Frequently Asked Questions.
What's included in your property management service?
Our service includes tenant sourcing and referencing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, compliance management, property inspections, and optional legal cover. The exact services depend on which package you choose - Rent Collection (8%), Full Management (10%), or Premier Management (13%).
How do you find and vet tenants?
We advertise your property across major portals, conduct comprehensive referencing including credit checks, CCJ checks, employment verification, and landlord references. We verify tenant identities and ensure they meet your criteria before presenting them for approval.
What happens if a tenant doesn't pay rent?
With our Premier Management package, you're covered by rent guarantee insurance which protects against rent arrears until vacant possession (subject to a 10-day lag). For other packages, we'll work with you to resolve payment issues, serve appropriate notices, and take legal action if necessary.
How do you handle maintenance and repairs?
We have established relationships with trusted local contractors. When maintenance is needed, we obtain multiple quotes, arrange for work to be carried out, and oversee the process from start to finish. For Full and Premier Management packages, we handle this entirely on your behalf.
What compliance responsibilities do you handle?
We manage all required safety certificates (Gas Safety, EICR, EPC), ensure renewals are scheduled automatically, serve all necessary legal documents correctly, and keep you informed of any compliance requirements. This is included in our Full and Premier Management packages.
How often do you inspect properties?
We conduct bi-annual property inspections for Full and Premier Management packages. Each inspection includes photographs and a detailed report with agent notes, keeping you informed about your property's condition.
Can I manage my own maintenance with your service?
Yes, our Rent Collection package (8%) is designed for hands-on landlords who prefer to manage their own maintenance. You'll still benefit from tenant sourcing, referencing, rent collection, and monthly statements, while handling maintenance yourself.
What's the difference between Full and Premier Management?
Full Management (10%) includes everything in Rent Collection plus deposit protection, safety certificates, property inspections, maintenance coordination, 7-day support, serving notices, check-out processes, and deposit dispute assistance. Premier Management (13%) adds rent guarantee, legal cover up to £100,000, and vacant possession cover.
How quickly can you start managing my property?
We can start immediately after our free management audit and consultation. We'll review your property, check compliance, and begin marketing if you're looking for tenants, or take over management if you already have tenants in place.
Do you manage HMO properties?
Yes, we have experience managing HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) properties. HMO management requires additional compliance and coordination, which we handle as part of our Full and Premier Management packages. Please contact us to discuss your specific HMO requirements.
