INSIDE OUT Buy With Confidence!


// Newport Auctions has recently announced a new and innovative way to buy through a car auction, guaranteeing its pledge that you can buy with more confidence than ever before! With more


than 30 years in the game, Newport Auctions new trial sale guarantee will offer customers the option to test-drive any purchased vehicle after the auction has been completed. This trial offers peace of mind


and an opportunity to assess the car’s engine, axel, gearbox and brakes will be assessed and if a notable problem is identified then Newport Auctions will refund the sale.


“At auctions cars have


always been sold as seen,” said Jon Collingbourne, managing director of Newport Auctions. “We are always trying to take


things forward to improve the service for our customers and so we are proud to be one of the first auctioneers in the UK to introduce an after-sale trial service.” Newport Auctions is a

ollowing this guide will help you find the letting agency that is perfect for


you. There are 6 main points to consider when choosing a letting agent. They are :


The quality of services Not all agencies offers the same services. Some only offer the basics to landlords, whereas some offer to cater your every need, such as running thorough checks on potential tenants, preparing application forms and rental payments.


Availability The convenience of agencies is very important to both landlords and tenants. They both need to be able to contact agencies at almost any time on any date, so it is imperative for agencies to have email addresses, websites, and phone line with answer phone for use when a call arrives out of office time. It is also beneficial for agencies to have their own maintenance workers on call in case any problem needs to be rectified at any time.


Years of experience Many agencies have over time become long running family businesses. This type of agency is often not situated in the middle of a big city, but the way they run their business enables them to compete with well known commercialised chains of agencies.


Office location It is imperative that letting agencies have an office address for many reasons. Two of the main reasons are to assure clients that the agency is a professional business that is experienced and will be available if either landlord or tenant need help and/or advice. It is a good idea for an agency to be based on a main shopping street in the town centre to maximise the volume of potential clients and to make the office accessible to everyone.


Professional affiliations There are numerous letting organisations that have strict codes of compliance to guarantee professionalism within the letting agencies. Organisations include the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) and the National Association of Estate Agents. If the agent is affiliated with these organisations they are likely to be a credible company.


Service charges The majority of the time, in finding the right letting agent, higher service rates are given by top letting agents because of the superior service they offer. Others may try to attract you with cheap rates; you could end up getting frustrated because of the stress they may bring you. So find out what you’re going to get for your money before you sign up to a company.
