First Time Letting
Considering Letting Your Property Out for the First Time
If you have any doubt in your mind, don’t worry you are not the first! The majority of people are concerned (rightly so), before letting their property out for the first time. Anything new usually leads to a bit of uncertainty. Let us walk through the most common worries that may be plaguing your mind and explore how we, as seasoned professionals, adeptly manage them, ensuring a smooth and successful letting experience.
1. Property Damage
This is usually people’s number one concern. With any type of letting property damage is something that can happen. However there are a range of ways to mitigate this risk:
- Adequate insurance cover on your property
- Airbnb provides its own “AirCover” which insures up to £1 million in the instance a guest does not pay for damage caused
- Guest Screening - each guest to provide ID and security deposit (if required)
- Short term letting means our team of cleaners will be regularly visiting the property, helping to identify damage which may remain unseen in a traditional longer term let
- Guest reviews - the same way a guest leaves a review on the property, the guests receive a rating from the host which will help to identify any potentially bad experiences
2. Rental Income Stability
Our daily pricing management and marketing strategies are tailored to maintain a steady and reliable stream of income, providing you with peace of mind amidst market uncertainties (our goal is to ensure >85% occupancy rates each month).
3. Neighbourhood disruption
Our management team will provide contact details to any key members of the neighbourhood so we can maintain a transparent amount of contact. We are always happy to do a meet & greet session with the neighbours prior to any lettings going “live”.
4. Tenant Communication
Our professional team maintains open and responsive lines of communication, ensuring guests are promptly attended to and fully informed throughout their stay. So there will be no guest interaction for you to worry about.
