15 July 2009 - Lets Unlimited set to launch an estate agency with a difference
Short term rental initiative
IN these uncertain times it can be very difficult to know exactly when your property will sell - especially if you are reluctant to drop the price or feel that values will rise again in the near future.
Lets Unlimited, who have been successful in the lettings market for more than a decade, are now launching an estate agency and are offering a solution to sellers that is often overlooked.
For people who are not living in their property, or have alternative accommodation, Lets Unlimited offer to rent out the property as a short term let, whilst trying to find a buyer.
Due to their expertise and experience, they have many such properties successfully let to number of excellent short-term tenants.
Likely tenants would include relocating business people who need to move quickly but who have not yet decided on a property.
There are also people who need somewhere for a short period due to building works on their own property, e.g. following a fire or flood, or corporate clients who might want a serviced property for a foreign colleague.
In the current climate, there is also a strong market for people who have sold their own property and want to rent somewhere for a while so they can buy from a position of strength.
Angie Leach, the owner of Lets Unlimited, said: "It is certainly an advantage to have your property occupied during the time it is on the market - not only is security enhanced, but the property is more likely to feel like a home, and therefore be more saleable. Additionally, short term rental returns tend to be much higher than long term lets." "We offer a professional management service, and the contract with the tenants is specifically intended to be used for short term lets, so there is no problem regaining full possession.
What better way of paying the mortgage whilst you are waiting to find a buyer! Who knows - your buyer might already be living there." For more information on how to position your property for a short term let whilst trying to sell, call 01296 668 455.
