Day-to-day operating brief

What Letting Agent work looks like in practice

A letting agent coordinates marketing, viewings, applicants, offers and tenancy preparation while handling keys, property access and sensitive applicant information. The contract should set negotiation and commitment limits clearly. Property particulars should distinguish verified facts from landlord statements and avoid promising suitability, condition or legal permissions that have not been established. The agent's record should connect each viewing, application, offer and landlord instruction so applicants receive consistent information. Inventory, safety-document, tenancy-drafting and property-management work should only be included where actually assigned to the post.

  • Prepare authorised rental marketing and particulars.
  • Arrange and conduct property viewings.
  • Progress applications references and offers.
  • Control keys access and applicant records.
  • Communicate landlord decisions and tenancy handover.

A realistic working scenario
