I bought a property with sitting tenants earlier this year.
The tenants moved into the house in November last year when the property was looked after by Agency A. The owner then decided to sell the property first via Agency A and then moved the instruction to sell to Agency B and subsequently the ongoing tenancy management to Agency B.
I then bought the house via Agency B.
Since I have owned the house quite a bit of work has been done on the house to bring it up to standard including electric work etc... The tenants have been happy with this as it has made their home nicer. The agency were not able to give me any local tradesmen contacts and suggested that I find tradesmen myself. I have been the one liaising with the tenant and the tradesmen to date.
As such I have got a good ongoing relationship with the tenants, they plan to remain in the property for the foreseeable future and if any maintenance issues come up I am confident that I can deal better and quicker with it than the agent. I am also happy to do this so I would like to give the agent notice.
Has anyone done this and if so what might I need to be aware of? Clearly I will need to get the rent diverted to my account and I expect I will need to do something with the deposit (not sure what) but can anyone else think of any other potential issues?
Thanks
