Services
Property Management
Our full management service ensures landlords' properties are maintained to high standards. We handle inspections, repairs under 150, and tenant communication. Periodic visits guarantee compliance with tenancy agreements and legislative requirements.
Letting Services
We market properties and vet prospective tenants through credit checks and references. Our service includes viewings, agreement preparation, and inventory creation to secure suitable tenants efficiently.
Tenant Referencing
Comprehensive tenant vetting includes employer verification, credit reports, and previous landlord references. This minimises risk for landlords by ensuring tenants meet financial and reliability criteria.
Inventory Preparation
Detailed inventories document property condition at the start of tenancies. This protects landlords and tenants by providing clear records to resolve deposit disputes fairly.
Rent Collection
We collect and process monthly rent payments, transferring balances to landlords' accounts. Our system tracks arrears and facilitates communication to resolve payment issues promptly.
