The benefits of 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 full property management.

• If applicable we will arrange your annual gas safety certification and report back on any issues.
• We will register the security deposit on your behalf with the tenancy deposit scheme.
• We liaise with all the utilities at the start and end of the tenancy. This includes gas, electric, water and the local council tax.
• Advise you when it is time for tenancy renewal and make sure the process is as smooth as possible.
• We will produce all the financial information that you need for your tax return, which covers the let property.
• Full property management is an invaluable service that really is worth considering, particularly if you do not have a great deal of spare time or you do not live locally yourself.

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 guarantee if something goes wrong, it will be rectified immediately. And, what’s more, tenants don’t mind paying a premier rent for this peace of mind!
