Out of Area Landlords

Do you own residential rental property in Stoke on Trent, or the wider Staffordshire locations, but live further away which makes self managing your buy-to-let property a challenge? 

Using a Letting Agent, such as ST Properties, can make the renting process for an out-of-area landlord much easier and more cost-effective. Below are some benefits of partnering with a Letting Agent if you do not live in close proximity to the property you rent out:

Local Presence and Oversight
Being in the local area to your rental property, a letting agent can meet tenants, handle issues in person, physically inspect the property -  something you can’t easily do from a distance. They provide eyes and ears on the ground, reducing the risk of problems going unnoticed.

Handling Maintenance and Repairs
Letting Agents have a local network of tradespeople, covering all skill areas, meaning you don't have to research and coordinate from afar, or to make the physical journey to attend the property and meet tradespeople. Letting Agents, like ST Properties, can arrange quick repairs or urgent work, getting issues resolved efficiently, and keeping tenants satisfied. 

Legal Compliance
Laws around renting (especially in the UK) are complex and vary by area — from deposit protection to gas safety to licensing. Local agents know regional requirements and keep you compliant, reducing the risk of fines or legal trouble. ST Properties keep abreast of all local rental compliance guidelines. 

Finding tenants
Agents know the local market, where to advertise, and what rent levels to set. They can handle viewings, tenant vetting, and move-ins without you needing to travel. This reduces vacancy periods and secures reliable tenants faster.

Reduced travel costs and hassle
Without an agent, you’d likely need to make repeated trips to the property for viewings, inspections, or dealing with maintenance issues. Using a local agent saves you those costs and headaches.

Peace of mind
Perhaps most importantly: knowing that someone local is managing things professionally gives you peace of mind, especially if you have a full-time job, other properties, or live far away.
