Buy to Let Frequently Asked Questions.

Here are some of the reasons:

Reputation - since we were established in 1997 we have become the market leader across the region and have achieved this through personal recommendation.

Variety - we offer everything from studio flats to substantial executive houses and everything in between. Whether it's £400pcm or £4000pcm we ensure the quality is right.

Coverage - we have 7 high-profile branches offering unrivalled coverage across West and North Yorkshire

Stability - we are the largest Letting Agent in the region, managing a substantial portfolio and employing over 50 dedicated staff. Don't risk your money and property by employing cut-price cowboy agencies who will disappear tomorrow taking your money with them!

Specialists - our only business is Lettings and Property Management - we do not diversify into any other area of the property market unlike most of our competitors. Estate Agents are not Letting Agents!

Experience - with unrivalled combined experience our staff are well-trained, friendly and helpful and across the Company we can offer expertise on all areas of Lettings and Property Management.

Website - our site is continually evolving to incorporate the latest developments, is easy to use and is updated daily. We offer a huge choice of properties. We also use many of the most successful Property Portal sites such as Rightmove and Findaproperty.

Choice - we can offer either a Full Management service or Letting Only. Whichever you choose, the quality of the service will be the same.

Results - we let more properties in one month than some of our competitors let in a whole year and we only let to quality Tenants.

Tenants - access to quality tenants through contracts with Relocation Agencies and large employers throughout the region.

Peace of Mind - we keep ourselves at the fore front of any changes in legislation or trends affecting the market, giving you the assurance you need from a quality Agent.

Professional Qualifications - we have passed the stringent tests required to become members of ARLA (The Association of Residential Letting Agents) and NALS (the National Approved Letting Scheme) thus ensuring that we are accountable and your money is protected.

Dedication - the Directors and staff maintain a hands-on approach to the business, ensuring the best service to our clients.

Tips For Letting Out Your Property

• Choose a specialist in Lettings - Estate Agents are not Letting Agents.
• Always use an ARLA registered letting agent for your peace of mind.
• Fair fees = good service, cut-price fees = half a service.
• Prepare and present your property well to get ahead of the competition.
• Market your property to the right people via the right Agent.

Rent Guarantee and Legal Protection

Protect your income and get legal services and advice included

Although our strict referencing methods minimize the likelihood of you experiencing problems with your Tenants such as non-payment of rent or refusing to vacate the property, there is always a possibility that things could go wrong. Unforeseen circumstances such as losing a job, illness or relationship breakdown could mean that the Tenant is unable to pay the rent.
If you wish to protect yourself against this, Linley and Simpson can offer our Managed clients an insurance policy via Homelet at an exclusive low premium of just 3% of the monthly rent.
The cover includes:

• Reimbursing unpaid rent for up to 12 months (first month excess applies).
• Paying your legal costs up to £50,000.
• Free legal advice during the Tenancy
• up to 50% of the rent paid for 3 months after vacant possession is obtained

We advise over 2000 investors, most of whom have between 1 and 3 properties but also others who have gone on to build up substantial portfolios by buying the right properties in the right locations.

This is where we can help you, by offering detailed advice and provisional rental valuations BEFORE you even agree to buy.

Our local managers and staff know their market and can show you evidence of recent comparable lettings to help reassure both you and your Buy to Let lender. This sort of knowledge is invaluable and can save you many hours research and help you avoid costly mistakes. You can view our huge variety of property to let by visiting our search page.

Our network of branches covering the most desirable locations across West and North Yorkshire will give you the coverage you need to let your property quickly thus avoiding costly void periods.

Linley and Simpson are large enough to offer you the security, professionalism, peace of mind and results that you expect of your chosen Agent but we're also friendly, personal and genuinely interested when you contact us.
