Frequently Asked Questions
-
What should I expect during a rental valuation?
A lettings agent will visit your property and look around, taking into account a range of different factors. They will then give you their assessment of how much rent you could charge, talk to you about your plans, and advise you on the best way to let your property.
-
How is the rental value of my property calculated?
Our ethical and transparent approach means you will always understand why we've valued your property at a certain price. During a valuation, we consider several factors, including:
- Demand for your property type
- Supply of similar properties to yours in the rental market
- Who your property will attract (e.g. families, professionals, students)
- Condition of your property and any future changes you plan to make
- Your property's location, area demographic and transport links.

-
Do I need to be present at the property during a valuation?
No you don’t, but it is preferred if possible, as the agent may have some questions to ask during their visit. They can get in touch afterwards if necessary.
-
Do I have to use a letting agent to rent out my property?
Using a letting agent is not a requirement. However, the responsibilities of landlords have become increasingly complex in recent years. These responsibilities include adhering to over 400 regulations and pieces of legislation, meeting health and safety requirements, and conducting regular property inspections. Consequently, many landlords opt to engage a letting agent to ensure their properties remain legally compliant and to alleviate the associated stress of property management.
-
How much does it cost to use a letting agent?
The cost varies based on the level of support required. Alexander & Co recognises that the needs of landlords differ, and as such, we offer three distinct service options: Let Only, Rent Collection, and Fully Managed. Although the Fully Managed service is more expensive than Rent Collection, many landlords have found that entrusting us with the comprehensive management of their property allows them to focus on other aspects of their lives.
Thank you for the feedback
Excellent service and a smooth process, provided you have all the required documents. The agents were so friendly and helpful to speed up the process and I managed to get a new home that suited my needs.
With previous negative experiences with many estate agents, I was dreading finding a new home. With Alexander and Co, especially with the help from Karen, she helped me find the perfect place. She was on hand to answer any questions, sent me properties which matched my requirements and genuinely cared about helping me in what can be a stressful time. Amazing properties and perfect customer service.
The whole team at Alexander & Co were professional throughout the sale of our house; we felt listened to from start to finish and everything went very smoothly - cannot recommend enough! Thank you all
If you want an estate agent in Brackley and surrounding villages, don’t choose anyone else but Alexander & Co. We tried 2 agents before them, and wished we had hired Peter and his team first. Professional, incredibly hard working and so supportive. We haven’t sold a house for many years and everything has changed, we hadn’t realised how important the professionalism of your agent is not just for securing a sale, but through the conveyancing process, to keep everything together. Peter was the lynchpin in our chain and worked long hours to smooth things along. Alexander & Co know the Brackley market really well and their team are all genuine estate agents so no matter who works with you, they know their stuff. We can’t thank them enough for all they have done for us and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Excellent service. I have recently purchased my first property nearby. Alexander & co are a brilliant team of helpful estate agents. Huge thanks to James Butler who made the process stress free.
Thanks so much for working hard to get our purchase through. Really appreciated the calls and updates. Always really friendly and helpful no matter who you speak to in the office. Thanks so much Peter for helping us with our purchase.
