Property Management

This is the preferred option for most landlords. By using Best Properties to manage your property we are taking over all the stresses and leaving you simply to carry on with your life. By using this service we deal with the following:

Before the Tenant moves in

• We will advertise the property in the local property paper and internet.
• We will carry out accompanied viewings and give feedback afterwards
• Once a prospective tenant is found we will reference their Bank, Employer and previous landlord to access their suitability.
• Once satisfactory references are received we will prepare a lease.
• The tenant will then sign the lease and hand over the rent and deposit.
• We will serve any necessary statutory notices on the tenants.
• On move-in-day the tenant will be handed the keys

N.B. You will need to have a valid gas safety certificate and a full inventory before we can move the tenant in; these can be arranged by us if needed. Please ask for details.

Once the tenant has moved in

• We will collect the rent each month by standing order
• We will forward the rent onto you within three working days, you will not be made to wait until our "accounts day"
• We will inspect the property after one month and then each quarter thereafter giving written feedback after each inspection
• We will arrange for all minor repairs under £100 to be carried out immediately.
• Larger repairs will be carried out once authorisation has been given by you
• We will not mark up repairs, you will get a copy of the invoice paid to the contractor with your next statement.
• Will will send you a yearly tax statment if required
• We will conduct "Check Out" on your behalf and in the need of cleaning will organise this from the tenants deposit.

Tenant find only

Some of our landlords prefer to manage their own properties especially if they are retired and have time to do this. If you would prefer for us to do this then again the service we offer is second to none. We will do all the services stated in property management up to the date the tenant moves in.

In addition to this we will give the tenant your full details and you theirs to ensure that you get the tenancy off to a smooth start. This includes giving the tenant bank details so they know where to pay each month. In the event of "Tenant find only" the landlord will hold the deposit. Details of your legal requirements for doing this can be given upon request.

N.B. A full inventory and gas safety certificate will again be required before we can move a tenant in.

Insurance

We have ties with specialist insurance companies who can organise buildings, contents and rent guarantee insurances for our landlords. Further details of these can be given upon request.
