Why use an agent?

You may have considered not using an agent and letting on managing the property yourself. Here is why we recommend using an agent:

Letting a property can be stressful. Right now there are around 150 laws which Govern landlords who wish to let a property. Many of which come with financial penalties, inability to evict, and even prison sentences for not adhering to them. In addition to this, the rules and regulations landlords have to follow are continually changing. Don't worry, it's ok if you don't know them all, that's what we're for!

We’re regularly contacted by landlords who have suffered weeks of rental void period, achieving less than market value returns, tenants defaulting on rental payments, damages to their property or simply not being aware of the consequences of getting the administration right at the start of the tenancy. We see the same situations arise frequently and usually in an attempt to save paying an agent fee; however, a proactive and reputable agent, like Haus Will more than save you the cost of their fee, and we are happy to explain how….
