How to move to Belvoir
Arrange a Free Market Appraisal
Check your current agent’s terms of business for guidance on how to terminate the business agreement (If you are unsure we would be happy to look see what this says). Landlords are usually required to serve notice to their agent, so you must provide the adequate notice period as stated in the business contract. As stated above you may be liable to pay a termination fee to the agent, so ensure you read the business clauses carefully, and seek legal advice if necessary before proceeding. Belvoir will be happy to answer any questions you may have, we have the support of a legal team we can ask anything that could be an issue or need clarification on.
Once you have agreed with the agent when their management ends, inform Belvoir and we will then step in and take over. You should not have to do anything else. Simple!
