We understand that many landlords in the Bolton area and surrounding villages find themselves dissatisfied with their current letting agent and are unsure about the process of switching to a new one. At Belvoir Bolton, we are here to make the transition as smooth as possible, taking care of the work for you.
Follow these step-by-step guidelines to move from your current letting agent:
- Determine the Notice Period: Refer to the Terms of Business agreement you initially signed with your current agent to ascertain the notice period required for termination. If you cannot locate the agreement, simply reach out to your agent for the necessary information and provide written notice accordingly.
- Obtain Tenant Contact Details: Ideally, you should have the contact details of your tenants readily available. If not, your current agent should provide you with this information. We will then contact your tenants to inform them of the agency change and request them to update their rent payment details to transfer payments to Belvoir instead.
- Notify your Current Agent: We will send a formal letter to your current agent, officially confirming our takeover of the property management. We will also request essential documents such as the Tenancy Agreement, inventory copies, Statement of Condition, tenant contact details, and details regarding the protection of the tenant’s deposit.
- Complete and Sign Our Paperwork: We will provide you with the necessary paperwork to complete and sign, ensuring a smooth transition of management to Belvoir Bolton.
- New Tenancy Agreement: In most cases, we will prepare a new Tenancy Agreement for the tenant to sign upon assuming management. We prefer this approach as our agreements have been reviewed by legal advisors and are fully compliant with current legislation.
Moving to Belvoir Bolton is a straightforward process, and you don’t have to tolerate poor service due to perceived difficulties in switching agents.
For further information and assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact Belvoir Bolton. We are here to support you every step of the way.
