(prHWY.com) January 14, 2012 - London, United Kingdom -- January 2012 - The reputation of London Property Letting Agents and London Property Estate Agents makes many would-be landlords reticent to put their properties on the market, with concerns about honesty and reliability. London and Singapore-based Property Lettings company 1st Asset (
www.1stasset.com.sg) offers some tips on how to navigate the crowded London property market.
Andy Smith, Managing Director of 1st Asset and London Landlord, said: "The key thing that will make an agency successful in selling your property is their experience in the market as a whole, and their enthusiasm to sell your property in particular."
"Choose an established local letting agency with good industry accreditations - such as membership of NALS, and make sure they're using all the big property portals to market. Go with your instinct - if they're slow to return calls to you - or seem generally uninterested in you as a client, then imagine how dismissive they'll be to prospective tenants!"
Look for a London Realtor that focuses on customer service and professional excellence, also is a good idea to understand how much staff turnover they have and how many of their clients use them again. This is particularly important in relation to lettings as this can give you a clear indicator of which companies retain their good staff and provide a service that investors appreciate.
It would also be particularly helpful to look for a company that specialises in providing the service you might require. For example, a landlord living next to the property that is being rented out who is experienced, may need less help and advice in managing their property than say a new Singaporean landlord - who may need furnishings, statutory advice, portfolio management advice, taxation advice, foreign exchange and mortgage advice along with the more usual London property lettings and London sales advice.
Property guru 1st Asset has been fortunate to retain 98% of the clients that have ever used their London Property Services. Andy Smith, Managing Director of 1stAsset, said: "I think that this is a testament to the passion, experience, knowledge and commitment from our staff to World Class London Property Management, Lettings and Estate Agency."
The influx of overseas buyers for London property in the last few years shows that investors see property London to be one of the most valued commodities. It also displays that London property investment to be one of the most important parts of a property investment portfolio.
