Letting Agents: Bridging the Gap between Tenants and Landlords

Newsroom 15/11/2021 | 16:27

Shelter or housing is one of the three primary needs that help a man to sustain in this world. However, as civilizations began to evolve so did the type of shelters as well. What started as mere settlements in the prehistoric era is now an industry worth billions and is now known as real estate today, the real estate encompasses any kind of building establishment that man uses for various reasons. 

 

Real estate can be broadly categorized into residential, commercial, and industrial.

 

Residential Property: Your address at the end of the day

In the modern world it usually happens that any individual is usually connected to two major places:

  • The place where they live – Residence
  • The place where they work – Office

 

For any kind of correspondence, a residential address is the only need. Hence, having a residential property either on rent or own, is mandatory for one’s identity proof like passport, driving license, etc.

The post Second World War era witnessed a huge change in the development of residential areas as more and more cities evolved with the renewed economic viability. Earlier residential properties were a black and white subject where the rich would own huge town lots and get them designed by renowned architects and the economically downtrodden ones would be able to occupy only the shanties or tenements for living.

 

Where does a Letting Agent come into the picture?

Continuing with the above discussion, modern residential properties have evolved a lot from the previous boundaries. Today, one can either rent or own any kind of residential property that fits their choice and budget that has proper living conditions. When one is on the lookout for renting residential properties, the letting agents come into the picture.

The internet is flooded with the contacts of authorized and affordable letting agents. For example, you can simply call Payne associates today and get floored with various choices of not only reasonable renting places but also responsible tenants. Letting agents are like those fairy workers that take care of the rental properties for both the landlords and the tenants alike. 

The interesting part is that they work their magic in exchange for a minimal fee, which seems like peanuts against the heckle of finding either an organized tenant or a good landlord.

We all are more or less aware of the benefits landlords get from having a letting agent. They take care of everything with regards to your rental property right from the paperwork to collecting rents at the correct time. However, many are not aware that these letting agents are a friend in disguise for the tenants as well. 

The tenants are usually not aware of the locality or the amenities around the property. The letting agents are kind of a living map of the place they are about to call home. A letting agent also helps to deal with the property when landlords or tenants are unable to communicate directly with each other because of various reasons.
