Let’s Let have highly trained, experienced staff who are ARLA qualified, and who will assist you through all aspects of the letting process. Our qualified staff will visit your property to give advice on rental value and discuss the type of letting recommended to suit your individual circumstances. They will give advice on the type of tenancy agreement and how you can gain possession, whether you should let furnished or unfurnished, discuss landlord’s regulations and responsibilities, and answer the many more questions you are sure to have. Below are a list of some of the questions you may have, but further information and advice will be given in full. What Services Do You Offer? Let’s Let offer a Full Management service or a Tenant Find service What Is Full Management? This is a service provided by letting agents to help protect and maintain your property to its original standard, fair wear and tear excepted. What Type Of Tenancy Agreement Do You Use? All tenants are required to sign a Short Assured Tenancy Agreement under the provisions of the Housing (Scotland) Act 1988 for a minimum fixed term of six months or a non-housing act company lease. What Do You Do For Your Fees? Full management service may include marketing as appropriate, tenant referencing, preparation of tenancy agreement and legal notices, preparation of inventory and schedule of condition, transfer of utilities, rent guarantee insurance cover (subject to terms and conditions), inspection of properties. Tenant find service may include marketing as appropriate, tenant referencing, preparation of tenancy agreement and legal notices, preparation of inventory and schedule of condition. Is Letting Safe And Can I Get My Property Back? It’s safe provided the tenancy agreement is properly drawn up and the correct Notices served. Then, in cases where legal action is needed for repossession, the court should make an order in the landlord’s favour. What If The Tenant Wants To Extend The Term Of The Let? This is very common and, providing both parties agree, the tenancy can be extended. What About An Inventory? It is essential that a detailed inventory and schedule of condition is prepared prior to the tenant’s entry. This will help identify missing items, breakages and damages liable to be covered out of the tenant’s deposit. What Regulations Affect Me? Regulations are constantly changing. It is the landlord’s responsibility to ensure that the property meets safety regulations. As ARLA members, we are kept updated with all new regulations that come into effect. Our experienced staff will guide you with current legislation requirements and any future legislation that comes into force. Is There Insurance Cover Available For Landlords? There are policies available specifically for landlord’s for building and contents insurance, and also legal expenses cover. Rent guarantee cover is also available. What If It All Goes Wrong? We will issue notices in relation to any breach of contract the tenant has committed, and if necessary instruct solicitors on your behalf to take the tenant to court to regain possession. |
