The reputation of Letting Agents makes many would-be landlords reticent to put their properties on the market, with concerns about honesty and reliability. Andy Smith of 1st Asset Management (www.1stasset.co.uk) offers his tips on how to navigate the crowded Letting agency markets of Knightsbridge, Belgravia and lettings Chelsea.

“The key thing that will make an agency successful in selling your property is their experience in the market as a whole, and their enthusiasm to sell your property in particular.”

“Choose an established local letting agency with good industry accreditations – such as membership of NALS, and make sure they’re using all the big property portals to market. Go with your instinct – if they’re slow to return calls to you – or seem generally uninterested in you as a client, then imagine how dismissive they’ll be to prospective tenants!”
