Whether you are receiving my
Warrington Property newsletter for the first time or are a seasoned reader,
you’ll not be surprised to learn that we have started to attract many landlords
seeking advice with their residential lettings. Ultimately, they are
seeing a better and more professional service from an agent who is firmly
established, than they receive from their current letting agent.
We are getting more and more
landlords approaching us who are unhappy or dissatisfied with their current
agent and have been asking us how to go about moving management of their
property to us.
If you have a
property in or around the Warrington area and are unhappy with your current
agent, then why not switch?
There is a general feeling amongst
landlords that it is better to wait until their current tenant has given notice
to leave the property before they even contemplate changing agents, as it is
far more problematic to change agents midway through a tenancy. While this can
be true, it is not your hassle as we can do most of the work for you!
Have a look at our 5 step process if you are considering
moving from your current letting agent if you are dissatisfied with their
service:
Step One: Giving
Notice
You will need to find out how
much, if any, notice you are required to give your current agent as detailed
within the Terms and Conditions you signed at the start of your contract.
When you have determined your
notice period, give the required notice in
writing to terminate your agreement. If you need any advice regarding this,
please contact us. It may help if your notice coincides with your current rent due date as
it will make the switching process much more straightforward.
Step Two: Collecting Tenant
Details
If you are on a fully managed
service then it would be wise to obtain the contact details for your current
tenant. Your agent should give you these.
Step Three: The Paperwork
We will arrange to meet you,
either at your home or at our offices, where we will go through our terms of
business. We will also
outline our lettings process and our commitment to providing an unrivalled
lettings and management service.
We will provide you with all the
necessary paperwork for you to read and complete.
Step Four: Informing Your Tenant
We will arrange to meet your
current tenant at their property to explain everything to them. We provide them
with a welcome pack which includes a new
standing order to pay their rent. We can also advise on cancelling their
existing standing order.
Part of this transfer may include
a new tenancy agreement for the tenant to sign. This is to protect all parties as all of our
tenancy agreements are updated regularly for changes in legislation. We will also deal with any necessary deposit transfer/registration.
Step Five: Your Personal Property
Manager
Both you and your tenant will be
assigned a dedicated property manager who will be your contact throughout the
tenancy, should any matters arise that require our attention.
That’s it. It
really is that easy!
If you are looking for an agent that is well established, professional and communicative, then contact us to find out how we can get the best out of your investment property.
