Important Aspects When Choosing Your Agent

As a landlord, one of the most important decisions you must make, is choosing the right company to manage your property asset.

There are many factors that should be taken into consideration including:

·         Are they regulated by a recognised redress scheme such as The Property Ombudsmen

·         Do they have the experience and qualifications to ensure your are protected. ARLA qualified being the highest industry standard.

·         Who will actually manage your property? A team of individuals or a qualified business owner.

·         How are properties marketed? Check Rightmove and see yourself the standard of photographs and descriptions and ask if they really make an effort.

·         What are there “genuine” customer service ratings. Google is the most transparent review system available, which cannot be “adapted” to create a false score.

·         Can they provide references from their landlords?

·         Are they suitably insured for Professional Indemnity.

·         Do they protect client money with an approved Client Money Protection insurance and members of an approved Deposit Protection Scheme.
