Tips for Renting & Tenants - Property Guide

Why should I bother using a local letting agent?

Many tenants prefer renting property through a professional letting agent because they know that established local letting agents have many properties to rent in their town(s).

If things go wrong the tenant can rely on a professional letting agent to act as a 'buffer' between tenant and landlord; which can help to quickly resolve problems before they become disputes.

An established local letting agent in the area you’re looking to live in can offer tenants a professional, reliable and personal service such as:

• A comprehensive search in and around the Thanet area to match your requirements.
• Offer a 'Fast and Efficient' credit check, employment and landlord referencing service
• Experienced staff who will keep you up to date with progress.
• Free email and text updates so you don't miss out on your dream property. By registering your specific requirements you will start to receive regular email or text alerts of new properties to rent in your town that match your requirements as they come onto the market.
• Arrange accompanied viewings at a time that is convenient to you to view including evenings and weekends.
• Offer you properties that meet the legal requirements in respect of The Gas Safety (installation and use) Regulations, Fire and Furnishings, Regulations and The Electrical Appliances Regulations.
• Arrange for your deposit to be held securely in a government protected tenancy deposit scheme.
• Manage an inventory and tenancy agreement, check-in/ check out and deal with any difficulties throughout your tenancy
