Changing management responsibility mid tenancy is something that happens for a variety reasons. Landlords may have been dealing with the management of the property themselves and have found the time required does not fit in with their other commitments, the Landlord may have become unhappy with the service of their current Agent or the current Agent is no longer trading.

Whatever the reason taking over management mid tenancy involves quite a bit of work. An experienced Agent will be able to handle the process with minimum disruption to the Tenant. There are many things to be considered such as making sure the Tenants are informed, arranging new payment details, checking the status of the deposit registration, arranging an inspection of the property, checking all certificates are up to date and ensuring the tenancy agreement has been completed correctly are a few that spring to mind.

Where a Landlord is looking at leaving their current Agent they will need to check the terms and conditions that were agreed to as most Agents will have a cancellation policy built into their agency agreement. This can be a set amount of notice required or a financial settlement to end the agreement. Even if the tenancy agreement has ended, the Agents agreement will still apply and will not end until the Tenant vacates.

If you are considering changing Agent or looking at renting your property out. Contact Shortland Horne to arrange a free consultation. Call 024 76222123 or email lettings@shortland-horne.co.uk for more information.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It

All the staff members, particularly Will and Laura, were helpful, considerate and very experienced they couldn’t be more helpful and straightforward I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.

Having recently gone through the sale process with Shortland Horne I would firstly like to thank you for a truly professional job from the moment I asked you to take over from Purple Bricks to completion. It was a bad decision thinking that the house would just sell without it being marketed properly and that’s what happened the house was just sat there on the internet being clicked at but no viewings. Once Will and the team got involved we had viewings booked in and sold immediately cracking job and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

First class professional service from all concerned with letting my property. From the marketing to the swift letting of my property. We were initially attracted to how Shortland Horne market properties and they did not disappoint! The marketing was a cut above the rest and they took time in showing off the unique features our property has. I would highly recommend Shortland Horne to any Landlord.

I’ve been working with Aaron and Shortland Horne for around 6 months now. Letting various residential properties for us. We have listed 6 properties in this time and all went in a matter of weeks at the prices Aaron recommended. I find the team to be professional and work in a timely manner and happy to go the extra yard on things for you. Most importantly they don’t cut corners which gives me peace of mind.
