Too many landlords endure poor service when it comes to the management of their property portfolios because they feel like leaving their current agent would be more hassle than it’s worth.
But the truth is, transitioning to a new property agent can be a lot easier than you might expect and significantly more rewarding.
At Rocket, we’re here to dispel the myths around switching agents and guide you through the benefits and process of making a switch.
As for how it works, if a landlord agrees to let us take charge of negotiations, they simply need to send one email, which we'll prepare for them. From there, we handle everything else.
We will then keep the landlord updated and explain what has been negotiated, but we guarantee that they will not have to pay any more in fees than they currently are.
At Rocket, we’ve successfully helped dozens of landlords switch over to our property management services hassle-free.
We recently negotiated a deal with a bigger agent in London to assume management of a landlord’s properties, who told us they wanted to make a change.
In this case, we will handle all aspects of management and accept a lower fee for the duration of the existing tenancy, before managing the reletting process, so it will have no impact on the landlord’s costs.
There have been a few situations where landlords wanted to move their properties over to us, but after looking at it, financially it didn’t make sense.
So, we have advised the landlords to stick with their current agent for the time being because we’re committed to always acting in the best interests of landlords whether it benefits us or not.
We’ve had several situations, however, where landlords have become so disillusioned with the poor service of their current agent that they serve notice on the tenants to get out of the contract.
And on a number of those occasions, we have then been able to relet the property quickly and for a higher rent, resulting in the landlords earning more than if they had remained with their previous agent.
So, if you’re a landlord and you want to switch agents, there are always ways to do it and here at Rocket, we’re ready to provide you with a more diligent, professional and affordable property lettings and management service.
