Letting Agents

[Ron Manager]

Knowing that you lot are a fountain of useful (and sometimes useless knowledge) I'd like to pick your brains...

Has anyone let out their property before and if so can you recommend a Lettings Agent who are particularly good in the Southend area? Also any general hints and tips would be welcome.

Any help gratefully received.

Barratt's are very cheap. 5% to manage your property. If thats the sort of thing you need!

Wilsons Bureau on London Road Westcliff are pretty good having used them to both rent and let. They charge a management fee, arrange regular visits to ensure the property is being cared for, and will transfer the rent minus management fee into the bank account of choice.

There are numerous others in Westcliff & Southend, I have been told that Regis are also very good (think they are based in Warrior Square).

Good luck.

I've had experience of dealing with Regis - they owned the freehold on the first flat I bought in Westcliff. Utter sharks and not nice people to deal with - steer well clear would be my advice.

The best agent in Southend, without a doubt is Scott & Stapleton. Very friendly people and always willing to help. 01702 471155. I thank you.
