Worried about rent arrears? Relax!
Tuesday, October 25, 2016
Rent arrears are a real concern for many landlords across the UK. Recent research shows that 32% of landlords say they have experienced rent arrears in the last 12 months as around 67,000 households are struggling with severe rent arrears across England and Wales. Increased pressure on household budgets, unemployment or ill-health can all affect a tenant’s ability to pay their rent and can’t always be predicted. But whether you are an experienced landlord or new to the lettings market, you can make sure that rent arrears don’t keep you awake at night. With The Frost Partnership you can relax, knowing we’ve got it covered.
By using a reputable, ARLA licensed lettings agent, you’ll find protective measures in place for the duration of the tenancy providing you with total peace of mind. The Frost Partnership uses an independent referencing process to check potential tenants are suitable and, whichever level of service you choose - Let Only, Rent Collection or Full Management - we offer a full 12 month rent guarantee and legal protection plan free of charge, something you are unlikely to find with most other local lettings agents. So you know that your rental income is guaranteed, regardless (just one month excess is payable).
With Frosts, you’ll have trained agents on hand with up to date practical advice and professional guidance. We adhere to the Code of Practice and Rules of Conduct laid down by ARLA and provide you with the highest standards of professional service throughout the letting and management of your property. Your money is protected by ARLA’s Client Money Protection Scheme, your agent has Professional Indemnity Insurance and you can redress the situation by taking the matter up with ARLA in the event that should something go wrong. Membership of ARLA is achieved only by agents who demonstrate a thorough knowledge of their profession and conduct their business according to current best management practice.
Chris Cotton, Lettings Manager for Middlesex at The Frost Partnership explains, “We’re an independent family owned network with commitment to quality service and a full range of lettings services. In-depth local market knowledge and an extensive database of quality tenants allows us to achieve the highest possible rental figure for our landlords, whilst our local presence means we are there when tenants need us too.”
