Bear Letting Agents in Essex

For those landlords who have never rented their investment out before, we can offer a 'Start Up' pack which will give you all the advice you will need, as well as One Month’s waiver of our management fee.

If you are a landlord who is dissatisfied with the service you have been receiving with your current agent and you have decided you would like to change or you would just like to try another agent, we can offer you a 3 month free management period and help you make the changeover.

Bear will offer a free rental appraisal to any landlord or potential landlord.

It is essential that accurate floorplans are created for customer satisfaction. Potential tenants will often not view properties with inaccurate plans. If a room was to appear too small in the plan, for example, or if a window opening was shown on a flat wall instead of a 'bay window' then it might not seem 'ideal'.

A floorplan gives a layout guide to a home. For that reason all floors are included as well as the floor square footage. Whilst these floor plans are not to scale, they do provide the correct information and are proven to reduce wasted viewings.

At Bear Lettings, our agents will take the time necessary to ensure accuracy in order to let your house.

How your home is presented is extremely important when it comes to letting your property. Every person who views your house online is a potential buyer, so you need to show your property at its best! For this reason we use professional photos to appear online.

They are professional because our Bear Letting Agents have been trained to take great photos that can make your home stand out.

They use the latest equipment, SLR cameras with wide angle lenses for high quality photos. You can also view the photos before the agent leaves your property.

Bear Lettings Agents are very excited to give details of this forward thinking scheme!

This innovative scheme is based in the belief that increasing cooperation between the parties involved in a rental property will lead to the best rental experience for them. We offer an excellent service to landlords, and always are happy to hear feedback so that we can keep improving this service.

We use tailor-made software which will be commissioned on your behalf. Our Bear account staff maintain accurate tenant account records and are automatically notified if there are any discrepancies in the accounts, such as non-payment of rent. Action can then be undertaken immediately.

Our software also allows us to reach, not only applicants already registered, but thousands of new contacts via our optimised website, so that we can market your property efficiently.

Our Central Office Hub allows all of our business to be in one place. This avoids needless expenditure on High Street offices, as well as confusion over which office to contact and who can best help you.

Our staff have experience in areas all over Essex and you will be able to speak to a team member most suited, to you. We use the benefits of centralising our business, with the one to one service of a traditional agent, to run a proactive as well as a responsive business. Done by not allowing ourselves to become entrenched in unnecessary traditions.

We do not use your asset, your property, as a 'cash cow' for our financial benefit but commit to 'Fair agency rules', which mean we do not charge excessive administration fees to our landlords or their tenants.

Bear believes that if references are checked thoroughly in the initial stages, then problems can be avoided later on. Nevertheless, situations change, which is why we keep in contact with our tenants and landlords to monitor these changes. Our referencing checks are extensive and include financial and previous history checks which will include working status and previous rental background.

Deposits are taken and placed in a Deposit Protection Scheme. We take one month’s rent as deposit, as well as another month’s rent paid in advance, from the tenant. Tenants will pay by standing order to us, and we will pay this directly to your account within 3 working days.
