Property management
- Who will manage my property during this time?
- Like in every tenancy, the landlord chooses whether they want to self manage the property or they want to appoint a management company, or let us do it ourselves. The landlord anyhow is still responsible financially for the usual things the landlord is responsible for. However we will do most of the legwork, we have a full management department that will take care of any repairs and maintenance issues with previous Landlord authorisation.
- Can I keep using my own tradesman I’ve used for years?
- Of course, as long as they are legally certified and fully insured.
- Will there be more wear and tear?
- This question comes up frequently and the answer is no. A property let by an estate agent 3 times in 3 years will always have more wear and tear as opposed to having it in the same hands for 3 years straight with regular maintenance and upkeep.
