Services letting agents provide
Letting agents in Aylesbury typically offer three levels of service. Most begin with a rental valuation to set an achievable market rent. Tenant find covers marketing, viewings, referencing and setting up the tenancy. Rent collection adds the handling of monthly payments and chasing arrears. Full property management takes on day to day matters such as inspections, repairs, deposit handling and renewals. Many also help landlords with compliance, including gas safety records, electrical safety certificates and energy performance certificates. If you are deciding whether to let or sell, you can also compare local estate agents.
Compliance and safety checks
Landlords in England must meet several legal duties, and a managing agent usually arranges these. Right to Rent checks confirm that tenants can legally rent in the UK. An annual gas safety record is required where there are gas appliances, and an Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, must be in place and renewed at least every five years. An energy performance certificate is needed before a property is marketed. Where a property is let to several unrelated households, it may need an HMO licence from Buckinghamshire Council, with extra standards for room sizes, fire safety and shared facilities.
Regulation and what to check
Letting agents handling client money in England should belong to a government approved Client Money Protection scheme, and must be members of a redress scheme such as The Property Ombudsman or the Property Redress Scheme. Many also hold membership of ARLA Propertymark. Tenant deposits must be held in an approved tenancy deposit scheme, and the agent should explain how any deposit dispute would be resolved through that scheme. Before signing, ask which schemes an agent belongs to and check that fees are set out clearly.
How fees usually work
For landlords, charges are often quoted as a percentage of the monthly rent. As a guide, tenant find services typically cost a one off fee, while full property management is usually charged monthly. Additional costs can apply for inventories, referencing, EICR testing and renewals, so ask for a full schedule of charges. Tenant fees are restricted under the Tenant Fees Act, so most upfront charges to tenants are limited to rent and a capped deposit. Landlords weighing up the wider costs of letting may also speak to accountants about tax on rental income.
Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a letting agent in Aylesbury?
Compare the services offered, check that the agent belongs to a redress scheme and a Client Money Protection scheme, and ask for a clear breakdown of fees. Reading recent ratings, asking how they handle compliance such as EICR and gas checks, and confirming the areas an agent covers, such as Wendover, Haddenham or Buckingham, also helps.
What does a letting agent typically charge?
Charges vary by service and agent. Tenant find is often a one off fee, while full property management is usually a monthly percentage of the rent. Inventories, referencing and EICR testing may be billed separately. Always ask for a written schedule of fees before you commit, as figures here are only a general guide.
Should an agent be registered or accredited?
Agents must belong to a redress scheme and, where they hold client money, a Client Money Protection scheme. Tenant deposits should sit in an approved tenancy deposit scheme. Many agents are also members of ARLA Propertymark. Ask which schemes apply before you sign any agreement.
What compliance does a rental property need?
A let property usually needs Right to Rent checks, an annual gas safety record where gas is present, a valid EICR for the electrics, and an energy performance certificate. Properties shared by several households may also require an HMO licence from Buckinghamshire Council.
What is the difference between tenant find and full management?
Tenant find covers a rental valuation, marketing, viewings and setting up the tenancy, after which the landlord manages the let. Full property management hands ongoing tasks such as rent collection, inspections, compliance and repairs to the agent.
