Mode Letting

Mode Letting, an established letting agent, commenced operations in 2010 with a focus on addressing an underserved market in the local area of East Malling, Kent. The firm observed that existing property options in the region were often more concentrated on sales rather than dedicated letting services. Based in East Malling, the company extends its services across West Malling, Maidstone, and the surrounding areas of Kent, providing specialized letting solutions to property owners in these communities. The company positions itself as a modern alternative to traditional high street letting agencies, aiming to elevate industry standards by offering a competitive and transparent service.

This service is designed to be accessible to clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing enhanced flexibility and convenience. Mode Letting combines the financial advantages typically associated with online letting agents with the tangible benefits of a local presence in East Malling. This hybrid approach is intended to alleviate concerns for property owners regarding essential aspects such as viewings, regular inspections, and the complexities of evolving government legislation, ensuring a smoother letting experience. The company's commitment extends to keeping clients updated, offering peace of mind through consistent communication tailored to individual preferences.

Mode Letting provides distinct service levels to cater to varying client needs and preferences. The "Mode 01" service, referred to as tenant sourcing, offers a comprehensive solution for landlords. This includes everything from an initial property visit to assess its rental potential, through to the meticulous process of sourcing a tenant that best suits the landlord's specifications and the property's characteristics, culminating in the final handover of keys to a new occupant. For clients seeking more extensive support and delegation, the "Mode 02" service encompasses full property management.

This includes all aspects covered by the Mode 01 service, along with the ongoing care and maintenance of the property throughout the tenancy, allowing landlords to delegate responsibilities for complete peace of mind. The company further enhances its offerings with an in-house inventory service, which can be accessed as a standalone option or integrated into its comprehensive management packages. This service leverages mobile technology to create comprehensive and accurate records of a property's condition prior to a new tenant moving in. The specialized software employed facilitates side-by-side reporting, enabling precise comparisons of property elements before and after a tenancy, thereby minimizing potential disputes at the end of the rental period.

Mode Letting also conducts periodic mid-tenancy checks, using the original report as a reference point, to ensure properties are being maintained appropriately and to manage tenant expectations. This proactive approach provides tenants with timely direction to rectify any issues, safeguarding the landlord's interests regarding the security deposit. Mode Letting's services are directed towards general residential property letting within its operational areas. The company assists property owners in finding tenants that align with their specific requirements and the characteristics of their property.

While the firm does not specifically advertise or focus on Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), its comprehensive letting and property management services are applicable to various residential properties, which may include those rented to students. The firm's expertise lies in navigating the broader residential rental market within its operational areas in Kent.
