    I am having massive dilemas atm, with us renting our house out atm we have to decide if we want full management or not, this means that they collect the rent each month, deal with any late payments, check our house every 3 months and sort out any breakages etc, they also deal with any calls from the tenant such as the boiler isnt workin etc. Now we really wanted this option, so we can jus forget about the house and leave the estate agents to deal with it all, but its costs 10% of the rent so 57.50 a month every month, and we are looking to move out for 2 years so thats nearly £1500 in fees. I feel that considerin we are movin out to clear debt, paying fees which we dont have to seems silly, but then am worried about pple not payin the rent on time etc i really cant decide what to do, but i need to let them no later today :(

    Maybe ask on the renting board, they are landlords that will give you their own experiences.
    But could you handle being called 24/7 for minor problems or the hassle of collecting the rent. Some tenants would prefer to only deal with the agent.
