Our property management process

1. Pre-tenancy and handover : Our local team checks your new-build property on time for any construction issues, arranges good-quality furniture, and manages deep cleaning so your home is ready for tenants straight away.

2. Finding the right tenants & handling the paperwork : We do the heavy lifting when it comes to checking your tenants’ employment, income, and past rental history. Once we find the perfect match, we handle all the legal agreements to ensure your property is protected from day one.

3. Deposits & legal stuff simplified : Keeping your property legally safe shouldn't feel like a hassle. We''ll secure your deposit in a government approved scheme and sort all your UK safety certificates, so you don't have to worry about anything.

4. Repairs & maintenance : We’re always available for emergencies. In case of any accident, we’ll send a trusted, fully insured London contractor from our network to fix it fast.

5. Rent & bills : We handle the day-to-day money stuff. From making sure rent is paid on time to chasing late payments and sorting service charges or utility bills, we’ve got it covered.

6. Routine visits & move-outs : We pop by regularly to make sure your property stays in great shape. When tenants move out, we arrange an independent inspection, check for any wear and tear, and handle the deposit return fairly.
