Southcourt Business Package customers are also entitled to:

Telephone and Email support

As a new start-up agent you may contact us anytime on any issue or query arising from your learning and studying how to set up and run your letting agency business. Telephone and email support is free and unlimited. Unlike some similar packages you may see, we are not a one man band, but operate a well organised support service manned by knowledgeable and helpful staff.

This is an invaluable and much appreciated element of the Southcourt Business Package, and means that you will have access to professional advice and guidance in the important early days of running your business. Although independent, you will not be alone!

Professional Management Software

Thanks to an exclusive deal we have arranged with a leading property software company, our start-up agents can get their new agency up and running with the benefit of specialised software completely FREE OF CHARGE.

Ancillary Trade Services:

As a Southcourt client you are entitled to benefit from the preferential rates we have negotiated with major trade providers for ancillary services – see below. Our industry-leading online product distribution platform is an invaluable and powerful tool to help you grow your business.

Referencing

You will have full access to our online referencing provider at exclusive rates; full tenant referencing from £13 per head, or credit report from £6 per head. Additionally, we have arranged £100 credit for our new clients which is available immediately against referencing. Tenant referencing with our industry provider is FREE where you have arranged to sell one of their insurance-based products to your landlord client, for which you also receive commission.

Gain an edge over other local agents with two innovative products available to Southcourt customers:

Southcourt Smart Deposit

A specially tailored Deposit Replacement Insurance product which removes the need for a tenant to pay a deposit, whilst still protecting the landlord against rent arrears and/or damage to the property. This enables the property to be let more quickly, and gives you a competitive edge over other local agents. There is no cost to the agent or the landlord in taking advantage of this scheme, and it costs the tenant the equivalent of around 1 weeks rent. Full details are available in our Members Area, from where you can request the product directly. Read more about the Deposit Replacement Insurance HERE

Rent in Advance

Earn additional commission by offering our provider’s unique “Rent in Advance” service to your landlord clients. Some portfolio landlords would prefer a more immediate cashflow than waiting for the rent to drip though month by month, and this product enables them to do just that. They receive their rent before its due, a full 6 months upfront! Many portfolio landlords find this particularly helpful as it enables them to reinvest and grow their property portfolio more quickly.

Associated Services:

Through our Agent Support Centre you can arrange the following on a nationwide basis at preferential rates:

All of the above are available at trade prices allowing ample room to add your own healthy mark-up.
