I did google the name and checked at www.ipo.gov.uk and could not find another letting agent using it.

LETME is heavily registered for domains, just about every extension is already taken. You would have real SEO issues trying to compete with such competition.
My advise would be to check any name on IPO as Bill has suggested but also check the name on domain registrars as well. Your online presence will form a huge part of your marketing when starting up a small business.
You should secure a .co.uk and also a .com if possible.

That's very true Bill, but sort of restricts there catchment area for searches. If they wanted to expand for any reason that would be difficult with such a name. Would be better to have a domain free of a city name and instead go with domain-name . com/west-yorkshire and domain-name . com/wakefield for example.
Anyway, that's my opinion!
Hope it helps.

Having thought about it for a little, I would like the idea of having a locally centred approach, having 6-8 domains all pointing to a single site, if someone googles homes to let Bradford, there's a good chance to get on page one.
Looking at West Yorkshire, Bradford, Halifax, Keighley, Shipley, Leeds, Dewsbury, Brighouse, all domains can point to LETME-West Yorkshire.

Could you be different?
Associative names - Fixed Price Lettings. Low Cost Lettings. Simple Lettings. Fast Lets
Catchy but Descriptive - Let Us Let U (LULU).
Freestanding Names - WigWam, Igloo,
Just throwing them in the mix. It might make you think on a tangent and find something you love. (Love Lets) see, even as I type new names drop in.

If you are thinking of geographic target market - put name of place or county in name. If you are thinking bigger or concept can be franchised - keep it generic.
Statement of interest!
I've got the .co.uk / .com domains for these and you can have them dead cheap!
Best wishes with new venture
