Letting-agent services — Estate agent
A letting enquiry should identify the property country, type and whether you need tenant-finding or ongoing management. Describe readiness and access broadly, then agree responsibilities for documentation, checks, maintenance coordination and communications before advertising begins.
Service scope
Agency support for an owner or authorised landlord seeking to let a property, with tenant-finding, setup and continuing management defined separately. Local rental duties and permissible fees differ; appointing an agent must not be described as removing every landlord responsibility.
What is normally included
- Rental marketing and enquiries
- Agreed applicant and tenancy coordination
- Defined ongoing management if included
What is not included
- Guaranteed rental income
- Universal tenancy or fee rules
- Legal possession action automatically included
Typical tasks
- Establish the letting mandate
- Review property-marketing information
- Coordinate viewings
- Arrange agreed applicant and setup steps
- Define management and reporting responsibilities
What to include in your brief
- Property country and type
- Tenant-find or management scope
- Current occupancy
- Property readiness
- Intended letting timeline
Choosing the right professional
Ask for a clear responsibility schedule and transparent fees, including renewal or ongoing charges where relevant. Verify local requirements with the appropriate professional and distinguish agency administration from legal advice, inspections and guaranteed-rent products.
Important considerations
- Landlord duties may remain despite an agency appointment
- Applicant information is sensitive
- Local rental rules and fee restrictions vary
