advice on good real estate agents to let and manage a property

[local2bellenden]

Hi local neighbours. I have a lovely to flat to rent locally in ED/peckham borders, and would like any experience any of you have with local real estate management companies? Have been using Winkworths but have found them unreliable. Does anyone have any experience of KFH or other good agents to find tenants and then manage rental property? Advice appreciated!

Hi Local2 I recently let my 2 bed flat through findaflat.com, after a friend recommended it to me. Had lots of interest, and paid no fees what so ever. I manage the property, which is no big deal, and i did all the referencing myself. Found some great tenants, within 2 days of listing. I also listed on here and through gumtree, and despite saying no agents please, they kept calling and hassling me. I trialled a couple for a few days, but decided to take the property off them, when they were trying to get me to reduce the rent, in order to get the property rented. So my experience of agents was pretty negative, try it yourself, its a bit of work on your part, but the saving on the fees, clinched it for me.

Hope that helps, good luck.

Thanks so much for this. I actually need someone to do all the leg work as I'm currently living abroad. Have managed it all myself in the past, but need someone now. But thanks!!

I would highly recommend Sally at http://www.branchproperties.co.uk, she is in the process of letting out a flat we have and has been incredibly helpful and a pleasure to work with.

Hi local2bellenden, Higster's wife here, yes they do. The lady (Sallie) who runs it has years of property management experience, but this is a new company that she has recently started up. She is a really lovely lady. She is doing everything needed to rent out our flat in Sydenham, she is finding us the tenants, taking up references and doing the rental agreement. Sallie is also arranging for the necessary gas safety certificates and will be managing the flat for us.
