WHY LOOK FOR A LETTING AGENCY?

It makes good financial sense to place your property in the hands of a good letting agent for several reasons.

A committed marketing organisation should achieve higher booking levels than you could ever manage by promoting your property yourself. In exchange for a reasonable commission, you save on the prohibitive cost of going it alone (producing you own brochure in full colour, advertising in the press, postage etc).

An efficient letting agency will employ a team of professionals to handle brochure enquiries and bookings and to collect payments, thus saving you time and enabling you to concentrate on your holiday cottage itself, or your other interest if you plan to be an "absentee landlord".

Knowing what to charge to achieve the highest occupancy and income levels is another decision best taken with the advice of an experienced company. Guaranteed payments and no risk of bad debts from cancellations give additional peace of mind. Reducing stress is as good a reason as any for joining an agency.
