Introduction (Using an agent)

If a landlord decides to get help with managing a property, there are at least four potential options:

• Letting Only
• Letting and Rent Collection
• Full Management
• Rent to Rent contract

This course explains more about the options. It also explains the liability of both landlord and agent and the responsibilities of either party in a contract.

 

Scottish Agents – If a landlord uses an agent to manage his properties in Scotland that agent must be registered along with the landlord himself under the provisions of the Anti-Social Behaviour (Scotland) Act.

Welsh Agents –  If a landlord uses an agent to manage his properties in Wales that agent must be licensed along with the landlord himself and his properties being registered under the provisions of the Housing (Wales) Act 2014.
