Product : Property Management
Here is where you can find out what The Property
Shop can do for you if you are wanting to let your property on St.Helena
on a more or less continuous basis.
While the service is probably most useful to absent landlords, there is no reason why a local landlord cannot benefit hugely from hiving off the landlord's duties to a competent organisation like The Property Shop.
Property Management is a great deal more than just serial letting. A property manager acts as an agent for the property owner, filling the role of go-between between owner and tenants, and, if given the responsibility, making decisions on the owner's behalf, acting always in his/her best interests. Here's what you can expect if you let The Property Shop manage your property:- Creation of a marketing entry in our Properties to Let list, including textual descriptives, dimensions, features, amenities, photographs etc. (Reviewed regularly)
