Assistance for Landlords

At times being a landlord can be stressful, which is why there are a number of companies out there that attempt to take some of strain out of it.

Chartered Surveyors

From the off, chartered surveyors can advise potential landlords whether a particular property is going to be a good investment to use a house or flat share. They take into account the industry trends, property prices of the local area and other variables that may have an effect on success of making a profit. It is often best practice to find a local chartered surveyor as they will have a better knowledge of the local area and market, these can be sourced by contacting the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) or searching on Google, for example, “Chartered Surveyors Essex.”

A chartered surveyor can also provide legal advice prior and during a tenancy.

Letting Agents

Although typically associated with full property lettings, there are a number of letting agents that will deal flat and house share landlords too. The role of a letting agent is to find suitable tenants on the landlord’s behalf as well as deal with any issues that a tenant may have during their tenancy. A recurring monthly fee is charged and in return it is their responsibility to act a go between the tenants and landlord. Some letting agents will also offer management services where they take full control of the maintenance and organising any repairs that the property requires.

These are just two examples of the types of companies that as a landlord you can employ in order to take away some of the pressures, especially if you are new to the flat share market or have more than one property to manage.
