Full Management Service
Specialist Letting Agency provides a full property management service to landlords wishing to let out their property. The standard fee for the management is taken as a percentage of the gross rents due for the period of the tenancy.
This comprehensive service includes the following tasks:
Visiting the property, appraising the letting potential and advising you about the general aspects of letting.
Marketing and advertising your property.
We advertise locally, on our website and circulate property details to applicants already registered to us.
Making arrangements for potential tenants to view your property, usually with the accompaniment of one of our staff.
Carrying out the initial vetting of potential tenants.
Obtaining your approval once a suitable tenant has been found and negotiating the tenancy details.
Making status enquiries as appropriate to tenant’s suitability.
Preparing the Tenancy Agreement and renewing the Agreement where necessary at the end of the term.
Preparation of a detailed Inventory and Schedule of Condition.
Carrying out a full property inspection and inventory check at the end of the tenancy and advising the landlord and tenant of breaches noted in that report.
Taking a deposit from the tenant to be held by the agent and protected by a regulated insurance based scheme. The property will be checked for unfair wear and tear before the deposit is returned to the vacating tenant.
Collecting the rent and making payment to the landlord monthly less any fees or expenses due or incurred for the period. Payments will be made by direct bank transfer and a detailed rent statement will be forwarded to the landlord.
Taking meter readings and advising the utility companies that accounts are to be transferred in to the tenant’s name.
Inspections of the property are carried out on a regular basis to ensure compliance with terms of the tenancy agreement.
