Self-Managing vs. Using an Agent: What’s Best for You?

Deciding whether to manage your rental property yourself or use a letting agent is a big choice. Some landlords prefer full control, while others value expertise and convenience. Let’s explore the pros and cons to help you make an informed decision.

Self-Managing:

✔ Full control

✔ Saves on management fees

✖ Requires time for marketing, vetting, maintenance, and legal compliance

✖ Can be stressful

Using an Agent:

✔ Professional expertise in pricing, tenant selection, and legal compliance

✔ Less stress for landlords

✖ Comes with fees (but often pays for itself with fewer vacancies and higher-quality tenants)
