How to Get the Most From Your Letting Agent

If you're in the process of looking for a rental property, you'll be surprised just how few properties are currently available and the high rental prices of those that are. With this the case for many cities across the UK, it is becoming increasingly important to make sure you are receiving the very best service from your letting agent, whatever type of property it is you are looking for.

With rental property scarce throughout much of the UK it is important to cast your net as far as possible. As well as using the services of a respected and professional letting agent, it is also a good idea to use as many of the other resources at your disposal as you can. Websites, such as Gumtree, are an excellent source of private rental properties, although renting privately can be a bit of a minefield as landlords differ greatly in terms of the level of service they provide. By using a dedicated team of letting agents you are assured a standardised service, which often helps when repairs or maintenance issues arise.

By maintaining regular contact with your letting agent you can ensure you are at the forefront of their minds, so when a property does arise which matches your particular requirements, you will be the first person to secure that all important viewing. Acting fast is essential with the vast number of individuals currently searching for rental property, as you can guarantee that a property which meets the standard you are looking for will also match the specifications of many others. If you do like the look of a property then be sure to state your interest. Compiling a list of questions before a viewing is a good idea as often, in the heat of the moment, you might forget to ask something important regarding deposit, length of lease, council tax etc. However, if you do forget to ask an all important question then it is not the end of the ทาวน์เฮ้าส์มือสอง world, just make sure you phone the letting agent straight away as this will reassert just how keen you are on the property.

The last thing you want is to be put on a letting agents file. You can avoid this by maintaining regular contact so the agent is aware you are still looking. There are a number of online letting agents you can register with and by maintaining regular contact you should ensure that as soon as a suitable property becomes available, pictures and details of the property will be emailed straight across.

Charges are another factor to consider when dealing with a letting agent. Be aware that letting agencies can levy charges before you move into the property. Obtaining references is a common cost; some will also charge for compiling an inventory list or drawing up agreements.
