In a fast-paced rental market like London, the performance of your letting agent can make or break your rental investment.
Many landlords come to us frustrated by:
- Lack of communication or being left in the dark
- Rent not collected on time
- Repairs not handled professionally or quickly
- Overpriced services and hidden charges
- Inexperienced staff and poor tenant screening
- Failure to keep up with compliance or legal documentation
At London Estate Agency, we’re different. We don’t just take over your property — we transform the experience for you and your tenants.
How We Make Switching Letting Agents Simple
Switching letting agents might seem daunting, but we’ve made the process painless and landlord-friendly.
Here’s how our expert team manages it:
1. Free Agent Exit Consultation
We review your current contract and advise on the best way to terminate it, often without penalties.
Our in-house legal team helps handle communication with your current agent, keeping it professional and efficient.
2. Legal & Compliance Checks
We conduct a compliance audit to ensure your property meets the latest regulations, from EPCs to gas safety and deposit protection. If anything is lacking, we fix it.
3. Tenant Communication & Retention
Your tenants are notified professionally and reassuringly, ensuring no confusion or concern about the switch.
We introduce ourselves, reassure them, and set expectations from day one.
4. Takeover of Documents & Keys
We liaise directly with the old agent to collect all documentation, inventories, compliance certificates, and keys. You don’t lift a finger.
5. Rent Collection with Rent Protection
Our Tenant Screening & Rent Protection services ensure reliable rent payments, and our accounting system gives you real-time visibility.
We also offer legal cover in the event of disputes.
