If you’ve assumed that it’s a long and difficult process to move properties from one letting agent to another, you’re not alone. This is a common misconception.
Where you have a tenant in place – especially if your current agent found that tenant – you may assume that you can’t change letting agent and keep your tenant. In truth, you can. You’re not tied to your current agent for the duration of your tenancy (or you definitely shouldn’t be, if you’re working with a reputable agent).
If you want to change letting agent and keep your tenant, you can.
For example, if you want to work with us, our hassle-free property management transfer service, Homesure Switch, makes it easy. You can switch letting agents, to Homesure, in one easy step. It can, and should, be that simple to move to the property management agent of your choice.
Is it difficult to change letting agent with a tenant in situ?
In short, no. It’s like any of those admin tasks that we put off – changing banks, switching insurance provider etc. It feels like it’s going to be a pain of a job until you actually bite the bullet and do it.
As a nation, we’re good at sticking with what we know, whether it’s the best option or not. Three in five British people have had the same bank account for over 10 years. Twenty three percent have never switched energy provider! Offers, deals and the better options may have come and gone in that time, but something keeps us clinging to the familiar.
Know what happens when you finally decide to make a change? Generally, you discover that it’s way easier than you expected. Whether it’s your utilities provider or your bank account, the company you move to wants your business. Most will do their best to make the change as painless as possible.
