, the process of gaining legal possession can extend beyond 12 months, that’s a big loss to rent arrears and even more costly if the judge isn’t satisfied that the correct procedures were not followed. Should our guaranteed rent be your preferred service, you will not be exposed to these financial risks.

A private landlord will not be short on enquires from would be tenants, influenced by their personality and the offer of generous rents; all too often we receive enquiries from landlords who have experienced the anxiety of having to deal with the problems caused by their troublesome tenants and the organisations supporting them. Then, to find that the landlord has not complied with legislation bringing about the threat of heavy fines, compensation claims, high costs and expensive losses. A private landlord would be wise to consider the benefits of employing the services of a professional licenced residential letting agency when renting out a house.
