New FREE property letting portal for agents and landlords nationally

Oct. 18, 2008 - PRLog -- Letting site takes off

Two pilots are behind a new web site, launched two weeks ago which concentrates solely on property lettings. The Lettingsite.co.uk features tens of thousands of residential and commercial properties and is completely free for agents, landlords and tenants.

Each day it will automatically sweep up properties from landlords and letting agents. Most sites rehash properties from other sites. But TheLettingSite.co.uk deals directly with letting agents and landlords rather than culling them second-hand from other portals.

The Lettingsite.co.uk is the brainchild of Dominic Swinfield, 33, a leisure pilot from London. His background is in residential property, valuing and estate agency and Craig Middleton, 25, from Sheffield, a professional airline pilot and flight instructor. The two met whilst flying in Miami, America. Middleton also ran a small web hosting company.

They’ve worked with top developers and designers in the UK, America, India and Belgium, on the advanced software which removes the slog of agents uploading properties. If an agent wants to feature residential or commercial properties on the site they have nothing more to do as the properties are uploaded automatically and the site is totally free. Agents and landlords can also provide a property data feed or can manually upload multiple properties to the website.

If landlords or agents want to purchase advertising or highlight particular properties, the site offers them but Swinfield and Middleton stress that if ‘extras’ are not wanted, properties and photographs will still be featured for nothing.

Tenants can make direct contact with agents and landlords through the site. Properties will be listed region by region using addresses and postcodes. Contact details for trades people such as plumbers, electricians and special property deals will also be available later in the year. A constantly updated news and article system will be available to users, keeping them up to date with the latest market trends.

Lettings are a bright spot in a market hit by falling values, a dearth of mortgages, and recent figures indicating that record numbers of people are letting out their homes.
