Tenants Prefer Properties That Are Managed

It's an undeniable reality that tenants nowadays have a strong inclination towards managed properties. The growing trend reveals that an increasing number of tenants inquire about property management before finalising their rental decisions.

The reason behind this preference lies in the additional peace of mind it offers to tenants. Knowing that their chosen property is managed by a regulated and qualified agent provides them with assurance that a more professional service will be delivered.

Moreover, having a dedicated property manager ensures that the property remains compliant with all safety regulations, eliminating any concerns in that regard. Furthermore, opting for a managed property helps remove the emotional aspects from the landlord-tenant relationship, fostering a more objective and streamlined experience for both parties involved.

So Landlords, Who’s looking after your property?

I have employed Able Estates as my letting agent for the past 10 years. During that time Ruth has successfully sourced numerous residential tenants for my investment properties in Thamesmead and Erith. She has managed to minimise void periods and her thorough vetting procedures have ensured my investment portfolio has sustained healthy profitability throughout the period of our association. I would thoroughly recommend Ruth and her team to anyone wishing to let their property.

This ensures that we select reliable tenants (in accordance with the Landlords guidelines) who are likely to pay rent on time and take good care of the property.
