Thanks Isabella.

Updad are still not cheap.

I don't need the full letting package.

What I want from them is to help me with my AST and deal with all the deposit and money handling.

Hi, has anyone taken out rental guarantee with legal protection against evictions costs?

I am thinking about taking this out.

Legal for landlords offer a good scheme.

I was wondering what...

Hi, I am thinking about using UPad to advertise my property and do my tenant ref checks.

I don't know how good they are, so I was thinking of arranging my own.

I want to be confident that I've...

Who are they? Can you PM the details.

Thanks

My tenants moving out, so I now have the chance of going with another agency.

I think I'm going to use UPad.

I don't have a copy of that, it would be in their office.

I would have to ask them for it.

Thanks

Hi,

I read through the AST and I can't find anything about giving notice to my agent. I can't even see anything in there about informing the tenant of how to end the contract.

There is also...

The only way I can do it. Is by asking my tenant if she wants to sign up to a new 6 month contract with myself at a slightly lower rental fee. I could use someone like Upad to do a £99 tenant setup...

Fully managed used to be 12% and then they dropped it to the same rate as rent receipt 10%.

So there is no difference between the two.

I've only got the once place and I didn't want to get...

I will look into it all now.

The problem is, my lender says that I have to use an ARLA letting agent. So I went to these high street agents thinking that they were looking after me.

And my...

They offer three services.

Fully managed @ 10%
Rent receipt, @ 10%
Tenant find. @ 6-8%

I might speak to them about dropping down to tenant find.

You pay Orange £36 per month because you get something from them!!

Line rental and call allowances.

I'm getting sweet fa for £80 per month.

I was fairly new to all of this when I signed...

Hi I went through a letting agent in order to let my place.

I had problems with the previous tenant and the same high st agency did very little to help me.

So I told them I will manage my own...

There is a high rise block near me that always has bargain 2 bedrooom flats for sale.

The letting agent told me the price is for cash buyers only.

Because no one can get a mortgage on them....

That's why I'm looking to fix for 5 yrs now or else I will not be able to afford a BTL mortgage in the future.

I will have another look. But most of the time I can find better deals online that Mortgage brokers.

I spoke to ARLA mortgages and the best they could find was a BM Solution deal.
It was a 75% LTV on £112500, around 5.2% and had a £1800 arrangement fee.
My lenders SVR is about 4.99% so I would...

Hi, I have my only property on rent and I managed to get consent to let from my lender about a year ago.

They upped my rate by 1% so I'm now paying about 3.89% on a 2yr 75% LTV.

The problem...

I must admit Upad appear to be better. But you can't always tell.

Did you manage to get your property let through them?

Thanks

Hi have anyone use Upad of Visum?

I want to be able to advertise my site on the leading portals.

Find tenants.

Use the credit agency of my choice

Use AST of my choice.

Thanks that was handy.

Morning.

That's what I mean. I would collect the details from the tenant and then pass them onto an agency.

I managed to find thishttp://www.endsleigh.co.uk/Letting/Pages/letting-agents.aspx...

Hi,

I am planning on changing my mortgage to a B2L and parting with my letting agent.

What I would like to do is get my own tenant.

My agency run a set of credit/history checks on the...

I will do. Nothing is going to be to chance after this. Thanks

Thanks for the advice.
