Fully Managed vs Let-Only: Why a Fully Managed Service Is the Smarter Choice For Landlords
Managing a rental property can be rewarding, but it can also be a full-time job. If you’re deciding between a let-only or fully managed service, here’s why going fully managed often makes far more sense for most landlords.
Let-Only: The Basics
With a let-only service, your agent finds and vets the contract holders, handles the paperwork, and collects the first month’s rent. After that, it’s over to you; rent collection, maintenance, inspections, and legal compliance are all your responsibility.
Fully Managed: The Complete Package
A fully managed service covers everything from tenant sourcing to day-to-day management. At Williamson & Co, we collect rent, handle repairs, ensure your property stays compliant, and maintain clear communication with your contract holders.
