A few tips on selecting a Letting Agent
When letting a property it is common to market it through more than one letting agent. The process differs from selling a property in that a sole agency agreement with a letting agent is relatively rare and there is commonly no difference in fees regardless of how many agents you use.
Start by clicking through to the websites of the agents listed above and see what types of property they currently have available. Do they seem to specialise in houses or flats similar to yours? Also, check if they have a strong presence in your part of the area. When you have established which three or four agents are the most suitable use our form to contact them with a single email.
