Calling first time landlords…we are here to help you!
Taking the plunge and letting a property out can be a nerve wracking and daunting experience for a first time landlord, especially if the
property was a family home and holds sentimental value, but it doesn’t need to
be that way. Of course, there are always going to be horror stories of
nightmare tenants who trash houses, and TV programmes such as ‘Can’t pay we’ll
take it away’ definitely don’t help this!
But I can assure you that nightmare tenants are a rarity and
there are a lot of lovely tenants out there!
At Spencer we have a knack for sussing out these lovely tenants and can
guide you through the rental process to make it as easy and pain free as
possible from the very beginning. If you are a first time investor we can help and
give advice to ensure you purchase a property that will bring you a high yield, and will rent out quickly, or if you are already a home owner we can help you
ensure your property is ready to be rented and that you can achieve the maximum
rental figure you are wanting.
We will spend time to get to know you and your property, we
come out and meet you at a time that suits you, we instruct professional
photographers, and carry out floor plans to ensure they look great in all of our
marketing material, we offer accompanied viewings, and even offer evening and
weekend appointments to suit potential tenants.
Throughout the process we are only a phone call away and
will provide you with regular honest feedback from any viewings, once we have
(hopefully very quickly) found you a tenant, we arrange for them to be
financially verified, credit checked, and their previous landlord references
obtained, this is to ensure that the tenant can afford the property and limits
the possibility of their being any problems down the line. Before the tenant
moves in we take a deposit in case of any issues, and offer an inventory service
so that the condition of the property is recorded, this helps should there be
any deposit disputes or damage when the tenants do move out.
Our work however doesn’t always stop there; we do offer a
fully managed service in which we deal with all of the communication with your
tenants so you don’t have to! This includes us arranging any maintenance work
required & completing regular inspections to ensure the property is looked
after, we can contact you only in emergencies if that suits you or can update
you when issues arise.
So If you are a landlord looking to rent out your property,
please contact us so we can make the process as enjoyable for you as possible!
