More and more landlords are realising the benefit of working with letting agents, especially those with extensive experience, such as Norfolk Property Management and Lettings.
The proportion of private rented housing managed by a letting agent is the highest is has been for at least two years, as landlords turn to them to help them navigate the complexities of the Renters’ Rights Act and prepare for further regulation, according to new research.
A poll of the National Residential Landlords Association (NRLA)’s members, conducted by the research consultancy Pegasus Insight, found that 66 per cent of private rentals in England and Wales are now administered by a letting agent in some way.
But as more and more landlords rely on agents, NRLA is highlighting the importance of choosing agents with significant experience, in-depth understanding of the market and the right level of expertise.
Here at Norfolk Property Management and Lettings, we have more than 100 years of lettings and management experience between us.
We have developed a range of professional services to help landlords maintain their properties and maximise their income.
And, as landlords ourselves, we understand the intricacies of the business from both a professional and a personal perspective.
For tenants, our aim is to find just the right home and to ensure a positive and pleasurable occupancy.
And, having rented ourselves in the past, and with children and other family members who have been tenants, we can see the picture from both sides.
Norfolk Property Management and Lettings takes great care in recruiting and training all its team members.
Everyone, from letting and secretarial staff through to managers and partners, receives professional training throughout their career.
We believe the key to a successful let is finding the right tenant – we therefore act in the landlord’s interest, ensuring applicants are vetted rigorously and contact is maintained throughout the letting period.
Once a tenancy agreement has been signed, we arrange collection of the first month’s rent and the tenancy deposit in accordance with current legislation. The deposit is then protected through the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS).
Our flexible services can be carefully tailored to suit your precise needs, from the introduction of potential tenants to the full management and care of your property.
In addition to its professionalism, our team is also friendly, approachable and ready to respond quickly by phone, email or text.
And, unlike many other agents, we have a city centre office in Norwich, where you can visit us, have a cup of tea and discuss your requirements face to face!
So, if you are a landlord who is anxious about the current complex legislation and keen to work with a longstanding, knowledgeable organisation, please contact us for a chat on 01603 219319 or 07885 373020 or email us at info@norfolkpropertymanagement.co.uk.
We can smooth the process for you and take on as much of the hard work as you would like us to.
