Lets2Let - run by a Private Landlord for Landlords
Lets2Let - Nottingham
Lets 2 Let is run by a Private Landlord and who acts as a Private Letting Agent for other Landlords with properties in and around Nottingham. Accredited by EMLAS for our own properties and members of the NLA - Lets2Let has public liability and professional indemnity insurance - to protect us and the Landlords whose properties we manage.
We look after our houses, other Landlords houses and tenants with the same care and urgency as if they were our own properties.
Professional Indemnity Cover from Simply Business
Public Liability : £1,000,000
Professional Indemnity : £50,000

We know what it feels like to have a house that is empty with the on going costs of a mortgage and no rent to make a modest profit - so we will always give the same urgency to finding a tenant whether the house belongs to us or not.
Like most landlords that use letting agents (especially those new to letting) our worst fears was having a tenant sitting in our property, not paying rent and leaving it in a total mess after many months trying to evict them with huge legal costs and unpaid rent !!
Well no one can guarantee that this could never happen - but as a Private Letting Agent (and a Private Landlord) we felt a lot happier knowing that we had taken all reasonable precautions to minimise the risk. We take full references from employers and previous Landlords and carry out full credit checks of any potential tenant by a referencing agency and together with my own "gut feeling" of 25 years of managing factories (employing up to 200 people) all helps to minimise the risk of taking on such a bad tenant.
So far our diligence has been successful ......
We are now offering what we have learned to the benefit of other private Landlords with properties to let in Nottingham and a service that we think is a very competitive, reliable and has that personal approach.
Our overheads are low as we have no show rooms, shops or employ any staff - so we can offer a service that is personal and reliable at a very reasonable cost.
We will advise and look after your properties to the same standard as our own - and we will only take on properties of a standard that will not threaten our commitment to providing a quality service to Landlords and the tenants.
We will advise in advance of any costs of maintenance and apply common sense, due care and diligence to the managing of your property.
We do not have any hidden commissions with any suppliers / tradesmen we use - as is the case with many agencies. This is because - as Landlords - we always felt that was an incentive for even more maintenance than was necessary and prevented getting the best price!
Unlike a commercial agency prospective tenants (and Landlords) can ring us up to 10pm in the evening or email us and get a quick reply. If for any reason I cannot answer a phone call immediately - I will always ring back.
We are happy to offer advice on how to find a tenant for your property based on what we would do if that property was ours - all advice we provide is purely based on our own experience - we never claim to have any formal legal training and would always recommend that any advice of a complex nature should be checked with a legal expert.
I do not really classify myself as a "Letting Agent" in the generally accepted terms as I do not have a main street shop window with receptionist etc (so my overheads are low to enable me to provide a service at a realistic price) but theoretically (and the tax man says) that the fact that I take a fee (a percentage of the rent taken) then technically I am a "Letting Agent"!!
So to differentiate myself from the high street commercial letting agent - I call myself a Private Letting Agent and have named my business Lets2Let.
So as a Private Letting Agent - Lets2Let provides a personal service - you will always speak to me - no receptionist or no different administrator each time you contact us - and I will always ring you back if I miss your call.
I am not suggesting you finish with your letting agent immediately but why not let me try to let your property as well as your current letting agent in Nottingham.
Lets2Let fully manages your property for just 9% fee and a reduced tenant finding fee of £125 (no vat) which includes advertising on the following websites:-
There are no other fees - no admin fees - no visit or call out fees.
All properties:- have valid EPC (Energy Performance Certificates), up to date Gas Safety Certificates, have hazard and fire risk assessments, regular maintenance inspections, smoke alarms fitted and many fitted with CO alarms, fire extinguishers and fire blankets.
All tenancies:- have NLA (National Landlords Association) approved tenancy agreements, full and agreed inventory checks at the beginning of the tenancy, have deposits lodged with the government approved DPS (Deposit Protection Scheme) and have comprehensive tenant information packs.

Apart from the visitors viewing our properties on our own website we also advertise your property on these websites as well :-
Benefits of becoming a Private Letting Agent:-
The concept of Landlords supporting other Landlords is not new - but we invite other Landlords to set up as a Private Letting Agent for their particular part of the UK - who may have several properties of their own and who have the knowledge and experience of letting and managing properties to provide this service to other Landlords in that area who may not wish to get too involved.
The Internet is a vital tool for the Private Letting Agent to find Landlords with properties to let and to find good tenants to fill those properties - Lets2Let provides a basic but proven style of website and hosting for the website at a realistic price with advice and support in advertising across the Internet but homing in to your "territory".
Also benefits include:-
you have an opportunity to earn some income from utilising your knowledge base and experience
you operate in a convenient area of about 30 minute max travelling radius
you will have a ready made website and proven website format supplied
you will have a unique domain name based on the area you support supplied
you will get the technical support in maintaining your website - or we can provide full maintenance of your website
you decide how many houses you want to manage based on the time you have available
ideally you will be either Accredited or working towards Accreditation status.
you don't need a high street shop window or need any staff
you manage the advertising costs to your budget - we can advise on cost effective methods to advertise - many at zero cost
BUT to use the Lets2Let name a Private Letting Agent .... must work and provide a service to the same high standard that has been practiced in Nottingham ..... ask Landlords and (most) tenants of the houses we manage.
So if you are a Landlord with the time and knowledge to support and manage other Landlords properties through an affiliation and support from Lets2Let then please contact me at steve@Lets2Let.co.uk or with the form above.
