I take over full responsibility for the property with a refreshing difference, I do not take a “kitty” or set up a float with you, I make it simple, I call you & advise of current ongoing problems & then give you an idea of cost before proceeding with the work. The only exceptions to this will be out of hours emergency calls, such as water leaks, gas leaks or dangerous electrical situations. In these circumstances I will call a tradesman immediately to minimize any further risk to tenants & prevent any further damage that could occur. Other features of our fully managed service include the following:
Tenant Find
I will find tenants for you, take the damage deposit and the first month rent, reference and credit search the tenants for you or guarantors (if needed), prepare the assured shorthold tenancy, arrange for the tenants to come in and sign the contract
Deposit Protection
Register the damage deposit with a registered Government Scheme & deal with any disputes at the end of the tenancy
Rent Collections And Statements
Prepare and submit monthly monies and statements on monies received, after all necessary deductions as agreed with the owner, within 21 working days of receipt. Where instructed monies can be paid via Bank Transfer.
Demand, collect, receive and give receipts for rent and other payments and any other monies due to the owner from any tenant or any authorised person in respect of the property and to bank the same promptly.
Property Maintenance

I will liaise with the tenant and owner on the matters of minor maintenance and upkeep of the property. All reasonable efforts will be made to contact the owner when a maintenance problem is reported. However, where the work is urgent or statutorily required and the owner is not contactable, we reserve the right to carry out the necessary work up to the amount of £200. Any major maintenance is not covered by this agreement.

AspectProperties.co.uk will organise all of your certificates for your property and make sure they are always kept up to date. These certificates will be a separate charge.
