As a letting agent, you likely know that more landlords than ever want a hands-off investment experience. With busy lives and a desire for passive income, many landlords are looking for agents who can handle everything — from finding the right tenants to managing maintenance — all while keeping them in the loop with minimal effort on their part. To make this happen, agents need the right tools that simplify property management while giving landlords peace of mind.

With the help of tools like Street.co.uk, letting agents can provide the seamless service landlords expect, allowing them to get their properties let faster, keep tenants happy, and ensure their investment remains hassle-free. In this blog, we’ll go into more detail about how Street Lettings is tailored to help you meet landlords’ needs, and impress them every step of the way.

Marketing a landlord’s property effectively 

Effective property marketing is key to reducing void periods and ensuring landlords start earning income from their properties as quickly as possible. With the right tools, letting agents can streamline their marketing efforts and get properties in front of the right tenants faster.

Street.co.uk offers a powerful suite of AI tools that can significantly enhance the property marketing process. With Street.co.uk’s AI Property Description Generator, agents can create compelling property descriptions in seconds, taking the hassle out of writing listings, and ensuring that each description is engaging, well-written, and optimised for attracting the right tenants.

Research from Zoopla shows that 62% of tenants say the quality of property descriptions influences whether they’ll view a property. With Street AI’s Property Description Generator, you can craft attractive listings quickly, increasing your chances of securing a viewing — and a tenant — sooner.

Attractive images also play a huge role in drawing potential tenants. Street.co.uk’s AI Image Enhancer automatically improves the quality of property photos, enhancing brightness, fixing poor angles, and even editing dull skies and cloud coverage. High-quality images are crucial — Rightmove found that listings with professional photos are three times more likely to be viewed than those with poor-quality images. With AI-enhanced photos, agents can ensure their properties always look their best, helping listings stand out in a competitive market, without having to invest in external photographers or expensive editing software.

Alongside these AI tools, industry-specific marketing tools like Spectre Email and Auto.social work to expand your agency’s marketing reach. Spectre Email allows you to create beautiful, on-brand emails, complete with property blocks to showcase your new listings, and send them to segmented audiences to make sure the right people see your properties.  Meanwhile, Auto.social automates your social media presence, so your properties are continuously promoted across multiple platforms with minimal effort.

Combined, these tools make property marketing quicker, smarter, and more effective – a huge USP for letting agents looking to attract landlords who want their property’s tenanted, fast.

Take care of compliance

According to the National Landlords Association (NLA), 28% of landlords find it difficult to stay on top of compliance due to the complexity of the regulations. 

For letting agents, this presents a valuable opportunity to step in and offer a solution. By leveraging tech like Street.co.uk, agents can easily take this burden off landlords’ shoulders, ensuring the compliance process is handled efficiently and correctly.

For example, managing Right to Rent compliance can be a daunting task for landlords. Ensuring that tenants have the legal right to reside in the UK before renting a property is a critical obligation. However, the process of verifying documents — such as passports, visas, and residence permits — can quickly become overwhelming, particularly for landlords with multiple properties. Mistakes or omissions can result in heavy fines of up to £3,000 per tenant, which is why many landlords look to letting agents for support. 

Street.co.uk’s Right to Rent tool actively guides letting agents through every step of the check. When agents create a tenancy, they are prompted by the system to upload the required tenant documents. If an agent attempts to bypass the check or neglects to complete it, Street.co.uk prompts the user to provide a reason for doing so. This audit trail helps ensure that the Right to Rent check is completed, or at the very least, a valid explanation is recorded should the agency face an audit.

Making sure the correct Gas Safety, Electrical and EPC certificates are present for every property is another compliance headache landlords (and agents) have to contend with. Street.co.uk streamlines this process, telling agents exactly which documents are required for each property (and when they’re due to expire). And to speed up the process even further, agents can use Street AI’s Document Scanner to auto-fill key fields and set reminders for upcoming expiry dates, and payments due.

Street.co.uk also securely stores all records of completed checks, ensuring that agents can quickly access the information whenever needed — whether for audits, property transfers, or renewals. This digital storage reduces the risk of paperwork being lost or misplaced and ensures that landlords (and agencies) are always compliant. Agents can easily refer to the records during inspections or audits to show that the necessary steps were followed and to provide proof of compliance.

By digitising Right to Rent checks, flagging expired property documents, and providing an audit trail for compliance, Street.co.uk helps agents ensure landlords (and themselves) are fully protected against fines and legal risks. The result is a more efficient, reliable, and compliant letting agency that strengthens client relationships and enhances overall business reputation.

Let properties like lightning

For landlords, getting a property let quickly is crucial to minimising void periods and maximising rental income. However, the process of finding the right tenant and organising viewings can be time-consuming and inefficient, especially if they're doing it on their own. That’s where letting agents who use Street.co.uk’s PerfectMatch and Block Bookings tools can truly make a difference, offering a faster, more streamlined service that landlords simply can’t match on their own.

With PerfectMatch, letting agents can instantly match tenants to properties based on their preferences — such as location, budget, and specific requirements. Rather than waiting for multiple rounds of viewings with people who aren’t right for the space, agents can quickly target tenants who are genuinely interested and likely to proceed. The result? Properties are matched and sent to the right tenants without the guesswork or delay that landlords would face trying to do this manually.

Once the right tenants are identified, PerfectMatch allows letting agents to send the property details directly to applicants via email with just a click. With the added benefit of tracking whether applicants have viewed the property details, agents can follow up promptly to keep things moving. This makes the tenant acquisition process much quicker than a landlord would typically experience, when they may not have the tools or time to track this level of engagement effectively.

The Block Bookings feature takes this one step further by simplifying the (often cumbersome) process of organising viewings. Letting agents can set up blocks of viewing appointments on specific days, allowing tenants to choose from pre-set slots. This eliminates back-and-forth scheduling and reduces the administrative burden on both agents and landlords. Instead of coordinating individual appointments and spending time commuting between properties, agents can organise viewings all in one go, maximising efficiency. For landlords, this means fewer wasted days with uncoordinated viewings and a faster path to securing a tenant.

By combining PerfectMatch and Block Bookings, letting agents can lease a property far quicker than a landlord could manage themselves. With access to automated tools that streamline both the tenant matching and viewing scheduling process, agents reduce the time spent on administrative tasks and can focus on converting interested tenants into signed agreements. This ultimately shortens the time it takes to let the property, reducing the vacancy period and boosting the landlord’s rental income faster.

Deal with tenant repairs – so your landlords don’t have to

In a recent survey, 43% of landlords said they find dealing with repairs and maintenance their most frustrating responsibility. It’s no surprise, then, that many landlords are looking for a letting agent to take this burden firmly off their plate. In fact, 63% of landlords surveyed cited “no longer having to deal with repairs” as their primary reason for instructing their letting agent.

This presents a key opportunity for letting agents to not just take care of tenant maintenance, but to do it exceptionally well. 

Tools like Street.co.uk’s AI Tenant Maintenance can really set your letting agency apart here. Instead of tenants calling or sending vague messages about problems, tenants can self-serve from their phone by describing their issue within the Street.co.uk Tenant App, and adding photos and videos to increase first-time fixes. From here, Street AI triages their request, providing helpful solutions for non-urgent issues, and directing emergencies to the appropriate contact.  This ensures that tenants can access maintenance advice on-demand without needing to contact their agent or landlord, saving agents time and reducing inbound requests by up to 20%.

For landlords, this means no more tedious communication with tenants about what needs fixing, or sorting out when repairs are scheduled. Street.co.uk takes care of it all.

And when it comes to approving repairs? With the Street Landlord App, your landlords will instantly receive a notification any time there’s a pending request, and they can approve from the phone in their hand.

Street.co.uk takes the stress and frustration out of repairs, making sure everything gets done quickly and efficiently. For landlords who’d rather avoid dealing with maintenance issues altogether, it’s the perfect solution.
