What Landlords Think Lettings is vs What it Actually Takes to Manage a Property

A common misconception that surrounds lettings is that it’s simple, you list the property on the market, find a tenant (contract holder) and collect the rent. Which often leads to the question: Why would I need a letting agent?

Those are only the tip of the iceberg. A fully managed service covers everything from the initial marketing and finding a contract holder to handling the financial, legal and everyday responsibilities that will help protect your investment and offer peace of mind, that’s all without even thinking about keeping pace with the ever changing legislation.

A property management company will market your property and arranging viewings to contract holder referencing, ensure you are compliant with Rent Smart Wales, carry out inventories and check outs to help support any deposit disputes, maintenance coordination, rent reviews, contract renewals, as well as a variety of other work. There is always something needing to be done behind the scenes at every stage of the process.

Landlords in Wales also need to keep up with constantly evolving legislation under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act, alongside ongoing safety and compliance requirements. Ensuring a property remains compliant requires regular monitoring and management throughout the duration of the contract.
