Landlords, what have we learnt?

A question for Landlords? Why are some letting agents potentially charging you a first months’ rent for their services in finding a new tenant, and in some cases more?

Having successfully sourced several new tenants for various Clients myself this month, on each occasion within days of the initial request. I now know exactly what is required of my time in doing so.

Just like me, most of the Agents’ already have a database of potential tenants (but not in all cases), who have lodged their request regarding a particular property in a certain area. I agree there is a requirement to upload the basic information to the online portals after assessing the property, taking measurements, floor plans, credit and reference checks, photos’ and if like me a video. There is also the time for prospective viewings and a few other minor time-consuming actions to fulfill regarding the applicable documentation.

With the average rents in the North East running at approximately £546, that seems to be an awful lot of your money for the task in hand.

Target Property Services (NE), affordably priced, honest advice.

Testimonials

Joe and Keileigh have been very professional and with excellent communications throughout. They listened and acted to suggestions as well as providing advice and support. The unique difference to other agents is they were always available, working well beyond office hours as they really put their heart and soul into their business. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to sell their home.

The 5 stars say it, Joe and Keileigh were brilliant from the initial phone call to handing over the keys. Nothing was a bother even opening the property on an evening (I work long hours). Everything is as it should be and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Target property NE whether you're buying or selling. Great team, Thank you.
