6 Ways we can MAXIMISE your Rental Income

Many landlords look only at the management fee that an agent charges, but should focus on the NET RENTAL at the end of the financial year for their property.

THIS IS HOW WE WILL INCREASE YOUR BOTTOM LINE.

1. "Under renting" a property at too low a rent costs you income, whilst asking too high a rent leaves you with unnecessary and expensive vacancies. Your property will be managed by experienced long term Property Managers who have "finger on the pulse" knowledge of the market place, ensuring your property always brings you a good market rent.

2. Access to good quality contractors at short notice with very reasonable rates, because of the volume of work provided. Our register of "Approved Trades people" means that you can have peace of mind that only licensed and insured trades people will work on your property.

3. We are trained and skilled negotiators therefore we know how to "go into bat" for our client’s best interests. Many agents focus on, and are well versed, in tenant’s rights. We have full knowledge of, and hence know how to champion the RIGHTS OF OUR LANDLORDS AS WELL.

4. Stringent control of rent arrears through constant and frequent checks of outstanding rent and the ability of the Property Managers to act quickly against defaulting people.

5. Supervision, review and prompt action at appropriate times in relations to matters such as rent reviews, lease expiry and renewal, collections of contributions towards outgoings such as water usage, etc.

6. Regular and careful inspections of your property with written reports advertising both urgent, non urgent and recommended up-coming maintenance work will ensure your property is kept in optimal condition and hence brings you in the best rent possible.
