Property management
Whether you are a first time landlord or a seasoned portfolio landlord, property management has many benefits. You should decide how much personal involvement you wish to have with the tenants and the property. On the one hand you may wish to collect rent and deal with any running repairs yourself, alternatively you may want to stay at arms length, preferring a full property management service.
* We will regularly visit the property and inform landlords of our findings.
* We deal with any maintenance issues. If your tenant experiences a problem in most instances we will report it to you and take your instructions in order to rectify the problem. We can obtain quotes on your behalf for the works and oversee the whole process.
* If applicable we will arrange your annual gas safety record and report back on any issues.
* In most instances we will register the security deposit on your behalf with the Tenancy Deposit Scheme.
Tenants are requesting managed properties
Full property management is certainly worth considering if you want things as hassle free as possible. Increasingly we are finding that tenants are only considering properties to rent that are managed by an agency. This is a growing trend and we can understand why – tenants want the reassurance if something goes wrong, that it will be dealt with promptly.
