- How long will you take to get my rent to me? ...a week? ...a month?
(my-let Answer)
my-let operates a fully automated system that will get your rent to you in 3 days
and if you want to, can tell you by text or email that it has arrived with us and
when it will arrive with you.
- How long does it take to tell me if my rent is late?
(my-let Answer)
my-let's advanced system knows that the rent is late by midnight of the day it should
have arrived. We could let you know then, but we don't think you'd appreciate getting
a text message at this time so we let you know in the morning, but only if you want
to of course.
We also offer you a set of preferences that determine how you get your messages
from us and what you want to be told about.
- Do you use a To-Let board that allows people to text in for instant details?
(my-let Answer)
my-let has the LiveText™ To-Let board giving potential tenants instant feedback
about your property any time of day or night, 24/7.
- Of course you use all the main property web sites, but once you have the details
how long does it take to get my property listed on them?
(my-let Answer)
my-let automatically uploads your property details immediately after they have been
approved and updates all of the web sites with any further changes you request within
hours.
The LiveText™ To-Let board is also ordered immediately at the time you ask us to
market your property.
- Do you have a high street shop to pay for? Is that why my charges are so high?
(my-let Answer)
my-let operates out of an office, not a retail shop.
This is just one of the ways we save you money.
Did you know that over 80% of people find their letting on the internet?
The rest make contact after seeing a board.
- Can I get information about my property online?
(my-let Answer)

any connected location in the world. Even while on your holidays.
No more waiting for the office to open and your agent to make time for you.

rent is overdue.

for me?

later at the web site.

- Does your ‘fixed’ management fee go up or switch to a percentage method if the rent
reaches a certain level?

fee is the same. It is £30 per month and only charged when the property is let.

- Are you offering amazing deals on pricing and services just to entice me in?
(my-let Answer)
No. The my-let pricing structure is built around us being efficient. Our prices
are not special offers.
- Do you have T's and C's that you won't show me till I get to meet with you? Oh and
what happens if I want to leave you? Do I have to pay again for a tenant I've already
paid you to find?
(my-let Answer)
No. Our T's and C's are there on the RHS of this page for you to download. If you
wanted to leave us.. heaven knows why you would.. you just give us 90 days notice
and that's it. We would only charge you a small fee if you wanted us to check out
a tenant without installing a new one.
