PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

It is vitally important that you are confident when placing your trust in us, that we will look after your home as if it were our own.

We will advise you on aspects relating to the maintenance and upkeep of your property which include; Tenancy Agreement preparation, routine maintenance, rent collection, tenancy renewals, overseeing contractors, paying service charges, deposit negotiations, property inspections, re-letting of the property prior to the tenancy end, dealing with evictions, any form of breach, ensuring that all statutory and legal obligations as a landlord are met – in fact, we will deal with absolutely everything that is associated with the effective management of your property – so you can relax and enjoy the optimal return on your investment.

RENT & LEGAL PROTECTION

Receiving the rent on time each month is crucial for a landlord when managing the costs associated with the rental of a property and whilst tenants are thoroughly referenced prior to a tenancy commencing, even the best and most conscientious of tenants can fall on hard times, leaving them in a position unable to meet their rental obligations, and often due to changes in circumstances outside of their control.

As a landlord, missed rental payments can have an impact on your income or risk your ability to meet your mortgage payments. Similarly, challenging economic times can only heighten the concern a landlord should have about protecting their rental income and property investment. Should the unexpected arise, we offer a rent and legal protection service to ensure that you still receive your rental income.

LANDLORD INSURANCE

If you are renting out your property, regardless of whether it’s a single residential property or a large mixed commercial/residential site, it’s vitally important to make sure that you are fully protected as being a landlord comes with a range of unique challenges and risks from damage to your buildings or its contents, to an unexpected loss of rental income.

Insurance isn’t compulsory by law, however it is likely to be a stipulation of your mortgage or loan provider to ensure that you have adequate landlord buildings insurance in place for the term of the agreement. It will also give you added peace of mind, that should an unfortunate event arise, you won’t be left burdening the cost. A policy can provide cover to protect the landlord’s buildings, content or both against a range of circumstances such as flood, fire, storm, theft and malicious damage caused by your tenants, legal cover and home emergency cover.

If you are a landlord with a portfolio, you could benefit from Landlord Portfolio Insurance which could cost you considerably less when compared with multiple individual policies.

PROFESSIONALISM

At Weaver Rose, our objective is to nurture relationships with our clients so that we can support you in growing your portfolio and your wealth. Trust, is a vital ingredient in developing this relationship as we are focused on minimising any rental voids and maximizing your rental yields.

For your peace of mind and financial protection, we are proud to be a bonded member of ARLA Propertymark (Association of Residential Letting Agents). We are part of the Client Money Protection Scheme (CMP), which means that all clients funds held by us are protected from fraud and misappropriation. We are registered with “My Deposits” (The Deposit Protection Scheme), to safely and securely protect the tenant’s security deposit. We are also part of the Property Redress Scheme (PRS) which provides consumers with free and fair redress, in the unlikely event of an unresolved dispute with our agency.

In addition, we offer a transparent and straightforward commission structure which allows our landlords to spread our commission payment over the duration of the tenancy. Unlike the majority of agents our commission is paid on a monthly basis so that our landlords immediately receive income from their property once a tenant has moved in.

We choose to be part of these professional memberships to give you and your tenants reassurances that you are fully protected and working with a professional agent who cares about the law, your money, insurances, security, all other aspects that contribute towards a happy and successful tenancy and working relationship and that will you receive the highest levels of customer service.
