MANAGED LETTINGS DERBY

We act as intermediaries between landlords wanting to rent their properties and tenants seeking to rent accommodation and everything that this involves. Below we've highlighted the key areas managed by our agents from both tenants' and landlords' perspectives.


From a Tenant's Perspective:


1. Property Listings and Viewings:

Our letting agents curate and manage listings of properties available for rent. They also organise and conduct viewings, allowing tenants to inspect properties before making a decision. We ensure our agents are well briefed to provide all the essential details and  information about the property and the local area, enabling potential tenants to make and informed decision on whether or not the property is suitable for them.


2. Application Process:

Once a tenant has informed us of a property they wish to rent, our letting agents handle the application process,. This will include credit checks, reference checks, and verification of employment and income. Our streamlined processes reduces the burden on tenants and can facilitate faster decisions.


3. Tenancy Agreements:

Our letting agents prepare the tenancy agreements which legally bind the tenant and landlord. We ensure that all legal obligations are met while clarifying the terms and conditions of the lease, including rent amount, duration, and tenant responsibilities.


4. Deposits and Payments:

 Our Agents typically manage the collection of the tenancy deposit (usually equivalent to five weeks' rent). They are responsible for safeguarding this deposit in a government-approved tenancy deposit protection scheme. Linked to this is the preparation and signing of the property's inventory and general state or repair which ensures that any damages at the end of the rental period are not attributed to tenants if the issue was already there at the start of the tenancy. They will also oversee ongoing rent collection, ensuring that transactions are documented and transparent.


5. Tenant Support and Maintenance:

 The is an area the Derbyshire Specialists Group excel at. Our letting agents are the point of contact for tenants regarding any property issues, such as maintenance requests or payment queries. Our in-house access to all the major maintenance and remedial trades means that issues are dealt with quickly and efficiently. This trust in service is vital in ensuring that tenancy runs smoothly and that problems are addressed and resolved promptly.


6. End of Tenancy Procedures:

When a tenancy comes to an end, our letting agents assist tenants with the process of moving out, which includes the inventory and property inspections and the return of deposits, where applicable. They will ensure that any disputes over damage or cleanliness are handled fairly and according to the rules outlined in the tenancy agreement.

RENTING PROPERTY MANAGMENT

1. Property Marketing:

Our Letting agents promote our landlords' properties through various channels, including online listings, social media, and traditional advertising. They understand the local rental market and can advise landlords on competitive pricing strategies for maximum occupancy.


2. Tenant Screening:

Our agents are responsible for vetting potential tenants to ensure a good fit for the property. This includes checking credit histories, referencing previous landlords, and assessing income to mitigate the risk of rent arrears.


3. Legal Compliance:

Our letting agents help landlords comply with the extensive array of legislation governing rental properties in the UK. This includes ensuring that properties meet safety regulations, obtaining necessary certificates (e.g., Gas Safety Certificate, Energy Performance Certificate), and keeping up-to-date with changes in rental laws.

  • Do your letting agents help determine the rental price of a property in Derbyshire?

    Yes. We will advise on the rental price of a property through a combination of market analysis, property-specific factors, and demand evaluation. First, we conduct a comparative market analysis by reviewing rental prices of similar properties in the area to ensure competitiveness in the local market. We will also take into account any of the property's unique attributes, such as the number of bedrooms, amenities, condition, and location, which can significantly affect its rental value. 

    Local demand plays a crucial role; areas with high demand and limited supply you may be able to command higher rental prices. We will also take into account broader economic factors, such as inflation rates and housing market trends, which will influence tenants' willingness and ability to pay. We also appreciate that the price must align with your expectations by maximising the return for you the landlord which needs to minimise no occupancy periods.

  • Are there any regulations or accreditation schemes for letting agents in Derby?

    Yes, there are several regulations and accreditation schemes for letting agents in the UK designed to ensure transparency, professionalism, and the protection of tenants and landlords. Letting agents are required to comply with the Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme, which ensures that client funds are safeguarded. Additionally, they must be a member of a government-approved redress scheme, which provides a platform for resolving disputes between agents and their clients. Furthermore, the Tenant Fees Act 2019 places restrictions on the fees that letting agents can charge, aiming to ease financial burdens on tenants. While there is no mandatory accreditation, many agents choose to join professional bodies such as the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) or the National Approved Letting Scheme (NALS), which set industry standards and provide training. These measures collectively aim to enhance accountability and professionalism within the letting industry we we are all for.

  • What fees should tenants expect to pay to letting agents in Derbyshire?

    Tenants in the Derbyshire will pay several fees to letting agents, although recent regulations have sought to limit these costs. Since the introduction of the Tenant Fees Act 2019 in England, the types of fees that can be charged to tenants have been significantly reduced. However, tenants may still encounter certain allowable charges such as a holding deposit, which is typically capped at one week's rent, as well as a refundable tenancy deposit, usually capped at five weeks’ rent for properties with an annual rent less than £50,000. Additionally, tenants may be responsible for fees related to the loss of keys, changes to the tenancy agreement, early termination of the contract, and late rent payments, all of which are regulated to prevent excessive charges. It’s essential for tenants to carefully review the terms outlined and to discuss any areas you may be unsure about. We will happily clartify any points in the agreement to ensure total transparancy and you exactly what is expect of yourselves and us.
