Services provided by The London Property Agent
Full Property Management is our main objective and one we try to persuade our clients to have. Having a sole agency agreement means we have more influence over achieving the best possible rental yield with the most credible tenant looking for a new home.
Too many landlords fall into the trap of using more than one agent; the result is that each agent’s main objective is to let the property over the other as soon as possible without necessarily achieving the best rent, also with the knowledge that on a non management basis any issues once the tenant moves in is “over to you”.
We know that renting and managing your property can easily turn into a living nightmare if not handled correctly with clear lines of responsibility and dealing with another personality is not as easy when your previous home or investment is involved.
The Management Team’s objective is to provide an articulate proactive service for yourself and tenant in providing clear communication and factual information thus limiting any possible disputes. The majority of disputes start with a trivial matter that suddenly escalates out of all proportion without a mediator who knows both the housing act and your property.
The London Property Agent values its clients regardless of the size or number of properties you instruct us on, whether a small studio or a large house, we have the knowledge and expertise.
A consensus from professional and corporate tenants have stated that viewing a property that is managed by a letting agent does play an active part in their decision making process, which is the reason why the majority of our current portfolio is managed by The London Property Agent.

We have developed a relationship with a number of loyal and trustworthy contractors, who are paid on time and we therefore receive a good, honest and reliable service back from our fully insured / qualified external contractors instructed on maintenance issues approved by yourself.
A small difference in the cost between our Tenant Find Only and Full Management services can ultimately give you the peace of mind that your property and tenant are being well looked after according to tenancy and property law.
