It's our job to look after your investment -- to find you a good tenant that pays the rent promptly, one that respects and looks after your property.
The life of a modern-day landlord seems to get tougher as every day goes by.
More regulation, more paperwork, more hassle.
We work hard on behalf of hundreds of Landlords who trust us to make all this easy for them.
We understand and deal with the regulations. This keeps your tenants safe and means you do not need to worry about constantly keeping up with ever-changing rules.
Looking after your property
A combination of modern property management software and a great team of experienced people will ensure your property is looked after.
This includes regular visits from our property inspectors to keep a friendly eye on your tenants.
Amongst other things, we'll check for damage, condensation, signs of leaks, unexpected wear and tear and so on.
If we have any concerns, we take photos and make notes and send these to you with recommendations as part of our regular reports.

Looking after your money
We are choosy about which tenants we will recommend to you. One of the ‘hidden costs’ of owning rental property is void periods or unpaid rent.
For many Landlords, this can mean a loss of 5% to 10% of their rent each year.
By introducing only fully vetted tenants to our clients, we have been able to cut unpaid rent to less than 1%.
Your money is secure in our client account and subject to strict RICS regulatory control to keep it safe. We don’t hang on to your money — we’ll pay you quickly — usually just a few days after your tenant pays your rent.
You will receive simple paperwork with all your income and expenses fully itemised. This helps to you keep track of your financial affairs — especially when it comes to the providing the supporting paperwork for your tax return.
