Landlords & Property Management
Here at Daniel Craig Residential we take care of our tenants, we take care of our properties and we take care of our landlords. The services we provide are tailored entirely to your needs. Whether you want help managing your property or just want to market your property with the right agency.
We deal with all sorts of landlords whether you have one property which you used to live in yourself and need guidance through the whole process, or you’re a professional landlord with a large portfolio.
We understand that your property is exactly that – your property; so we listen to your wants and desires and work out the best way to achieve precisely what you want. You need to be sure that your investment is safe, well maintained and generates you money, after all, it is a source of income.
So how do we find the right tenant for you?
Firstly we visit your property, meet with you as the landlord and find out exactly what you want from us an agency and from a prospective tenant. Often landlords are unsure as to the best tenants to aim for so here we also offer our expert opinion. We then set a rental level that you are happy with and take a number of our own marketing photos. We advertise on all the main property portals including Rightmove and Zoopla, plus a number of smaller local portals specifically designed for particular markets, students for example. We have also just launched a new website and have gone to great measures to ensure this site delivers high volumes of enquiries unique to our agency alone.
This is just the beginning however, from this point we organise all viewings with out of hours viewings through the week and at weekends. The next stage is receiving an application, we have a detailed application process which we guide the applicant through and carry out credit checks on every applicant we get. Along with the credit check we also seek references on the applicant from employers and past landlords. If there are any issues we request a guarantor (this is standard on a student property). All of the above measures are in place to ensure you are confident the person being put into your property will pay the monthly rent and look after your property.
After finding a tenant we get your approval on their application and arrange all the necessary paperwork including tenancy agreements and can also provide deposit registration and inventories. At this point we can either hand the property back for you to manage or this could just be the start of our working relationship.
We pride ourselves on providing excellent property management and most importantly keep you informed at all times. For day to day management of a property we handle everything from collecting rent to resolving maintenance issues. Some landlords are very busy and prefer to give us authorisation to carry out necessary works, others prefer to be informed very regularly and take a much more active involvement. In the beginning we get to know you as a landlord and will be in regular contact with you, as time progresses we tailor our service to suit your needs and can look after your properties with as much or as little input from you as you desire.
The professional advice and services we can offer is based on 20 years’ experience of the property market; including rentals, property management and property investment. With this in mind and our commitment to delivering the highest standard of service available, you can rest assured that the process of finding your ideal tenant and maintaining a strong relationship with them during the tenancy will be upheld.
We have taken on more and more managed properties within the last year as a result of our growing reputation. We pride ourselves on offering a friendly, honest and reliable service right from the offset because we are always on hand; even after the closed sign goes up.
