New service to help Telford landlords over festive season
Bosses at a Telford letting agent today launched a free service for the month of December to help landlords find tenants in a bid to avoid their properties being left empty over Christmas which normally results in a loss of income.
It is hoped the ‘Free Tenant Find’ service on offer by Annabel Church Lettings will save landlords hundreds of pounds at a time when cash flow can be difficult.
Gary Preston and Aidan Forth who run the letting agency from their office on Halesfield have also introduced a new on-going management service that reduces traditional costs by 60 per cent to just four per cent.
Mr Preston said: “Both Aidan and I are very much aware that December is one of the most difficult times of the year to find tenants for properties so landlords are at a much higher risk of their property being left empty and their income significantly reduced.
“This is problematic for all landlords. As we work with many landlords, some who own one property other hundreds, we’re obviously aware no one likes empty properties, even more so at this time of year.
“We know that every penny counts so we hope the Free Tenant Find service we are offering will offer some support to landlords across the borough.”
Mr Preston said they had new clients contacting them every day looking for properties, which has resulted in some properties being let within 48 hours of them becoming available.
“Landlords are serious business people who are in the industry to make money like all other businesses across the county so to lose what may be their only form of income in December could have devastating consequences.
“We hope our new free festive season service goes some way in helping to ease any burden they may have previously otherwise faced by having an empty property and being forced to pay high management service fees,” he added.
