Has your current Agent been underperforming?

Are you tired of chasing the same matter but getting no response?

Maybe it’s time to move your tenancy to Brookdale Property.

Your current Agent will have you believe that this is a very complicated process as they seek to retain your business. We handle 10 -20 ‘Take On’ tenancies per year. The process is not complicated, and we are here to help you every step of the way.

Your first step is to give our marketing team a call. There are a few points that we need to run through with you to help try to smooth the way – not surprisingly some agents will try their best to be as unhelpful as they can with the transfer, but we can give you advice, so you start off in the best possible manner.

You will need to check the small print on your contract with your current agent but generally most agents ask for two- or three-months’ notice. This is where you start.

We will ask you/your agent to send paperwork in advance so that we can be as prepared as possible for the take-on. Usually this occurs in the final two weeks of the transfer. We’ll visit your tenants to arrange rental payment to ourselves and to take details so we can add the property to our database.

On the day of transfer, we’ll collect any hardcopy paperwork and keys held from your previous agent. Usually this just leaves the transfer of the deposit – most of the time this is a simple transfer between deposit accounts.

Once the deposit is successfully transferred, we visit your tenants again – this time we issue them with all the necessary paperwork in case something has been missed previously and an inspection is carried out.

That really is all there is to this.

So, if your current agent is causing you concerns, please call our team on 01733327788 – even if the transfer is something you are just mulling over at present, we’ll be happy to give you some advice.

Cost for the take-on varies depending on the level of work that is involved though this never exceeds our standard “Initial Let” Fee of £200 + VAT (£240 inc VAT).
