If you are thinking of letting your property but you are not really sure where to start Oakmore Property can provide advice and guidance. If you already rent your property but feel you are not getting the best value for money with your current agent or, if you manage it yourself but need some support in some areas, then contact us and we will be happy to discuss options with you.
We will carry out an inspection and provide a rent assessment of your property taking into account the market rate for your area and the condition of the property. We will make recommendations on how you can achieve the maximum rental return.
We have over 25 years of experience in property lettings, which is why we consistently achieve marketing rate across all of our clients’ properties. We also regularly assess rental incomes on managed properties and review rents annually to ensure you are getting the most competitive rent for your area.
There is more to renting your home than you might think, and with the law constantly changing it can be difficult to keep track. Prior to advertising & letting your property Oakmore Property will ensure that your property is legally compliant and ready to be let. If anything is needed to meet legislation requirements we can provide guidance and organise it for you via our network of compliant service providers. If your property is managed by Oakmore we will contact you when renewals are due to make sure you comply withing the appropriate time frames.
Examples of legal requirements include cerfifications for energy performance and gas safety as well as membership of a deposit scheme.
We understand that excellent presentation and maximum exposure are key to achieving the best possible rental income for your property. We strive to present your property at its best both online and at viewings and we will provide advice to you to help you ensure the property is ready to view. After an initial visit, we will advertise your property online via a range of websites as well as recommending your property to our corporate contacts.
If your property is tenanted we always provide advanced written notice of viewings. After viewings we always provide feedback if any areas need improvement.
Tenant selection is crucial if you want your property to be maintained to a high standard. We carefully consider all applications and ask all prospective tenants to complete a full reference check which includes; credit checks, employer references and previous landlord references. We will always seek your final approval before committing to a tenancy.
Legally verified paperwork will be drafted by the office, which will be signed and fully executed by the tenant(s) prior to move in and all necessary paperwork supplied to both the tenants and you within the legal time frames.
Property Management is a vital part of renting your home as things can go wrong and you may not have the time to deal with it. Only you know how much spare time you have to dedicate to dealing with your tenants telephone calls and emails and contacting service providers to carry out repairs. It can be a full time job. Our dedicated property management service is designed to give you both peace of mind and relieve you of the pressure of organising quotes and repairs in short timeframes. We respond to all tenant communications efficiently and organise the work so you don’t have to.
Instructing us to manage your property provides care for both your property and your tenant. You can even request we use your specific team of people. We always seek your permission before proceeding with works so you still have full control over your property.
Rent collection is not always the straight forward task that it should be. Tenants will miss payments for any number of reasons and unless you check your account regularly and have time to correspond with tenants & their guarantors, then we recommend that you have Oakmore Property collect rent on your behalf.
Our dedicated team will work hard to ensure rent is paid on time and chase missed payments. We will advise you every step of the way if further action is required. Once tenants begin to miss rent it is essential that procedures are in place to minimise your loss. We provide a monthly statement along with an annual statement and any invoices for your records.
