In this two-minute read, I look at seven fundamental steps landlords in Retford need to take to put themselves and their rental properties on the path to success.
Being a landlord can be
challenging, complicated and confusing. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
By following these quick
tips below, you’ll make your life easier and your properties more profitable.
1) Get Three (Free) Valuations. So, you have a property to rent? I
suggest calling in three different letting agents to compare prices, people,
and approach. Be careful not to be sucked in by cheap fees as it’s often
reflected in the service you get.
2) Picking a Letting Agent. Look for professionalism, integrity,
value for money and a list of agreed responsibilities. Make sure the letting
agency is an ARLA member. (Association of Residential Letting Agents) and ARLA

3) Marketing Magic. How, where, and when your property is marketed
adds significantly to its chances of success. At The Good Estate Agent, we use
several different platforms, tactics, and techniques to attract the largest
possible audience for your property. We have been doing it successfully for over 10 years.
4) The 3 Ps. If you want to attract quality tenants at the best price,
your property must be clean, well maintained and nicely presented. Remember the
3Ps as they are worth repeating – presentation, presentation, presentation.
5) Dealing with potential tenants. Once quality potential tenants
have been found, and the rental price agreed, we carry out all the necessary
work. This includes gathering references, creating tenancy agreements,
collecting the initial deposit and rent, and arranging for a thorough check-in
and inventory to take place. We also do a few extra checks to make sure the
potential tenants are genuine.
6) Moving in and on. Once all the above has been carried out and
things are in order, you/we can release the keys to your new tenant. By
establishing excellent communication during the moving in process we lay the
foundations for good future relations.
7) Hassle-Free Property Management. We offer different tiers of
service, from let only where we will find you a quality tenant and carry out
all the preparatory work, right through to full property management. If you
want us to just find you a quality tenant and leave the rest up to you that’s fine. But if you want to have a calm life we can
take full responsibility for your property and tenants and make sure all is
well.
When you decide to have your
property fully managed, it means we take responsibility for all things that
need doing and sorting out.
This includes collecting
rents, arranging safety checks, property inspections and making sure
maintenance and repairs are carried out by skilled local professionals. AND we’ll
keep you the right side of the mountain of rental regulations and laws affecting
the rented property market.
