New Service Aims to Connect Want-To-Be Landlords with Local Letting Agents
In response to the increasing number of homeowners 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 would-be-landlords in direct contact with local letting agents. Potential landlords can search the site for letting agents in their chosen geographical location and make direct contact with agents in three simple steps, in addition to obtaining a range of tips and advice on how to become a private landlord, the pros and cons, as well as any necessary legal obligations.
David Bexon, Managing Director, email4property.co.uk, comments: "With an increasing number of people struggling to sell their home, there has been an 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 a simple and effective way for these new landlords to get in touch with the relevant letting agents in their area."
Bexon, adds: “Becoming a landlord is not without its complications and regulations – from making decisions on rent and furnishings to ensuring that the rented home has an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). For those with limited experience in the lettings field, it is important to get professional advice to ensure you are adhering to all of the necessary rules, as well as getting the best possible yield for your property. Appointing an accredited lettings agent is one of the most effective ways of ensuring you have everything covered."
Three simple steps to renting out your property: Finding your local letting agents on email4property.co.uk is simple. Type in the town or city where your property is based and then select 'Rent out your Property' from the options alongside the left-hand panel. You can then contact agents independently or opt to use the 'One email to all letting agents' option, to contact all relevant agents via one quick and simple email.
