The Letting Agent

What makes us different? We genuinely care about providing a highly professional and reliable service to both our landlords and our tenants, whilst still maintaining the personal touch. We believe that it is vital to build a good relationship with our clients, based on trust.

We will deliver the service that we promise at an affordable cost. By keeping company overheads low, we are able to pass these savings on to our clients, making our fees extremely competitive. Please be assured, lower fees do not mean we compromise on the standard of service provided. We use local, reputable contractors for our property management, again keeping costs lower and service levels high.

Owner Julie Coffey has established The Letting Agent after working in the lettings industry in Dorset for over ten years and successfully setting up and managing branches for two large Lettings companies.

Drawing from her extensive experience, Julie has established what it is that clients want and need from their Letting Agent and this is what The Letting Agent will provide. Key points that we believe are important to our clients:

* Excellent communication – Building and
maintaining relationships
* Maximum exposure for your property to
ensure that it is let quickly to the right tenant
at full market value
* Delivering what is promised
* Prompt and efficient service
* Locally based property management, using
local, reliable contractors
* Locally based accounts service
* Competitive Fees

At The Letting Agent we LET properties, we do not sell properties. This therefore makes us quite unique in the industry in that we are able to offer completely unbiased and independent advice when it comes to Buy To Let purchases. Julie has considerable experience in this field and is happy to help you look through sales details from any estate agent, advising which ones have the best letting potential and the rental yield you can realistically achieve.

Julie is ARLA trained and qualified - NFOPP Level 3 in Residential Letting & Property Management (QCF). ARLA defines and controls the profession's training and examination programmes. The industry qualification, The Technical Award in Residential Lettings is comprehensive and demanding and has greatly enhanced the standing of the profession and those qualified and practising within it.

The Letting Agent is a member of the Property Redress Scheme (PRS). The Scheme is authorised by the Department of Communities and Local Government to offer redress to consumers of Letting and Property Management Agents under the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013.

We are also registered with the Deposit Protection Service (DPS) Custodial Scheme. The DPS will safeguard the deposit throughout the period of the tenancy and repay the funds to the appropriate parties. All funds are ring fenced and held in accordance with client money regulations.
