Advice On Choosing A Letting Agent In Glasgow

By Tony Dewar

There are plenty of letting agents in Glasgow to choose from, in fact you are spoiled for choice. Choosing one which matches your individual requirements can be quite daunting.

When you chose to use an external letting agent to manage you property portfolio you are essentially gaining a partner in the company. It therefore should be taken very seriously, let be honest, property isn't cheap so it's very important that you consider certain factors.

Stick To What You Know:

Before making a decision, make a list of companies which are at least in the picture. I always advise people to do this based on what they have heard from people by word of mouth. Bad service travels fast. This allows you to get an idea of what to expect should you decide to use that company.

Another thing to look for is user feedback on the website, testimonials of previous customers saying they received a good quality of service is always a good sign, if they don't have this then stay clear.

Knowledge Of The Area:

In any industry, information which your competitors don't have is obviously an advantage to you, with a letting agent this is also true, someone who knows the area will have a much greater chance of being able to keep your property fully occupied all year round.

If you are looking to have someone manage your properties in the Glasgow area then having a letting agency with an office in Glasgow is a must. While it's possible to get results without having an office in the local area, past results show that you just don't get anything close to the same results in terms of rental price or the total time unoccupied.

Personal Service:

While not all letting agents in Glasgow offer this, it's a real easy way to find the real gold nuggets amongst the many options you have to choose from.

You want to ask the question, "will I get a personal letting expert", as I said not everyone does this but the good ones do. You shouldn't see an increase in price either as with the best ones this comes as standard. - 31904
