Business Services

The provision of quality tenant leads has always been our main service. Most of the activities we engage in have this goal in mind. Leads predominantly come through by telephone and you should also expect to receive a decent volume of emails.

The quality ethos is strongest in Citylets.co.uk over any other website we are aware of. We are still the only site that allows you to differentiate your property's suitability by demographic group, such as student or DSS-suitable, on the behest of your client the landlord. As a result, advertising with Citylets means you spend less time and money chasing red herrings, which research shows is substantial at certain times of the year (such as when the student market is at its peak).

Citylets.co.uk will provide you with unparalleled statistical analysis on the rental market in Scotland. The inaugural Citylets Report was launched in April 2007 and is packed full of useful information such as rental market trends, insight into diverse groups or specific areas and time-to-let figures both intra- and inter-city. For the first time the market now has independent, large scale and freely accessible statistical information.

The full report for Q1 2007 can be downloaded from www.citylets.co.uk/reports

Landlord leads are the lifeblood of any growing business. At Citylets.co.uk, the provision of 'full management' landlord leads are free for all first-year customers with 'let only' leads free at all times. The subscription to full management leads ensures that landlords are not deluged with responses and that you as an agent have a better chance at conversion.

Your leads are highly targeted resulting from the full matching service between your agency profile and the landlords perceived requirements. They are not general enquiries sent out to all agents in the area. It is still the only full landlord matching system in the UK.

Generally speaking, we believe that your website should be independently controlled and maintained. However, it makes perfect sense to enable your website to be updated as a natural and seamless by-product of updating Citylets.

It saves time and money by way of not having to update more than one website and indeed by removing any need for buying a database element for your website which is usually the greatest expenditure. As you will see, the ethos is to ensure that we are conspicuous by our absence and the ease by which you can move away from this arrangement. Examples of clients for whom we have done a 'listings integration' are:

www.1-2-let.co.uk/lettinghome.htm
www.letsdirect.org

We can also create a website for you from scratch for a small fee using our template. If we build your site, we then set you up in your own hosting environment over which you have full control. There would be a small charge to pay to the hosting company but we feel this is a small price to pay for maintaining your complete independence. We build it, upload it and then hand control over to you. Many clients use this as a foundation to create their own more advanced and unique site. Examples of clients for whom we have built a website from scratch are:

www.edinburghpropertyletting.co.uk
www.abnproplet.com

Examining the Citylets.co.uk website on any given day will give you a pretty accurate picture into the current state of the market. However, to assist you further, you will find a fully searchable database facility in your agent admin area, where you can determine rental values for properties right down to street level over a period of several years.
