What's Involved in Running an Estate Agency?

Running a Letting Agency

Two core service options:

  • Tenant Find (Let Only): Find a tenant, set up the tenancy, and hand over management for a one-off fee.

  • Full Management Service (Fully Managed): Handle everything ongoing — tenant sourcing, rent collection, compliance, maintenance — for a percentage of monthly rent.

Your role will involve:

  • Promoting services to landlords

  • Providing rental valuations

  • Sourcing and matching tenants

  • Viewings & tenant referencing

  • Tenancy paperwork & inventories

  • Rent collection, statements, inspections, maintenance

  • Compliance management

  • Check-ins, check-outs & re-letting

Running an Estate Agency

Your role will involve:

  • Promoting services to vendors

  • Providing sales valuations

  • Marketing properties & sourcing buyers

  • Negotiating sales offers

  • Liaising with buyers & sellers

  • Referring mortgage, insurance & conveyancing services
