Marketing & Finders Option

For this option of management we will:

FULL MANAGEMENT OPTION

Our Full Management Option includes every aspect of managing the property, all of the same features that let only option include and much more. Once the tenant has been found and the property is rented the following are the key points of management moving forward:

KEY POINTS

01

RENT COLLECTION

We have numerous means of collecting rent, from ensuring DSS paid direct, to a standing order set up. Some tenants like to pay rent by card or cash, this can be done in our office. In certain circumstances, we are able to attend a property to take payment on a portable card reader. This leaves no excuse for non-payment.
02

TENANT SERVICES

Tenants have access to our 24/7, 365 emergency helpline, for any property emergencies. This ensures any damage to property in the case of an emergency will be minimised. In addition, all property repair can be reported to Keystone directly. We can then contact you and organise repairs with our dedicated team of tradesmen.
03

INSPECTIONS

Property inspections are key to a successful rental and the initial inspection is carried out 6 weeks after the date when a tenant moves into the property. Property inspections are then carried out every 6 months for the duration of the tenancy.
04

VACATION

When the tenant gives an agreed notice in writing, then we will send all information regarding the vacation and provide details of the condition of the property before they moved in, and when last inspected. On the day of the vacation we will then inspect the condition of the property, and compare this to pictures taken on the day the tenant signed, based on this, and with the permission of the landlord, we would release the deposit of the tenant, (or withhold an amount required if any damage has been done to the property).

NOTE: Tenant deposit protection is included in full management option.
