i totally agree with all of the above, having a letting agency handle your property not only give yous piece of mind but also gives you your life back, no more messing around having to fix leakey boilers or radiators that dont work. fact its better to use a letting agency!!…

The landlord should ask themselves:

Do I want to manage and can my portfolio support me instead of employment? No? – Use Letting Agent
or
Is my portfolio too large to manage single handedly?
and finally
Will “learning” the trade be more costly to me than the agents fee?

I have a BTL and used an agency for a tenant find only service, they did and 11 months later (12 mth contract) he wants to stay on. He’s quite happy to not renew contract with the agency (after a bad experience) and agree a contract with me direct. I didnt see anything in my contract with the agent that would open me up to legal proceedings if he stayed on and i didnt pay the renewal fee (£150 + VAT). Is there any reason why i shouldnt do this?

I thought that private landlords DO have access to rightmove. Anyone out there know for sure?

I agree that Agents can offer those benefits. However, it’s worth noting that there are some very good agents, and some very bad ones. It’s worth getting to know how to spot these.
