Letting Agents Enjoy Influx of Leads from New Rental Service
As an increasing number of homeowners are now opting to rent out their homes, rather than sell in today’s market, email4property.co.uk, the UK’s largest network of local estate agent websites, has launched a new tool, Rent Out Your Property, which puts soon to be landlords in direct contact with local letting agents.
Previously aimed at solely putting those searching for a home to rent or buy into direct contact with local agents, the new service also allows those looking to rent out their home to identify and make direct contact with potential letting agents in their chosen location. Since launching the new tool in March this year, over 1,250 leads have been passed onto letting agents signed up to the site, ensuring that member agents are the first to hear from those looking to rent out their home.
David Bexon, Managing Director, email4property.co.uk, comments: "With an increasing number of people struggling to sell their home, there has been in influx of accidental landlords, as homeowners looking to move consider letting out their current home while they ride out the mortgage logjam. By launching this new tool, we are providing our letting agents with a targeted stream of potential business as more and more potential landlords go in search of a letting agent to assist them in renting out their home." "For those inexperienced in lettings, using an agent can prove essential in ensuring new landlords are adhering to all of the necessary rules, as well as getting the best possible yield for their property."
