Should we use a letting agent?

What's so big deal about inspecting a property quoterly. You don't need to do that if your tennants are paying rent regurarly. Also, if they are not paying, I can't see that letting agent would help you. It would still be your problem. I don't think that they get involved in those disputes. Maybe getting an insurance that would cover you in a case of this problem would be a good idea.0

They DO get involved - because if rent is not being paid, neither is the LAs commission. It is the agents' job to manage the tenancy, including chasing late/non payment of rent.0
