Dissatisfied with your current letting agent? Switching now with Valiant Properties is easy .

26/03/2017

We have recently found quite a number of Landlords approaching us who are unhappy or dissatisfied with their current Letting agent, and have been asking us how to go about moving management of their property to us.

If you have a property in Wisbech, March, Kings Lynn or the surrounding areas and are unhappy with your current Letting agent then why not switch?

It may feel like a lot of hassle but we can do most of the work for you.

Below is a step by step guide about how to go about moving from your current Letting agent if you are unhappy with the service they are providing.

Find out how much notice you are required to give your current agent. This is likely to be 1 or 2 months and should be contained within the Terms of Business you signed. If you cannot find it, simply contact them and ask them. Once you have this information, give them the required written notice to end your agreement with them. It will be simplest if your notice ends on a rent due date as it will make the rent payment switching process much easier.

At the time of transfer, you should ask your current agent for the following documentation

 

Tenancy agreement.

 

Referencing paperwork and contact details for existing tenant if a tenancy is currently in place.

 

Details of where the deposit is being held.

 

Property inventory including photographs.

 

All keys.

 

Gas safety certificate (if applicable).

 

Any electrical certificates PAT testing etc. (if applicable).

 

Legionella Risk Assessment.

 

We will contact your current tenant and set up a meeting with them at the property to introduce ourselves and to explain the process going forward.

This will involve them adjusting their standing order to pay us rather than your current agent. The timing of this switch will depend on when the notice you give your current agent expires.

We will send you our paperwork for you to complete and sign.

At the point of taking over management, we would usually produce a new tenancy agreement for the tenant to sign. We feel more comfortable using our own as we know the contents and our legal team have ensured it is up to date.

Congratulations, we are your new managing agent and we are so confident that you will be pleased with our service that we will give you the first 3 MONTHS FREE OF MANAGEMENT CHARGES.
