Switch to our Full or Premium Managed service and receive 12 months’ Rent & Legal Protection at no extra cost. The policy covers the full monthly rent if tenants fall into arrears (subject to policy limits), with missed rental payments protected for up to 15 months or until vacant possession is obtained. It also provides up to £100,000 in legal expenses for possession proceedings and covers breaches of tenancy agreements. In a climate where evictions are slower, arrears are rising, and reforms increasingly favour tenants, this protection is designed to give landlords valuable financial security and peace of mind. **Terms & Conditions Apply.

Yes. Landlords can change letting agents even if a tenant is currently living in the property. In most cases the new agent simply takes over management of the tenancy, ensuring rent collection, maintenance coordination, and legal compliance continue without disruption for the tenant.
Switching agents is often much simpler than many landlords expect. A professional letting agent will typically handle the transition process on your behalf, including liaising with the previous agent, arranging the transfer of documents, and ensuring tenancy records and deposits are correctly managed.
Some agents include exit or termination fees within their management agreements. These vary depending on the contract terms and whether the property currently has tenants in place. Our Switching Promise includes a contribution of up to £1,000 towards these fees to help make the transition easier for landlords.
Yes, but you should first review your existing management agreement to understand any notice periods or termination fees that may apply. Our team can review your agreement and guide you through the options available before making the switch.
The tenancy agreement remains unchanged. The new managing agent simply takes over the day-to-day management responsibilities, such as rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, and compliance oversight.
In most cases tenants experience little to no disruption. They are simply informed of the new managing agent and updated payment details if required. The tenancy terms remain the same.
The process typically takes a few days once documentation has been transferred from the existing agent. A smooth transition depends on the cooperation of the outgoing agent and the completeness of the tenancy records.
Yes. In fact, switching letting agents when a property is vacant is often the simplest scenario. With no tenant in place there are usually no ongoing management responsibilities to transfer, making the process quicker and more straightforward. Once the management agreement is in place, we can begin marketing the property immediately, arrange viewings, and secure a new tenant as quickly as possible.
Landlords often switch agents to improve service quality, communication, compliance support, or rental performance. Others choose to move agents in order to access more proactive property management or stronger tenant referencing procedures.
Landlords should consider the agent’s experience, compliance expertise, marketing capability, and property management systems. Transparent fees, proactive communication, and a strong local reputation are also important factors.
Yes. Our full management service is designed to provide complete peace of mind for landlords, covering tenant management, rent collection, compliance oversight, maintenance coordination, and ongoing support throughout the tenancy.
In most cases landlords must give notice according to the terms of their existing management agreement. Once notice has been served, we can assist with the transition process and liaise with the previous agent to ensure documentation, deposit information, and tenancy records are transferred correctly.
Switching letting agents is straightforward, and we manage the process for you from start to finish. Once you’ve checked your current contract and given notice to your existing agent, we handle the full handover — including liaising with your current agent, transferring tenancy and compliance documents, and communicating with tenants where required. Whether your property is tenanted or vacant, we ensure a smooth transition with no disruption to rental income or management.
The best letting agent is one that delivers more than basic management. The best letting agent should provide proactive communication, strong compliance, and a clear focus on maximising your returns. At Martin & Co, we combine local expertise in Poole & Bournemouth with the backing of one of the UK’s largest property networks. Our full-service approach is designed to minimise stress, protect your income, and optimise long-term performance, which is why many landlords choose to switch to us.

*Exit Fee Contribution Terms & Conditions: The contribution towards exit fees is designed to help landlords move from their existing agent without financial barriers. The exit fee contribution is available to landlords who switch their property to Martin & Co on a Managed or Premium Managed service. We will contribute up to a maximum of £1,000 per property towards documented exit or termination fees charged by the previous letting agent. The contribution cannot exceed the documented exit fee charged by the previous agent. Landlords must provide a copy of the relevant paid invoice of the exit fee/s charged by their previous agent. The exit fee contribution will be paid directly to the landlord once the property has successfully transferred to our management and the management agreement has commenced. To qualify for the contribution, the landlord must retain Martin & Co as the managing agent for a minimum period of 24 months from the date management begins. If the landlord terminates the management agreement within the 24-month period, the exit fee contribution will become repayable to Martin & Co in full, in addition to any other termination fees as outlined in the terms of business. Repayment will be due within 30 days of termination of the management agreement. The contribution applies only to exit or termination fees relating to the transfer of letting management and does not cover unrelated charges such as maintenance costs, outstanding invoices, or tenancy-related expenses. This offer is available to new management instructions only and cannot be applied retrospectively. Martin & Co reserves the right to amend, suspend, or withdraw this offer at any time without prior notice.
**12 Months Free Rent & Legal Protection Terms & Conditions: The 12 months free Rent & Legal Protection cover is available to landlords who instruct Martin & Co on a Managed or Premium Managed service. The cover will be provided free of charge for the first 12 months from the commencement of the management agreement. Rent & Legal Protection is provided through our approved insurance partner and is subject to the insurer’s terms, conditions, and underwriting criteria. To be eligible the tenancy must meet the insurer’s referencing requirements, including satisfactory tenant referencing prior to policy activation. The property must be let and managed through Martin & Co for the duration of the cover. If the landlord terminates the Management service during the 12-month cover period, the Rent & Legal Protection policy may be cancelled in accordance with the insurer’s terms. After the initial 12-month period, landlords may choose to renew the Rent & Legal Protection policy at the prevailing market rate. This promotion is available only to new management instructions and cannot be applied retrospectively. Martin & Co reserves the right to amend, suspend, or withdraw this offer at any time without prior notice.
Switching offer exclusive to Martin & Co Poole and Martin & Co Bournemouth.
