Investors
The cheapest management fee is rarely the cheapest outcome
A week of vacancy, a poorly screened tenant or a slow maintenance decision costs far more than the difference between 6.6% and 7.7%.
What we weight
What separates a good manager from an average one
- Tenant selection
- Their screening process, reference checks and how they handle competing applications.
- Portfolio load
- How many properties each manager holds. Beyond a certain number, service quality slips.
- Arrears discipline
- When they act on late rent, and what the escalation process looks like in practice.
- Inspections and reporting
- Frequency, photo evidence, and how condition issues get to you.
- Maintenance decisions
- Their approval threshold, tradespeople, and whether you're consulted.
- Fee transparency
- Management percentage, letting fee, lease renewal, statements, marketing, tribunal attendance.
Switching
Already have a manager?
Switching is usually a matter of notice periods and a transfer of keys, documents and the ledger. We can shortlist alternatives so you can compare before you decide anything.
