[quote][i]Originally posted by Aaron[/i] [quote][i]Originally posted by Jimbothebarbarian[/i] Thanks for the information, very helpful. How do you find the agents to deal with? Is it worth the 9% hit for an easier life? Just out of interest how many properties do you have? [/quote] I use a company called Reeds Rains as the management, who i think are a national estate agent. I've bought two properties via them, and i thought they were pretty good. You'll find that most large-ish highstreet estate agents have a lettings managemnt arm, but i think the usual fee is more like 12% Personally speaking i dont mind the 9% for the peace of mind that they're dealing with everything for me, however, as you can see above...managing it yourself also works if you have the time. My philosophy is to get good tenants in my properties and keep them in. Because of this, i offer my tenants rent discounts for the month or Decemner of January (their choice). The tenant in my mortgage free flat gets pretty much a free month, and the ones in my house with a small mortgage just cover the cost of my mortgage payment for their cheaper month. Another thing i do is put together a welcome hamper for when they arrive. Most recently i spent about 15 quid on stuff like tea bags, crisps, biscuits and cleaning stuff and popped it all in a picnic basket type thing. Turns out that they loved it.
