Are you missing the Section 21 slot?

Getting a tenant into a property is time-consuming in itself. Getting a tenant out of a property after the agreement has expired is another matter. In an ideal world a tenant re-signs for another six months or happily leaves the property once the tenancy agreement expires. However, today's world is far from ideal, and tenants overstaying their welcome are an issue for landlords. Inhabiting a rental property outside of a tenancy agreement becomes a legal matter that, for once, gives power to the landlord. But if executed poorly by a letting agent, a Section 21 can fall to pieces.

At ARPM Property Management we issue Section 21 notices as part of our full property management solution. Our fully trained and highly qualified staff plan Section 21s with military precision, ensuring that the landlord rightly regains possession of his property as soon as possible.

"Many letting agents fail to execute Section 21 notices properly as they get their timings all wrong," says Dave Hunt, Business Development Director or ARPM Property Management. "Not giving enough notice - and not giving the notice in writing - is often a stumbling block for letting agents who haven't planned the process correctly, and can often result in a frustrated landlord who might get his property back later than anticipated."

The ARPM team are fully versed on the timings and legal paperwork needed to successfully issue a Section 21 notice. Dave adds: "Sometimes the vital aspects can get overlooked. As well as accurate timing, a Section 21 notice can only be actioned if the tenants' deposit is protected in accordance with a tenancy deposit scheme. Our staff will look into all the details, schedule the paperwork accordingly and ensure the landlord regains possession at the earliest possible opportunity. This is just one example as to the way outsourcing can take the pressure off lettings staff who might not be familiar with the legal facets, or who might be flat-out busy with viewings and valuations. We keep our clients landlords happy with professionally delivered property management."
