PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

If you wish, you can leave the whole supervision of the letting and management process to us. This is particularly useful if you are moving away from the area, living abroad - or simply don't want the bother of running the tenancy. Under our Property Management service, we will carry out all those duties covered by our Letting Only service - and, in addition, we will check-in the tenants, collect the rent, ensure the property is looked after and provide you with a contact for rental protection if required

Collecting Rents

We will collect and bank or draw a cheque in your favour for all rents on your behalf, then send you a monthly statement of account.  We can also advise you regarding your rental income tax for UK and non resident landlords.

Supervising the end of tenancy

We will ensure all the meters are read and that the responsibility for the services is transferred to the appropriate party.  We will also check the inventory and the condition of the property ensure the property departure of the tenants and arrange for any necessary cleaning or redecoration work to be carried out at the property.

Inspecting and Maintaining the Property

We will inspect your property at quarterly intervals, to ensure your property is being looked after and kept in good decorative order.  If necessary, we will organise for any maintenance work to be carried out, including electrics, gas, plumbing, joinery and gardening.  Lawrence Copeland can provide maintenance contractors who offer a good service at reasonable prices.
