People still want to be landlords, says the director of an Essex lettings agency, and he thinks they will be looking for more value from their managing agents.
“We’re finding a lot of overseas landlords aren’t concerned about Brexit and we haven’t seen any slowdown in them buying properties to let,” says Jordan Axten, Head of Operations at Regent Property.

Consultant Christopher Watkin advises letting agents to take a "completely different" approach to winning new landlords.

Getting your whole team involved in adoption of technology early on in the process will increase staff buy-in and ensure your new software being used to its best effect.

Successful letting agencies are those that are constantly analysing and improving their processes and could help agencies to create higher-value tenancies and grow their managed portfolios.
