When it comes to letting out your property, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is how much responsibility you want to take on and how much you’d like to hand off to a professional agency like Airsat Real Estate.
The two most common service options are Let Only and Fully Managed. While both can be effective depending on your needs, they offer very different levels of support. Here's a clear breakdown to help you choose the best fit for your property and lifestyle.
What is a Let Only Service?
A Let Only service is ideal for landlords who are comfortable managing their property day to day but want professional help finding the right tenant. At Airsat Real Estate, our Let Only package typically includes:
- Valuation of your property
- Marketing on major portals (Rightmove, Zoopla, etc.)
- Conducting viewings
- Referencing tenants thoroughly
- Drawing up the tenancy agreement
- Collection of the first month’s rent and deposit
Once the tenant has moved in, management of the property, repairs, inspections, ongoing rent collection, is the landlord’s responsibility.
Best for: Experienced landlords who are hands-on and local.
What is a Fully Managed Service?
A Fully Managed service covers everything in Let Only, plus ongoing management throughout the tenancy. This is the most hassle-free option, especially useful for busy landlords or those living far from the rental property.
Airsat’s Fully Managed package includes:
- All Let Only services, plus:
- Monthly rent collection & statements
- 24/7 maintenance reporting for tenants
- Arranging repairs with trusted contractors
- Regular property inspections with reports
- Tenancy renewals and legal updates
- End-of-tenancy check-outs and deposit disputes
We act as the main point of contact for the tenant, resolving issues quickly and keeping your investment compliant with all the latest legislation.
Best for: Landlords who want peace of mind, value their time, or own multiple properties.
Which Should You Choose?
Ask yourself:
- Do I have the time and knowledge to manage tenants and maintenance issues?
- Am I local enough to respond to emergencies or carry out inspections?
- Would a missed compliance step risk fines or legal trouble?
If the idea of hands-on management appeals to you, Let Only might suit. But if you’d rather spend your time elsewhere and leave the details to experts, Fully Managed is worth the extra investment.
