We use leading edge IT systems, including cloud technology, to ensure our staff and clients, have access to accurate and up to date information and fast communications. All staff have access to all properties and applicants, meaning that all branches can offer all properties to rent. Tenants do move around the area meaning landlords have the benefit of all 12 branches working for them.
Tenants want to move fast, so we have found we get the best response from extensive internet marketing. Properties are instantly available on our leading and acclaimed web site and we also upload to the major property portals, including Rightmove and OnTheMarket.com. This 24/7 marketing is supplemented by traditional methods such as To Let boards and press advertising.
Only our truly professional administration and accounting teams look after the specialized work of tenancy admin and financial accounting. Collection of the rent regularly and on time is one of our priorities. Careful and professional monitoring of the tenants, from initial vetting and referencing to regular property visits, means that we are constantly looking for warning signs of any problems. If we discover a problem we work with the tenant and the landlord to try and find a solution. We never forget who we work for however and our prime responsibilty is to the landlord.
