Letting your property with Mortlock & Joyce

You have landed here as you are most likely thinking of renting out your home or potentially buying a property to rent.

Whether you are a first-time or an experienced landlord, we are here to help. Renting a property has a two-step process: finding a tenant who is going to look after one of your biggest assets and then making sure that property is safe for the tenant.

The rental sector has constantly changing legislation and it is vitally important to know what your responsibilities are, and by using and choosing the right agent, you share those responsibilities.

It is usually best to organise two or three valuations for your property, that way you can usually find who offers the best strategy to sell your home and employ someone you feel comfortable with and can guide you on the legislation (as there is a lot).

What we have found is, the main gripe with estate agents is communication. This is one of the things where we consider ourselves different from most of the competition. We feel one of the best ways to communicate is by setting up a WhatsApp group between all parties during the process and continuing if they choose us to manage the property. However, everybody prefers different types of communication so this can be agreed from the outset, whether it be by phone, email, or text. Either way, we always respond and update.

Two heads are better than one. We are two experienced estate agents that share the same core values and bring different skills. You will deal with Peter or Jon, the business owners, from our first meeting to checking smoke alarms on check-in day, and beyond; the other acting as a supportive role.

Hopefully the above has been useful, we are estate and letting agents but also see ourselves as property consultants and are both happy to give you some advice, whether you are just at the start of your journey or you have already instructed another agent.
