Nottingham agents manage 35 residential or commercial properties per branch, making them the busiest in the country, research study from Propoly has revealed.
The city has actually an approximated 3,714 rental listings, and 106 branches.
Across 21 cities there are approximately 13.5 rental listings for each single letting agency branch.
Sim Sekhon, group president at Propoly, said: “These figures highlight just how operationally stretched many letting agents are, especially in high need cities such as Nottingham, Leeds and Newcastle, where the volume of listings per representative is well above the national average.
“When an agent is accountable for 30 or more properties at any one time, the pressure is not almost marketing and watchings.
“It reaches referencing, compliance checks, document management, property manager interaction and guaranteeing every tenancy advances smoothly from offer to move-in.
“As portfolios grow, so too does the threat of delays, administrative traffic jams and compliance oversights.”
Another busy city is Leeds, where there is one office for every 30.5 homes, and Newcastle, with 21.1 residential or commercial properties.
