5 easy steps to becoming a landlord

Mortgage

Ensure you have a ‘buy to let’ mortgage or consent from your mortgage company. Our mortgage team can advise if you are unsure, or need to switch policies.

Consent

If your property is situated within a development you will need to confirm consent with the management company that you can let your property.

Insurance

Inform your current home insurance provider you are considering letting your property and they will advise. We can assist in getting comparable quotes from specialist landlord insurers if required.

Valid EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)

Gas & Electric safety certificates

To prove everything is in order.

Andrew and Louise can organise checks for the EPC, gas and electric certificates on your behalf, and put you in touch with members of the wider Poole Townsend team to assist with mortgage and insurance queries. We’re available to offer as much support as you need. Letting property doesn’t need to be a headache!

Service options

Once we’ve valued and checked documentation you can choose which Poole Townsend service level best suits your requirements. We offer three, covering the basics for finding tenants to a full management option.

Let Only

Ideal for those who have the time or want to take an active role in managing their property.

On our let only package we will find you a tenant and set up the tenancy for you to then take over all areas of management, maintenance and legal compliance.

Let Only Plus

Suitable for those who prefer to look after their own portfolio, but would like the option of assistance on some legal, maintenance or contract management.

Again we act as a tenant finding service and set up your agreement with you to then manage. You can then purchase additional services as and when required. These may take the form of electrical surveys, inventory checks at handovers or mid tenancy inspections.

Fully Managed

Perfect for those who want to hand over all responsibility of their property.

As the name suggests we look after every aspect of your letting from finding tenants to legal compliance, deposits to disputes and emergencies to scheduled maintenance.

Looking to expand your portfolio? Let us help.

As a lettings agency within an estate agency we can advise on potential investment opportunities that may fit your brief as soon as they come onto the market with Poole Townsend. We can also advise on valuations, work required and potential rental income for properties listed with other estate agents before you proceed with an offer.

FAQs

Why should I use an agent?

Agents have an excellent grasp of the local property market and can assist landlords in achieving good rental incomes, ensure they comply with changing legislation and offer hassle-free property management to a level they need for their portfolios.

Should I offer my property furnished or unfurnished?

There are pros and cons for each option. Rental return, continuation of tenancy, maintenance and wear and tear of furnishings can all impact on the management of your rental property. Andrew and Louise can advise on your particular property given its location and expectations from tenants.

How to handle deposits?

All tenancy deposits now need to be held by a recognised deposit agency so they are protected. Deposits need to be registered within 30 days of receipt and returned within 10 days of both parties agreeing the amount to be returned. When Poole Townsend is employed as the landlords managing agent we take the deposit and register it with our chosen supplier, The Dispute Service.
