SELECTING AN AGENT

When looking for an agent it’s always good practice to do some background checks.

Things you may want to consider include: their reputation in the local area and how long they have been in business, memberships they have, number of properties on their books, how they will promote your property, where they promote and perhaps most importantly, do they have an in-house property management team to effectively look after your property and tenants.

OFFERING YOUR PROPERTY TO THE MARKET

Having such a strong reputation in the local area means the very best tenants are already on our books and actively looking for your property. In addition to offering your property to our list of prospective tenants we will also on all the leading property web portals as well as other means of advertising.

We will get these tenants through your door, you must make sure your property is clean, well maintained and is inviting the moment they walk in the door. Some Landlords will enlist the help of professionals to maybe spruce up the garden or get some much needed decoration done before they open their doors to prospective tenants.

An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), Gas Safety Certificate (if your property has a gas supply) and an Electrical Certificate all are legal requirements in the UK we will require prior to renting the property.  Red Roof Online can look after these mandatory requirements on your behalf;

OUR TENANTS

What makes Red Roof Online so successful are our tenant vetting procedures. We will ensure only the most trustworthy and reliable tenants are put forward for viewings. Our extensive backgrounds checks will look into the tenants immigration and employment status, perform a credit check on them and we will also obtain thorough references from their former Landlords.

VIEWINGS

We will conduct viewings of your property on your behalf. One of our local agents, with your property file in hand, will show prospective tenants around your property whilst highlighting your properties key features and plus points.

THE OFFER

We’ll then use our negotiating skills to get the best price along with the best tenant.

Once we receive an offer for your property, we will submit this along with information detailing a proposed move in date, a fact file of the tenant highlighting their employment details, their income and their references.

THE TENANCY AGREEMENT, PROPERTY INVENTORY AND TENANT CHECK IN

Once you are happy with the tenant the next stage is for all parties to sign the Tenancy Agreement. We will then proceed to collect the deposit and 1 months rent in advance. Once all their references are checked, the next stage is to get the Tenancy Agreement signed and the first month’s rent and deposit collected. We register the deposit with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme a government approved deposit protection scheme.

We advise our landlords to carry out a full inventory before letting out their properties. Although this is not a legal requirement, should a claim against the deposit arise it would be difficult for the landlord or agent to win. It is therefore strongly encouraged that our Landlords have a detailed Inventory plus a check in and check out report completed on a property.

WHAT NEXT

Although it may seem like everything is complete now, our work is not. After all the contracts have been signed, tenants vetted, deposits collected and the tenant has moved in to your property, we will continue to keep your property under our vigilant eye. We will conduct regular property inspections and we can also ensure rent is collected on time, each and every time.
