Our Services
Here’s how The Letting Bureau could help your letting business:
Low, flexible costs
You don’t need to buy, rent, update or maintain any software – a computer with broadband internet connection and a printer are all you need. You simply use Letting Bureau online service and pay for what you use – a small fee for each tenancy activated and rent processed. The system is easy and intuitive, so there isn’t even any need for expensive training.
Comprehensive and efficient
Aside from marketing properties and physically maintaining them, Letting Bureau provides everything you need to run a letting business, including an easy-to-use accounting function which will save you hours of admin time every week. Letting Bureau is designed to suit every letting operation whether a one-man-band or multiple branch agency.
Simple to use
The software is simpler to use than any other on the market, designed specifically around a clear understanding of letting agents’ needs and skill levels.
Accurate and efficient
All documentation is provided and held online, and all activities and transactions recorded online, so there is a ‘single source of the truth’, accessible from anywhere. Software upgrades are automatic and free, so no installation delays or version problems.
Real hands-on support
Take up our Bespoke Service, and our expert staff will be on hand to provide all the administrative back up, expertise, support, technical knowledge that you need to promote and sell lettings with confidence. Enthusiasm and good software are often not the only requirement for a successful letting operation. We can help you avoid the pitfalls of defective paperwork and understand the various legal obligations of landlords and tenants. Legislation is constantly changing and errors or omissions can prove costly as well as damaging to your reputation. Our in-house helpline is manned by experienced professional letting practitioners and is supported by Dutton Gregory, one of the leading firms of solicitors specialising in landlord and tenant issues.
Industry compliance
Letting Bureau systems are fully compliant with industry regulators codes of practice and membership requirements.
and it doesn’t stop there…
Tenant referencing
We believe it’s quality rather than speed that counts when it comes to tenant references. So while we provide tenant referencing and credit check reports as quickly as possible, we will not compromise on quality. Waiting an extra day for a reference is a small price to pay for securing quality tenants. All applications are thoroughly checked by trained and experienced staff.
We are authorised by two of the UK’s top credit referencing agencies, Equifax and Experian, to carry out credit searches, address confirmation, electoral roll checks and bank account validation on their databases for every application. Income and employment details going back up to three years are verified – in writing, as are landlord references. We also verify work permits and visas of applicants from overseas, and check passports.
