4. Read the paperwork.

Make sure you understand what you are signing. Whilst it might sound simple, sometimes the amount of information provided within contracts can seem overwhelming. Our team are always on hand to help explain or provide you with more clarifications on any points included in our contracts.

5. Protect yourself.

Lettings agents do not have to be part of any regulated bodies, however professional companies will choose to invest in themselves, in order to provide the best service for their landlords and tenants. Look out for agents that are members of;

• SAFE AGENT
• TPO (The Property Ombudsman)
• TDS(Tenancy Deposit Scheme)
• DPS (Deposit Protection Service) – (or other deposit protection schemes)
