Let there be Light!!
Over the past few months there has been a great deal of negative comment over the landlord and tenant market, and if you were to believe the media, anyone who owns a Buy to Let property should expect the worse! In reality, whilst there has been a fluctuating demand for property, especially in the run up to Christmas, there is no doubt that there are still plenty of people looking for properties to rent in the North London, East London, Essex and Hertfordshire areas. Kings Lettings have seen a marked increase in demand for all types of property, but there is a definite demand outstripping supply in the area. Rents fell away a little last year but as the biggest agent in the area, Kings are in prime position to obtain market leading rents for Landlords. Jade Vida, Area Manager of Kings Lettings, says “We have seen a lot of unscrupulous agents come and undercut fees in the last year, as house sales have taken a knock, but the fact is that they simply don’t have the necessary experience to get the best deal for their landlords. We have an established Property Management department, and all our staff are trained to very high standards, with our managers all having done, or are in the process of taking the ARLA qualifications. The agent you use should be ARLA registered, and be able to advertise your property extensively, to get you the best market rent going. Kings advertise in the paers and link to all the property portals. It is easy to think you have got a great deal when the agent’s fee is cheap, but what experience do they have in dealing with arrears, property repairs and even potentially, representing you in Court!” In keeping with Kings tradition in rewarding excellence, they recently had an evening to present awards to recognise their Top Achievers, across all strands of the business. Now more than ever, do you need the right people in the right role to achieve the best deal, and deliver the best service to their clients. You can see some of the Lettings managers winners in the above picture! There is light, but that can soon dim if you chose the wrong agent to look after your asset!
