A great service for Landlords who want to self-manage

We are small time private Landlords with a portfolio of just a few properties. Being able to self manage effectively without too much hassle and keeping our costs down are our main priorities. We've used Visum on several occasions and are extremely pleased with the service. The online service is straightforward, easy to use and costs are relatively reasonable.

We like that our advert goes on Rightmove as well as the fact that prospective tenants input their own details and pay direct to Visum for the reference checks.

We think the tenancy agreement is comprehensive and it's nice to be able to add the necessary details prior to printing it off. However, we do not allow pets or smoking in any of our properties and we notice that neither of these are mentioned in the tenancy agreement. Maybe this could be developed to include an option to add these as clauses if applicable.

Also, it would be useful to have a template to use for our inventory check-in report which we sometimes prepare ourselves.

We would happily recommend Visum to any private landlord and thank you for an excellent service.
