Safety

The safety and well being of the tenant is regarded as a priority issue. If the property that is being let has gas, then a CORGI registered engineer must check this annually. Furthermore, it is compulsory that a tenant be given a copy of the ‘Gas Safety Record’ before the start of the tenancy. It is claimed that an ARLA agent keeps up to date with all legislation and ensures that landlords maintain the law, thus ensuring that the tenants are guaranteed total safety.

A Letting Agent that has had many years’ experience in this role also tends to be a ‘first choice’ both with Landlords and Tenants.

It is claimed too that a Letting Agent who specialises in ‘lettings’ should likewise constitute a ‘first choice’ for both Landlords and Tenants.

‘Letting’ is described as a ‘complex business’ and it is recommended that Tenancy Agreements that comply with the recommendations of the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) be undertaken. Many years of experience is considered to equip a Letting Agency with the ability to cope with any typical problem that might arise within the ‘letting sphere’.

The role of a Letting Agent is both demanding and rewarding. And a pattern of continued successful outcomes in this field represents a valuable contribution to the community.
