Looking after every aspect of your investment is recommended, in order to gain the fullest potential income that investment property often delivers. This means preparing your rental property to the best possible standard before taking it to market. 

Whether you are thinking of redecorating or need a quick coat of paint to spruce up your rental property, you can appoint us to assist you with this process. We work with a network of trusted contractors all of whom are familiar with the high standards we aim to deliver for our clients. As your managing agent, we can also ensure your maintenance project is complete on time and within budget, to attract the right tenants, at the right time.

As part of our property management package, we offer a vacant property care service tailored to meet your long or short term requirements; providing you peace of mind that your investment is taken care of.

A caretaking service is usually available to owners whose properties are left unoccupied for periods before a tenancy starts, after a tenancy has ended, or between tenancies. Vacant property care helps to comply with terms of your insurance policy. The service includes:

• Key holding
• Repairs and maintenance carried out by qualified and experienced contractors
• Arranging of pre-occupancy works - we will help prepare the property for letting by instructing and overseeing works up to £1,200 (inclusive of VAT) with no extra fees or charges
• Dealing with utilities in your absence where applicable

At an additional cost, we can also provide a void period service which includes:

• Regular property visits, tailored to suit your insurance needs. For example, ensuring the heating comes on during winter, the property is aired and any potential issues are reported back to you.
