    Could I get an agent to take over management of the property pay them 10% and let them deal with it?

    You'll probably find it very difficult to find an agent who will take this on.

    If you do manage to find one expect there to be more charges involved than the 10% management fee.

    Usually agents deal with the standard rent collection from a property but will pass it back to the LL once non payment starts,it then becomes the LL's actions to move it forward.
    The agent may advise you what to do,and may even charge you inflated prices for filling out and sending the standard notifications but they are unlikely to get involved with the full blown recovery of rent etc
