In November I purchased a rental investment on Widdenham Road near Holloway Road station. I initially tried to rent the flat out with an agent based in Islington, they told me they could bring people with Islington budgets to Holloway and achieve a better rental price. This made a lot of sense to me and I was keen to find a tenant ASAP and signed on the spot. Three weeks later I had a phone call to reduce the price because it was December and apparently no one was looking to move. At this point I decided to call a number of agents around to the flat to get a better idea of why I had not let the flat and how to rent it straight away.
Josh who I met from Drivers was pretty straight forward with me he explained that they had let 7 flats on the road this year, two flats identical to mine in other buildings, which gave me alot of confidence to give them a try. After around ten days I had heard nothing and was considering taking the flat off the market and putting it back on in the new year. Then popped up a rather delightful email from James stating that they had found three professional friends who wanted to take the flat and should they go ahead and reference them?
The reference process was quite quick and the tenants moved in three days before Christmas, which was a relief because its not something I wanted hanging over my head in the new year.
I would use Drivers again as I found there approach to be frank and efficient.
Comment on agent fees
Would have liked for it to be lower, of course, but it was in the middle of the other agents I had quote me.
