The benefit of using a local letting agent to manage your rental property

It may sound obvious, but local estate agents come with unrivalled local knowledge.


All of the Allen Residential staff grew up and still live in the local towns and villages, allowing them to give advice on the local area and property market based on their own personal experiences. 



When dealing with your rental property; one of your most valuable assets it is imperative that the company looking after your property has local knowledge to detail the various benefits of a property and the local area.

A personal relationship 


Renting out your home is an incredibly personal, and at times emotional experience.

It is important that you have the accountability of the staff but also the regularity of contact with the same person when dealing with your property.

At Allen Residential you will always be dealing with the same people, from the point of instruction to let the property to conducting viewings and then day to day management of the property once let.



The importance of using a local letting agent


While it may seem that the whole world is online these days, there are still many things that will need attending to during your rental that simply cannot be dealt with by an outside company.

If there is an emergency callout or maintenance issue then a local estate agency will be immediately on hand to deal with any issues that may occur.

All of the Allen Residential staff live locally to the office and indeed the owner of the company James Allen lives only 3 miles away.

James was born in the village of Paulton and has worked in the local property industry since the late 1990s giving him a wide and varied experience of the local area including the various contractors who would be on hand to assist with any emergency call out to your property.

We work with a wide and reliable group of contractors who have proven their worth over the last few years, especially during the Christmas period when we can have a myriad of different maintenance related issues that would require immediate attendance.
