SHOULD I USE A LETTING/MANAGING AGENT? Using a letting/managing agent has many advantages. Letting/managing agents can:
• Help you market your property. • Help you find a suitable tenant. • Help screening potential tenants. • Conduct the necessary property inspections. • Provide useful advice and information. • Manage the entire lease on your behalf.
Regardless of whether you make use of a letting/managing agent or not, ensure that you have a lease agreement in place that protects both yourself and the tenant.
WHAT CAN I DO TO PREPARE MY PROPERTY? Presentation and appearance of the property is of utmost importance. The quickest way to find a tenant for your property is to make sure it is clean and as attractive as possible.
It may be a good idea to get a professional cleaner into the property, making sure they pay attention to all windows, appliances and bathroom fixtures.
WHAT ARE MY RESPONSIBILITES AS A LANDLORD? All electrical appliances and furnishings that are present in the property (Excluding the ones a tenant brings in.) are legally your responsibility to maintain.
