LOCAL man Ian Collins is pleased to announce he's started a new business venture in lettings and property management that will focus on helping landlords and tenants.

With more than twenty years experience of property management in the public sector Ian is keen to use his skills to help Hereford residents rent a home whilst at the same time the contacts he's developed with good quality local tradesmen will ensure a landlords investment property is well cared for.

One major way in which he will help local tenants is by not charging an agency fee for setting up their tenancy agreement. So those who rent a property from Hereford Lettings could save as much as £200.

Ian commented, “I carefully considered and accepted the argument raised by the charity Shelter that this fee is unfair. I also believe it can inadvertently cost the landlord money too because it presents a financial barrier to some very good tenants and could delay the letting of a vacant property”.

In addition to his letting and management service Ian keeps a close eye on the property market in Hereford and has built up a wealth of information. He freely shares this with anyone considering buy to let as an investment option and will also help them search for the right property. He writes a regular blog about the subject on his website, have a look at www.herefordlettings.com.

If you are a landlord, or you are thinking of becoming one, Ian at Hereford Lettings can promise you a friendly and personal one to one service. Call on 01432 800384, or email info@herefordlettings.com.
