Quick answer

Kerrigans helps Doncaster landlords change letting agent — or move from self-managing into full management — with a structured handover so good tenants are protected and your property stays under control.

Self-managing landlords

Managing it yourself? Here’s what changes for you

If you find tenants, chase rent, arrange repairs and keep certificates current yourself, the new regime adds more process and less room for informal workarounds. Full management means Kerrigans owns the day-to-day — inspections, compliance diary, rent collection and tenant communication — so you are not the sole point of failure when the rules tighten.

Possession and notice routes change — paperwork has to be right first time
Rent increases need a clearer, once-a-year process
Periodic tenancies become the default from May 2026

Signs it is time to switch

You chase updates more than you receive them
Voids last longer than the local market justifies
Compliance and deposit paperwork feel chaotic
Maintenance drags on without clear ownership

A switch does not mean disrupting good tenants — a planned handover keeps compliant tenancies in place.

How a switch typically works

Review portfolio, tenancies and pain points
Agree timing so tenants are not disrupted
Transfer documents, keys, arrears and compliance records
Reset standards: inspections, rent collection, reporting

Switching agent FAQs

Will changing agent force tenants to move?

No. A well-managed handover keeps compliant tenancies in place.

Can you take over mid-tenancy?

Yes — mid-tenancy transfers are common when planned carefully.

What should I ask my current agent before leaving?

Ask for tenancy agreements, deposit details, certificates, arrears schedule and contractor history.
