Looking to Rent a Property? How an Estate Agent Can Simplify the Process

These days, renting a property isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. There are so many things you need to think about before you rent and the actual process can be a nightmare – especially if you go down the private route.

If you’re looking to rent in the not too distant future, an estate agent can help make the process both quick and simple.

A reliable, fast way to find a property

Though there are lots of options open to those looking to rent these days, few match the security and simplicity of using an estate agent.

While renting privately can save you money in fees, it’s actually quite risky going with a private landlord. Why? Because private landlords aren’t regulated, which means you could end up experiencing a lot of problems when renting a property from a complete stranger. Your deposit might not be safe and the letting agreement may not be as legal as you think it is.

An estate agent on the other hand, is fully regulated and has to abide by certain regulations. So, you have great peace of mind that you’re in safe hands and any problems which may crop up along the way will be dealt with for you.

Estate agents also have a lot of available properties at any given time, so you’ll also be able to find your dream rental home quickly.

Offering a wealth of advice and experience

Estate agents also have a lot of knowledge and experience of rentals. This means they’ll be able to advise you on more than just the property. They can tell you about the area and answer any questions you may have.

Many estate agents have also simplified their process by moving it online. Agencies such as Andrews, take advantage of online referencing and online viewing bookings. This eliminates a lot of the stress involved and also speeds up the process too.

If you choose an estate agent with a good reputation, you’ll also find they have high standards for the properties they list. So, you’ll never have to worry about the state of a property when you move in and you can be sure any repairs which need doing will be taken care of in accordance with the legal tenancy agreement.

Overall, while renting through an estate agent may be a little more expensive than renting privately, it does offer far more benefits. If you’re looking to simplify the process, make sure you go through an experienced, trusted estate agency.
