We thought you might be interested to know that we recently let a three bedroom apartment. We completely appreciate that’s perhaps not that interesting in itself (it is what estate agents do!), but we did manage to make some people happy in the process.
Our landlord was happy because we let the property very quickly and charged him a fixed fee. He saved hundreds of pounds compared to the fees that he would have paid to the other agents who were marketing the property. He also thought our communication throughout the process was “great”, and even said that we provided the “best service I have ever received from an estate agency”.
So, we’re pretty sure he’s happy.
Our tenants were also happy, because they didn’t pay the ridiculously high tenancy administration fees which some agents charge. In fact, they paid just £50 each, plus the cost of the inventory check in. If they stay on for a further year or so, they’ll also be happy that they won’t be paying a renewal fee because we believe that this kind of ‘money for old rope’ practice is something which makes people unhappy.
We’d dearly love to make many more people happy, and with the fixed fees we charge to not only landlords but to sellers too, we think there’s a fair chance of that.
