There are costs associated with a property being empty. A good letting agent has a clear process of getting your property seen by the right people in order to secure a tenant quickly.
Professional Photography
Most viewings start online. We use a wide angle lens and good lighting to produce the best photographs. We don’t use phone photographs as they always seem to produce poor results.
Accurate Rental Valuation
Rental valuation is a critical factor to be considered by letting agents. The rent needs to be set correctly from the off, as landlords often fail to realise that setting a rent that is too high will result in the property being left vacant for long periods of time, whereas setting a rent that is too low will result in the landlord losing out on rental income on an ongoing basis.
Portal Listings and Local Reach
The property will be listed on major portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla allowing national exposure. The Local letting agent will also have local knowledge of the area, knowing which streets rent the quickest, which tenant profiles would be suitable for the area and how to best promote the rental property.

Fielding and Filtering Enquiries
In addition to handling viewings for landlords, a good letting agent can also deal with an initial bulk of enquiries from potential tenants, filtering out unsuitable applicants to carry out accompanied viewings for the remaining applicants.
Accompanied Viewings
Completed viewings are accompanied by letting agents. Many Letting Agents follow the professional standards for letting agents. Therefore, they present rental properties in a fair and accurate manner and deal with any subsequent disputes with the landlord on their behalf.
There is a structured approach to renting a house quickly and getting quality tenants done well.
