Management Services?

Tenants in exclusive locations have high
expectations from their landlords, with many
owners delegating day-to-day maintenance tasks to
professional property management companies,
adding value to the rental experience and
ensuring that all necessary services are
available on demand. We often hear from
portfolio landlords looking for efficient
property managers yet who need to understand the
costs and fees involved in a comprehensive
management contract. Lets look at the essential
aspects of managing rental properties to the
highest standards, maintaining superb tenant
relationships and what you might expect to pay
for expert property management.

The Benefit of Professional Property Management
Services
Rental property ownership in some of the best
West Sussex postcodes can be a viable, long-term
investment strategy, attracting residential
tenants looking for stable, quality accommodation
in key locations. However, property management
is often one of the concerns for owners, who may
not have the time to deal with maintenance
callouts, regular upkeep and compliance with
tenant documentation.

Tod Anstees property services are led by
accomplished colleagues with decades of expertise
in maintaining every property to exceptional
standards, providing responsive, positive
communications, and assuring each property owner
that their rental home is in good hands. There
are also different considerations depending on
the location and value of your property asset, as
residents living in luxury properties will
naturally expect a higher standard of property
management.

Property Managers for Premium Rental Homes

• Full-service property management involves far
  more than dealing with building repair work or
  ensuring that complaints are handled swiftly on
  your behalf.
• Landlords can choose between varying management
  services depending on their requirements
• Applicant selection and vetting your property
  manager will market your rental property to
  target prospective groups in select areas and
  arrange private viewings. On application, the
  property management team checks references and
  draws up formal paperwork.

• A more active service involves all the above,
  plus collecting rent, with deposits stored
  according to tenancy deposit protection
  regulations and any queries or late payments
  addressed directly.
• Fully managed services provide complete rental
  management, comprising the above alongside
  property inspections, day-to-day management
  tasks, appointing contractors to complete
  repairs, and ensuring the residence is maintained
  to the expectations of you, as the owner, and
  your tenants.

Comprehensive management provides multiple
benefits, not least addressing the time burdens
of responding to requests, liaising with repair
professionals, and managing tenants finance
agreements. It also means that tenants deal
directly with a proficient property management
company and are confident that their
accommodation is proactively managed, with a
consistent point of contact.

What to Look for in a Capable Property Manager
Property owners are advised to conduct due
diligence before contracting any property
management companies to manage their residential
property assets. Several skills and abilities are
crucial to being a responsible property
management team. Local knowledge is key, not
solely to establish reliable networks of property
management tradespeople, but to understand how to
market a premium rental asset or development site
to the correct demographic.

• For example, upscale real estate close to sailing
  clubs and country parks is in extremely high
  demand, with professionals who may base much of
  their time in London. Marketing this type of rare
  rental opportunity commands an understanding of
  client expectations, needs and priorities.
• Other factors that we suggest owners look for
  include the following
• Experience wherever the property in question
  is, you require a reliable property manager who
  can independently handle residential property
  repairs, communicate on your behalf, and take on
  all the responsibilities associated with strong
  tenant support.

10

• Services we provide the full spectrum of
  property management, including assessing your
  property to determine the optimal rental premium,
  collecting payments, arranging maintenance,
  delivering rent increases and providing emergency
  liaison 24/7.
• Transparency our property managers often work
  with clients disappointed with previous services
  due to unexpected charges, fluctuating rental
  property costs, and delays in meeting requests.
  As a respected leader in West Sussex real estate,
  our property managers keep you fully in control
  and provide a clear fee structure upfront to
  ensure you make informed choices about your
  rental business assets.
• The aptitude of your appointed property company
  is even more important for higher value
  residences, creating a flawless level of service,
  and mitigating the potential for vacant periods.

How to Compare Property Management Company Fee
Structures
We endeavour to cater to the needs of every owner
we represent and will always discuss your
requirements before providing advice about the
right property management services for you. Much
depends on your level of involvement and whether
you would like to retain responsibility for
particular tasks, such as day-to-day management,
liaising with rental clients who are in arrears
or selecting from prospective new renters based
on our background checks. From there, your
property management costs will vary depending on
the scope of the work you would like us to
conduct and how you prefer to engage with your
tenants.
12
In many cases, the most effective charging
structure is based on a percentage of rental
income, clarifying how much your property
management services will cost and ensuring that
you have a professional manager on hand as and
when you need them to handle an issue or rectify
a maintenance problem. Experienced landlords and
property owners often opt for a tenant
introduction service, where they take over the
management of their rental properties once the
tenancy agreement documentation is in place.
However, a fully managed service may be more
suitable if you prefer a less hands-on approach.

• When comparing UK management quotations, we
  suggest you examine pricing carefully to
  establish variances and potential extra costs,
  such as
• Authorisation policies for recommended repair
  work.
• Early termination charges if you opt to
  discontinue the property management contract.
