Guest   #1 Posted July 2, 2013 Hi, I am wanting to rent out a house and unfortunately the company who is finding the tenant has decided not to do the fully managed service anymore.  Can anyone recommend an estate agent who offers a fully managed service at reasonable rates and has had good experiences with them? I am aware there are agencies who don't bother doing a midterm check and really take money for not doing a great deal at all, which sounds frustrating and is really not what I would want from a managed service.  Recommendations, advice and quotes would be welcome - thank you.

Beechwood_S6 Â Â 101 #4 Posted July 3, 2013 Do it yourself - we do. Â definitely go with that option, I've seen a house locally that was rented out for several years and you can tell it had not been checked by anyone as it had a fully grown tree higher than the house, sticking though the front fence 2 foot from the front window. Â Now the tenant has moved on, a whole host of things need doing and the letting agents are carp, having told them twice that a kitchen window was open they still didn't lock it until workman started with the fixing so they didn't the workman did. If it was my house I'd be p-ssed no body had bothered to check the property for so many years. Â Â if you can do it yourself.

There are a few self-help books, plus I'd strongly recommend information sources such as: a. Property Hawk http://www.propertyhawk.co.uk/landlordforum/index.php; and b.
