Why Using a Letting Agent to Manage Your Property Just Makes Sense

Why Using a Letting Agent to Manage Your Property Just Makes Sense

Letting a property can be a great source of income—but it can also be a time-consuming and sometimes stressful job. From chasing rent to handling repairs and staying on top of ever-changing legislation, self-managing isn’t for everyone. That’s where a professional letting agent comes in.

At Cairns and Downing Sales and Lettings, we work with landlords across the region to take the hassle out of letting. Here’s why more and more landlords are choosing full property management:

Less Hassle, More Freedom

Managing a property takes time—especially if you’ve got multiple rentals, a full-time job, or you live far from the property. With an agent, we handle everything from tenant communication and maintenance to rent collection, so you don’t have to.

Expert Marketing & Tenant Finding

We don’t just stick your property online and hope for the best. As experienced agents, we know how to market your property to attract the right tenants quickly, reducing void periods and maximising your income.

Thorough Referencing for Peace of Mind

We carry out comprehensive background checks, credit checks, and affordability assessments to make sure your tenant is reliable and financially secure. Our goal is to find someone who treats your property with respect.

Legal Compliance, Covered

Landlord legislation is constantly evolving—and failing to comply can be costly. From gas safety and right to rent checks to deposit protection and  notice rules, we stay on top of the legal side so you stay protected.

Rent Collection & Arrears Management

We collect the rent on your behalf and act quickly if any issues arise. No awkward conversations, no chasing payments—we’ve got it covered.

24/7 Maintenance Support

Things break, boilers fail, tenants call at inconvenient times. With a managed service, we handle maintenance requests swiftly and use trusted local contractors—often saving you money in the long run.

Regular Inspections & Detailed Reporting

We keep an eye on your investment with scheduled property visits, providing written reports so you know everything is in good shape (or if anything needs attention).
