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)
• Rental price advice (*) (Reviewed regularly)
• Successive marketing in local newspapers, shop-front displays, this web-site and targeted email distribution lists
• Screening of prospective tenants
• Accompanied viewings
• Selection of tenants
• Drawing up of list of fixtures and fittings (Reviewed regularly)
• Drawing up of Rental Agreement
• Collection of and retention of security deposit
• Notification of change of tenancy to authorities and utilities
• Collection of rents
• Local representative of absent landlord
• Forwarding of private mail
• Dealing with disputes and evictions
• Property and Fittings maintenance
• Garden maintenance
• Payment of bills
• Forwarding of rental income balance
• Disciplined handover

 

(*) The Property Shop cannot provide financial advice such as would support an application for a mortgage in a buy-to-let purchase arrangement.
