It can be difficult to select whether the private landlord or the agent is better? Cranbrook Lettings recommends agents because.

• Experience: Agents have a deeper understanding of laws of the property compared to private landlords.
• Contact: Agents have a whole team behind them to help their clients are happy and satisfied.
• Hard work: When some sort of maintenance is needed the agent is responsible to contact the landlord. 

However, this depends on you, whether you choose the private landlord or agent, but chose carefully!
