Property Management Advice

Our service has been designed so you can let your home with the minimum of worry or stress.

Your Tenants
Your tenants will be thoroughly investigated by an independant referencing agency to ensure they are honest and trustworthy. References are obtained from employers and bankers together with proof of residency.

Inventory of Your Contents
A full and detailed inventory of your contents, fixtures and fittings will be prepared, together with a schedule of conditions. This will be agreed and signed by the tenant. This document forms the basis of the report produced when the tenant moves out.

Property Inspections
Alan Francis will check your property regularly and send you a report on the condition of your home. A Home Manager will visit your property six weeks after the tenant moves in and at regular intervals throughout the tenancy.

Protection of your Property
It is the tenant's responsibility to keep the property and garden clean and tidy. For the safety of tenants and to avoid breakage through misuse, it is important to leave instructions and manuals for appliances, eg washing machines, central heating, vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers, etc.

Wherever possible we recommend all tenants take out a comprehensive Tenants Insurance Policy to cover damage to the property.

Repairs and Maintenance
Alan Francis will ensure repairs are carried out, when necessary.
A 24 hour manned property maintenance care line is available for tenants together with a dedicated line for non-urgent repairs. We will always ensure there is a genuine need before authorising any repairs to your property.
