Halls makes exclusive lettings service offer

Halls, one of the UK’s leading independent firms of estate agents, chartered surveyors, auctioneers and valuers, is responding to the high demand for residential properties to rent by offering landlords an exclusive spring deal.

For a limited time, landlords can switch to Halls’ fully managed lettings service from their current letting agent without a fee and the first three months’ commission will also be completely free.

Halls, which has eight offices across Shropshire, Mid Wales and Worcestershire, says such is the demand for rental properties that many are let within a week of being marketed.

The company is offering to handle the switch from existing letting agents “seamlessly and efficiently” for landlords who will then have the first three months of the new fully managed lettings service free of commission.

“Furthermore, we guarantee landlords exceptional service and sterling support every step of the way,” said Sean Edwards, an associate director of Halls based at the company’s Ellesmere office.

“From handling tenant enquiries and maintenance requests, to conducting regular inspections, we take care of every aspect of property management, so landlords don't have to worry. Legal requirements will be met and any issues promptly addressed.

“We are encouraging landlord to take advantage of this limited-time offer, as they have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

“Across all our offices, there is strong demand for rental properties, especially in Wales where there is a severe shortage of stock. New tenancy legislation introduced by the Welsh Government, coupled with an increase in property values, has encouraged many landlords to sell their properties.

“All our offices are experiencing a severe imbalance between the number of high-quality tenants and the number of properties we have available to offer them.

“This is to such an extent that, typically, if we put a rental property on the market on a Monday, we would expect to have 10 people booked in to view within a couple of days, with three or four of them applying to become tenants by the end of the week.”

Landlords can contact Halls online at https://www.hallsgb.com/residential/get-in-touch/ or through the company’s offices in Welshpool, Shrewsbury, Ellesmere, Kidderminster, Whitchurch, Bishops Castle and Oswestry.
