For Landlords

Management Letting

Under the Property Management Service we will find a tenant for the property and prepare all documentation.  We will also advertise the property at our expense, showing the property to prospective new tenants and where we consider necessary, taking up employment or prior rental references.

When we have found a suitable tenant and the lessor approves the letting, we will prepare the tenancy agreement and collect from the tenants a deposit and the first months rent.

We visit the property every three months to check on the property and will report to the you, owner the condition of the house and any serious defects. The tenants will pay the rent to our client account each month, and should the tenants be late paying rent we will contact them to rectify the situation. Should we consider it necessary to take stronger action, we would then contact the lessor to take your further instructions. 

 We will draw up a schedule of conditions which will detail the condition of the property at the date of our instruction or the commencement of the tenancy, (whichever is later), and try to ensure that the tenant leaves the property in the same condition, subject to fair wear and tear at the end of the tenancy. Should any defects arise either in the property or the equipment contained within the property, we would arrange for this to be repaired or replaced, having obtained the landlord/ landlady’s consent to any disbursements in respect of tradesmen etc. However, we accept no liability for any damage done to the property or for any deficiencies in the condition of the property at the conclusion of the tenancy. 

Upon completion of the tenancy, we check the property and, if satisfied with the condition of the property, we request that the lessor refunds the deposit to the lessee.

It’s been such a great experience dealing with Spencer Auctioneers for the last twenty years.  Can’t recommend Luke and Sheila highly enough. There is nothing that Luke doesn’t know about selling a house in Connemara and Sheila handles every aspect of renting property with such ease and efficiency . Thank you both for such a positive and professional experience.

Luke was recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance and even if the sale of my house took a long time (I change my mind many times) Luke was always patient and available and always willing to go the extra mile to help.  I will say that selling a property in Ireland was the most challengeable thing I have ever done and without Luke I would have not known where to start. Thank you

We engaged Spencer Auctioneers for a number of years to oversee our property for long term rent in Clifden, County Galway. We found Sheila to be very professional and easy to communicate with allowing us the security of not worrying about property as we lived overseas. Luke always made himself available and when we were ready to sell ensured everything was sorted and dealt with smoothly. Nothing was a problem and went above and beyond to ensure sale progressed well. Highly recommend as agents for renting and for sales. Thank you for all your hard work over the years. Regards Tracey and Colm O'Callaghan

We bought a house in Connemara, and Luke guided us and kept us well informed about all the steps involved in the purchase. Everything went smoothly; he was efficient, professional, available, and very friendly. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again. Thank you, Luke!

On having to sell my home I did an incredible amount of research in which to find a genuinely professional estate agent. I can say, in absolute honesty, that I was truly blessed to have chosen Spencers Auctioneers and Luke. The professionalism, courtesy, respect and honesty that Luke provided, to eventually sell my home, was and is, a shining example to all the other 'services'...... whom, in my opinion, made the sale more difficult than perhaps necessary. Lukes knowledge, contacts and ability to sort out so many obstacles and barriers was a key factor in the eventual sale of my home. Luke, unlike, i'd say, 100 percent of other 'over paid actors' involved in the sale, always returned phone calls, e-mail enquiries, promptly......and never treated me other than a highly valued client at all stage of the sale. I can highly recommend Spencer Auctioneers and Luke to any potential property seller and do so in the confidence that they will receive the same professional service as I received.

Luke was able to guide us through any issues that came up. He had considered every detail, and with his local knowledge and experience, offered up solutions to help the process go smoothly.  Received regular friendly updates and kept well informed through the process.  Highly recommend!!

Rent

The rent, paid monthly in advance, is paid into Spencer Auctioneers Client Account. We deduct our fees from the monies collected by us from the tenant and account to landlord/ landlady for the balance every month. We lodge the rent to your bank account and send you the relevant documentation. Should the tenancy be held under the HAP (Housing Assistance Payment) scheme, then these rents are paid in arrears at the end of each month.

Basic Letting

Under our Basic Property Letting we will advertise the property at our expense, find a suitable tenant, prepare all relevant documentation relating to the tenancy i.e., tenancy agreement, inventory of property contents etc, collect the first month’s rent and deposit from the lessee and return the balance due to the lessor once our fees have been deducted.

Once the lessee takes up residency in the property all further correspondence relating to any issue is between the lessor and lessee, our involvement is complete.  The subsequent month’s rent will be paid directly to the lessor’s bank account which will also be included in the lease for all ongoing payments.
