For one reason or another Landlords frequently ask us whether they can bring their rental property over to Newton Fallowell without any disruption to their tenant or to their monthly payments. Many Landlords assume that to change your letting agent you must wait until the end of an existing tenancy, which is not the case! 

A tenancy agreement is a contract between the Landlord and the Tenant, and changing agent does not affect the legal rights of either. If a letting agent has not been delivering on service, it is likely that the tenant will be pleased that the management is changing and they may be more likely to stay in the property for longer. Once you have given your agent wrtitten notice that you would like to leave, we'll take it from there!
