You can use a letting agent such as Hunters to find you a tenant and get you started, or opt for a full management service for complete peace of mind. Take a look at your options:
Letting agent
Managing a buy-to-let property is much easier with the help of a professionally qualified letting agent. At Hunters we offer two levels of service:
Tenant Find Service
We will market your property and find you a fully referenced tenant, setting you on your way to managing your own property. The service we offer helps to attract quality tenants and includes:
• Property details with colour photographs
• Circulation throughout our comprehensive database, which includes local employers and relocation agents to attract well paid, professionals
• Accompanied viewings so we can gauge the tenant’s interest
• Full tenant referencing service to help avert any tenant arrears issues
• Preparation of an up-to-date Tenancy Agreement which meets latest legislation
• Communication with necessary utility companies – final meter readings, new consumer details, to save you time
• Collection of the first month’s rent and security deposit which is then protected as required by law in a government-licensed scheme
• Detailed inventory with photos, including schedule of condition so we/you can prove and claim for any damage caused by the tenant.
Fully Managed Service
This service allows you to put your property in the safe hands of our experts. It includes everything provided in the Tenant Find service plus:
• Collection and transfer of monthly rent so we can act quickly if a payment is late or missed
• Property management visits to ensure the tenant is looking after the property and find any maintenance issues before they become a major issue
• Full maintenance service using quality and where required accredited tradespeople
• Renewal of tenancy agreement, adding in any newly required clauses
• Check out upon tenant departure in line with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme regulations
• Rent Recovery Plus available in case a tenant does leave owing you rent
We can also tailor our services to provide a bespoke offering according to your exact requirements.
