Letting Agents Islington-Makes everything real and possible

If you are a landlord of residential property then it is likely you use a letting agent Islington for some or

all of the property management. Managing a property or properties can be full time occupation & not

everyone can afford to do it, so it makes ideal sense to employ an agent to shoulder a number of the

day to day work. But what ought to an agent be doing for you?

Initially a letting agents' job is to find you a tenant. You could place ads in the local newspapers & online

yourself but fielding the candidates, carrying out reference & credit checks & showing people the

property is a sizable dedication in time. Using an agent to do the leg work won't only save you time, but

they are better placed to check references & credit histories, including carrying out the paperwork

necessary.

A letting agent Islington will likely mean that you receive a tenant faster as well, as they will have access

to marketing mediums you would not normally have. This reduces void periods where you are not

receiving any rent & the property is, in fact, costing you money. Then the most important job for any

letting agent is to collect the rent on behalf of the owner. This can be a hard job for an individual to do,

when the tenant or tenants are unreliable when it comes to paying. By using an agent you can distance

yourself from the job & they are much better placed to chase late payers & set up standing orders &

direct debits to guard against missed or late payments.

They can also act as an intermediary between a landlord & tenant on such matters, which will avoid

unnecessary confrontations & arguments. Ongoing maintenance of a property or properties may even

be a time consuming aspect of being a landlord. When things go wrong, like a broken boiler, destroy to

the property or even scheduled checks of utilities, it is the landlord's responsibility to over out repairs or

make definite the checks are done. This usually involves finding - & paying for - a contractor (not to

mention the parts). While the cost cannot be avoided the time spent doing this can be. Employing a

letting agent to manage the property on your behalf means they will discover a contractor, arrange the

repairs or checks & over out payment.
