As landlords ourselves and having spoken to many other landlords throughout the landlord community, it is commonly felt that letting agents over charge for what they actually do. At Discount Letting Services Direct (DLSD - ) we feel that it's about time that all landlords should have access to a professional letting service that offers affordable services ranging from tenant find to full management, which offer value for money without costly expenses being past onto the landlord.
It is a know fact that 80-90% of home searchers use the internet as their first port of call when searching for property. The days of hiking through the high streets from agent to agent have well and truly gone. Home searchers can now search through thousands of properties with the click of a button within the comfort of their own home. Property portals such as Rightmove.co.uk, FindaProperty.com, PropertyFinder.com, Fish4Homes.co.uk and HotProperty.co.uk have provided an excellent service for not only home searchers but vendors and landlords alike. Property portals have enabled landlords and vendors to place their property in front of millions* of home searchers within their own home through the magic that is the internet.
At Discount letting service direct (DLSD) we have produced an all round letting service that meets the requirements of the individual landlord and takes full advantage of the power of the internet. Whether it's a fully managed service that is required or a tenant find service that cuts out the large costs associated with finding a tenant, DLSD have a produced a service that is tailor made for the UK landlord whatever their circumstances.
The DLSD tenant find service is offered to landlords for ?59 (reduced to ?49 all landlord association members). Within our tenant find service the landlord will achieve an unrivalled level of exposure across the internet for his/her rental property. DLSD rental properties are shown on sites such as Rightmove.co.uk, FindaProperty.com, PropertyFinder.com, Fish4Homes.co.uk, HotProperty.co.uk and a further 246 local websites throughout the UK equating to millions* of viewings by potential tenants. Whilst providing a massive amount of internet exposure DLSD also have a call centre that receives vast amounts of enquiries from potential tenants looking to tenant landlords' properties. All enquiries are sent directly to the landlord along with email enquiries that are generated through the larger property portals. In addition, mail shots of landlords' properties are sent to tenants who have registered to receive property updates of similar properties via Rightmove.co.uk, FindaProperty.com, PropertyFinder.com, and DLSD. To complete our tenant find service we have produced a free landlord's tenancy pack that is sent to all landlords who register their details within the DLSD homepage. Included within our free tenancy pack is all the paperwork that a landlord will need to complete his/her rental agreement.
Many landlords either live to far away from their rental property to look after the property themselves or due to other commitments either work or social just simply don't have the time to be at the beckon call of tenants 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It is with this in mind that we have produced a fully managed letting service with two levels of fees. One of which is our Platinum service and the other is our Gold service. The platinum management service is ideal for landlords who either live a long distance from their rental property or simply haven't got the time to deal with problems involved with the renting out of a property and would rather leave it to the experts. Our Gold management service is great for landlords that require a fully managed service but are restricted to a tight budget. With management fees ranging from 4%-9% the worry of extortionate fees can be a thing of the past.
As a forward thinking letting agent DLSD believe that whilst harnessing the power of the internet and a firm commitment in offering value for money services we have produced a cutting edge letting service that will maximise your property rental returns helping you to make a success of your rental property investment. There is no need to settle for overpriced, second rate services again. Which letting agent would you choose next time you need to tenant your property and maximise your returns?
