How to manage your rental property

Good property management not only takes care of the long-term upkeep of a rental property, it also protects a buy-to-let investment in terms of both condition and appeal to future tenants.

From lost front door keys to broken boilers, properties certainly need looking after.

Homeowners can arrange to sort things out at their convenience but for a tenant, things are less straightforward – unless of course their landlord has chosen to use a professional managing agent like Henry Adams.

The individual property manager then becomes the main point of contact for the tenant from the day they get the keys.

At Henry Adams Lettings in Chichester, Gill Eyres talks through any issues raised by tenants and if necessary she will speak to the landlord and arrange for works to be carried out.

“We’ve established good relationships with reputable local contractors who are quick and reliable,” says Gill, who manages properties of every size and description.
