Looking to let but don’t know who to trust?
Friday, January 27, 2017
Whether you’re abroad or living locally, it’s important to leave your lettings property in safe hands. With unscrupulous agents in the news, it’s reassuring to know that there are lettings agents who can be trusted to look after you and your property. Membership of ARLA (the Association of Residential Lettings Agents) is only achieved by agents with a thorough knowledge of their profession and who conduct their business according to current best practice. By using a licensed ARLA agent, like The Frost Partnership, you have trained agents giving you up-to-date, professional advice and impeccable service throughout the letting and management of your property.
When you instruct The Frost Partnership, not only is your money protected by ARLA’s Client Money Protection Scheme; we have Professional Indemnity Insurance too. When it comes to health and safety, it’s vital to abide by ever-changing legislation, to protect your tenants and avoid potentially serious accidents. By law, for example, all properties that are tenanted must have a fitted and working smoke alarm on each floor of the property. Additionally, in any room with solid fuel appliances there must be a carbon monoxide or joint smoke/CO alarm fitted. The Frost Partnership will ensure you are kept up to date with any changes in legislation and assist you in meeting your obligations as a landlord.
Our company philosophy is “looking after people and property” and we do exactly that with 3 tiered service options to meet your needs, 24 hour emergency property management and a 12 month FREE rent guarantee (subject to tenant checks and one month excess). With all this in mind, it’s a good idea to double check that your “trusted” agent is ARLA licensed, offering you peace of mind as a landlord.
If you are looking to place your property on the market and would like to have the best ARLA qualified lettings team looking after you and your property, please contact your local Frost office.
