Frequently Asked Questions

Can landlords switch agents during a tenancy?

Yes, in many cases management can change without affecting the tenancy. The key steps are reviewing the existing management agreement, giving the required notice period, and appointing a new agent who can communicate the change to tenants professionally.

How much notice do I need to give my letting agent?

Notice periods vary by management agreement, but are typically one to three months. Your management agreement will specify the required notice period. Some agents have break clauses that allow earlier termination.

Will switching agents affect my tenants?

In most cases, switching agents does not affect tenants significantly. They simply receive notification of the new management company and updated contact details. Gillams manages this communication professionally on behalf of landlords.
