If youโ€™re a landlord looking to save time and money, a good letting agent can be a game-changer.

But, as with all business relationships, communication is key. When there is clarity and mutual understanding, things run more smoothly, and you make better decisions.

Here are some tips to get the best out of your relationship with your agent.

  • Before you sign up for services, read your agency agreement and be clear about what youโ€™re getting.
  • Discuss the level of contact you would like with your agent and how involved you want to be with decision-making.
  • If youโ€™re given advice that you donโ€™t understand, ask questions.
  • Outline your long-term strategy so that your agent can advise you about issues such as redecoration and refurbishments.
  • Inform your agent of any past issues with the property, so they can be on the lookout for potential problems.
  • Remember, letting agents are professionals. Donโ€™t expect them to act unreasonably on your behalf.
