In the current housing market many people are finding that they can’t get themselves a remortgage when their current fixed rate deal expires. This means they’re left with the option of selling their house, or if they can, letting it out.
Of course, when it comes to letting out a house you’ll probably need to make some changes to ensure that it’s rentable, such as new carpets, getting the boiler certified etc. When you do this, you can either get the work done yourself, or you can use a letting agent. Using a letting agent means you’ll end up paying a management fee, usually around 10%, but it has a number of advantages.
A letting agent will liaise with the tenants for you, so that you’re never bothered about problems around the house such as maintenance. A letting agent will be responsible for collecting the rent, so that you don’t have to do it, and they’ll provide you with invoices for your tax.
Finally the letting agent will arrange for any development or repair work that needs to be done on the house, such as if the roof needs fixing or a door needs repairing. This takes the worry from you, all for 10%.
