Send us your contractA plain-English read
Most fully-managed agreements run on one to three months’ notice.
You’re mid-tenancy, so nothing changes for your tenant — same rent, same terms, same end date. Only the managing agent changes. You’re well past any initial fixed term, so a standard notice period is all that applies. Send us the agreement and we’ll confirm the exact wording in plain English — free, and with no commitment.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re not being picky — it’s what you were paying for and not getting.
Weeks go by without an update on your property, your tenant, or the market.
Small jobs drag on; tenants chase you because the agent isn’t chasing them.
You’re finding out from your bank statement, not from your agent.
Gas, EICR, EPC, deposit — you’re not sure what’s in date and nobody’s telling you.
A new account manager every few months — you re-explain your property each time.
Rent reviews missed, market shifts not flagged, end-of-tenancy decisions left to you.
“We have been using Phillip James Lettings since 2008 to help us with 2 flats we rent out. Prior to that we used a couple of the bigger names out there but I'm so glad we made the change — and stuck to it!”
