Residential Services

Services

If it's the beginning, the end, or during the residency, we manage the process start to finish.

New Tenants

When it comes to looking for new tenants we're there to:
  • advertise and show property to prospective tenants
  • select suitable tenants from all the applicants
  • obtain references on prospective tenants from banks and employers
  • see tenants into property
  • check with them that all is in working order.

Moving On

When a tenant is moving on we'll be there to:
  • deal with mail for previous occupants
  • inspect the properties when tenants leave
  • collect any charges for damage, cleaning, and garden maintenance
  • assess the need for redecoration and repairs or updating the property, obtaining the quotes from able tradesmen and supervising the work being carried out
  • ensure all the services have a forwarding address and raise their bills with the right person

Financial

For money matters we can:
  • Collect rents, accounting to owners periodically
  • Email or post to owners, payments to the banks can be made directly into their accounts or by cheque
  • Other financial issues like advising on insurance claims

Utilities

We can handle utilities, for example we:
  • Read meters for gas and electricity
  • Inform providers of gas, electricity, water and sewerage, and the local authority responsible for collecting Council Tax.

Conditions and Standards

But we're also here to make sure the property is looked after, which is why we will ensure doors, locks, windows, cupboards, taps, central heating, and garden are in good state, and generally seeing to repairs as needed.
