Removing letting complexities
A large part of the Group’s services involves the letting and management of residential and commercial properties to professional individuals and companies.
Our landlords entrust us to manage their properties. This is achieved by removing the complexities that most property owners deal with on a day to day basis.
Well maintained properties, happy tenants and the timely collection and payment of rental income are the three most important factors that have contributed to the growth of our portfolio.
We believe that the successful letting and management of a property is a skill, perfected over many years. Below are a few of the day to day functions that we continue to focus on, improving as we go:
Comprehensive screening of tenant applications
Effective online marketing
Ongoing maintenance and upkeep
Drawing up Lease Agreements that are fully compliant with the Rental Housing and Consumer Protection Acts
Building strong working relationships between the landlord, agent and tenant
Timely collection and payment of rent
Management of a Trust account in accordance with the Estate Agency Affairs Act and the Law Society
Legal matters with the assistance of our preferred legal partners
Preparation and distribution of monthly Disbursement Statements itemising income and expenditure
Inspection visits including inventory taking
While we pride ourselves in the implementation of all of the above, we don't have to manage your property for you. We can source a suitable tenant and walk away – the choice is yours
