Property Management

When you instruct Abode to manage your property you will work directly with a Property Manager who will be your main point of contact. They will get to know you, your property and understand how best to meet your needs and that of your tenants.

All our Landlords fees are billed on a monthly basis, so unlike most other agents there are no upfront costs. Our commission is only deducted when you receive your monthly rent.

We will ensure that your property complies with all the latest regulations affecting the rental market. We can organise any necessary certification that may be required, such as an Energy Performance, Gas Safety or Electrical Certificate, as well as check any potential tenants' right to rent and advise you to ensure that your property has a licence to rent from the local council (if required), giving you complete peace of mind.

Abode will try to carry out between three and four photographic Property Inspections per year. This is to assess how the property is being maintained, the cleanliness and if there is any condensation or maintenance issues that may need to address. This comprehensive report will be emailed to you after each visit.

When your property becomes available to rent, we will proactively find new tenants willing to pay the optimum rent as quickly as possible to minimise the risk of a void period occurring between tenancies. We will also handle all the necessary paperwork, from rigorous reference checks, preparation of new tenancy agreements, inventory checks at the beginning and end of a tenancy, deposit registration and ongoing rent collection.

When instructing Abode on a Rent collection or a Fully Managed Service we can guarantee your rental income and Legal Costs up to £10,000 throughout the tenancy. Please speak to our Lettings Team for more details and Terms and conditions.

Keep up to date with our 24/7 dashboard MyPropertyFile. Check the status of your new tenancy, an outstanding maintenance job, your certifications, property inspections or your rental statements. No more lost paperwork - everything you need is in one handy place.

At Abode, should there be an emergency, we provide all of our tenants with a 24 hour emergency contact. Our approved contractor will access if the problem is deemed an emergency before attending.

Abode do not hold funds on account for any works during the tenancy. All of our contractors work on a 30 day payment plan. This ensures the quality of the works carried out and helps our Landlords to manage their cash flow more effectively.

At Abode, we understand that if the tenant is happy with how we manage the property then generally they will stay longer and look after the property is if it were their own. We have many long standing tenants that only want to deal with us due to the attentive service they received throughout their tenancy. A happy tenant is a good tenant.

With Abodes full Property Management service, you can have complete peace of mind that in the ever changing and complex world of Lettings that you are fully compliant and protected. Our range of services are designed to make your investment as profitable and hassle free as possible.

Abode, unlike other agents, insist that their contractors work on a 30 day payment plan. This means that we have no need to hold any of your money on account for repairs and the invoice is settled when the next rental payment becomes due. All of our contractors are qualified and hold the relevant public liability insurance.

Yes, you can. Your chosen contractors details would be the tagged to your property should any maintenance or repairs be needed.

Yes of course. You could either attend with our Property Manager on an inspection or we can arrange a date and time thats suitable to you.

Not a problem at all. Many of our Landlords either live or work overseas. There are some taxation issues, on which we would be happy to advise.

We will ensure that you are fully aware of any current or new legislation that needs to be met. The Property Management team at Abode will be on hand to guide you through the minefield of the ever changing regulation.

Your tenant will be given the contact details of our preferred contractor. They are available 24/7 should there be a problem that needs immediate attention. The contractor will assess the situation before attending.

When you instruct Abode to manage your property, you will be assigned your own Property Manager. They will be your main point of contact, but you have access to the whole team should they not be available.
