|---|---|---|
No Let, No Lifestyle Agency Fee plus very competitive fees for a Premium ‘Swift-Let Solution’ Service |
v |
Be wary, many employ numerous Additional Fees (e.g. Exit/ Additional Advertising/ Marketing/ Viewing Fees and some are even upfront fees!) |
Properties are priced correctly in order to achieve a Let and are priced in relation to other local properties - (often very quick indeed) stipulated by our Landards |
v |
Properties are often badly priced simply to get your property on the books, taking longer to Let it – very common-place |
Regional (covering Greater Manchester and Lancashire, Centrally located to maximise efficiency and success – it is a very common misconception that local branches are needed to succeed – local branches are best for getting your business on their books not for Letting houses |
v |
They use local branches to help win new business in from Landards but local branches are actually quite limited in their ability to actually Let your property – 3 out of 4 successful Tenants now find their properties via the Internet, with a large proportion of the remaining successes coming via For Let boards |
Unrivalled and enormous online advertising (local and national) = vast presence and ability to capture (better than any other Agent) the 3 out of 4 successful homemovers who now find their property via the Internet |
v |
Often use much more limited advertising campaigns, sometimes only focusing on offering a local presence for more local enquiries – with much more limited online advertising |
National advertising to capture the ‘out-of- town’ Prospective Tenants who account for a significant proportion of most Letting Agencies Lets |
v |
Limited local advertising often delivers very limited success |
24/7 Enquiry Line (UK-based) meaning we will never miss an enquiry |
v |
Opening hours usually limited to normal working hours, and some days/ half days at weekends = much more limited and less of a service |
Only deal with potential Tenants in a position to proceed quickly – block viewings are also regularly carried out |
v |
Often allow too many time-wasting Viewers (i.e. do not vet viewers to suit landlords needs) to view your property |
