Recent research by the housing charity Shelter has revealed the top eviction hotspots throughout the country. As expected the top 10 spots are occupied by London Boroughs but Luton is in the top 10 outside of London. All the more reason to choose a quality letting agent, says Adrian Mason from Belvoir Luton.
Adrian Mason, whose letting agency helps those wanting to rent property in Luton, says: ““There are steps that can be taken to protect yourself from defaulting tenants. At Belvoir Luton we have been able to keep our rental arrears low compared to the national average the reason for this is that that we conduct excellent tenant checks. Prior to a tenant moving in, Belvoir Luton run credit checks, get references from current employers and from past landlords, for all parties who intend to move into the property.”
“In addition to the steps taken to reference all tenants who wish to rent property in Luton we also recommend that all of our landlords then purchase Rent Protection Insurance as a back up. This covers the landlord against non-paying tenants if they were to lose their jobs unexpectedly or if they were to fall ill, causing them to default.”, added Adrian.
Designed to cover the landlord against any possible arrears until vacant possession is obtained, Rent Protection Insurance also covers any legal expenses as a result of a tenant breaching the tenancy agreement, or unauthorised occupation of the property. All Belvoir landlords have access to unique insurance packages. These include rent and legal protection insurance, house building insurance and home contents insurance. Belvoir insurance packages are comprehensive and typically cost a third of their nearest competitor – saving you money while ensuring your property is properly protected.
