How Does Property Management Work?

A good landlord or property agent understands that the relationship with their tenant needs to be carefully managed in order to build a positive and successful long-term partnership from which both sides benefit. This requires the reliable delivery of a broad range of services to ensure that the tenant is kept safe and happy and to protect the position of the property owner.

If you own a rented property, it is always worth considering whether you will benefit from engaging a specialist property manager with experience required to deliver on that relationship.

The importance of property management

Purchasing a property to rent is a major investment, and property management is about looking after that investment so that it continues to give you the best return possible. Landlords also understand the additional benefits that good property management brings:

• Freeing up your time from keeping up to date with a multitude of compliance requirements
• Providing additional support when a landlord doesn’t have the capacity to look after their properties themselves.
• Ensuring that buildings are well maintained to generate maximum revenue
• Looking after the resident’s needs and wellbeing
• Acting as a point of contact between landlord and resident
• Understanding the legal requirements of renting property

What are property inventory management services?

At No Letting Go we offer a broad range of property reporting services to ensure we can assist either a landlord or agent to manage a successful let. These services include:

• Vacant property inspections: Checking your property is secure, and there are no maintenance issues, internally or externally. There’s often an insurance requirement for vacant properties to be inspected weekly or fortnightly.
• Abandonment notices: Ensuring these notices stay in place by regularly visiting the premises and reporting on the property’s security.
• Mid Term Reports: Every three to six months, we visit a property to ensure it is being maintained as agreed, check for damage and ensure that tenants are happy. We then produce a report that can be used to provide valuable evidence should a dispute arise in the future.
• Block management Inspections: Estate and block inspections are broad ranging, from fire and safety to maintenance and cleanliness, but can be tailored to each client’s needs, highlighting key areas for necessary action.
• Inventory management: Reporting any change, from the commencement to the termination of a tenancy, and providing evidence for recovering costs against deposits or insurances
• Fire and CO compliance: Inspecting and testing all alarms to ensure compliance with relevant regulations.
