Property Management That Protects Your Investment

Managing a rental property today involves far more than collecting rent. With ever-evolving legislation, safety obligations and tenant expectations, landlords need a proactive property manager they can rely on. Our Full Property Management Service is designed to protect your investment, maximise its long-term value and give you complete peace of mind.

At Seddons, we act as your professional representative, handling the day-to-day running of your property with care, transparency and attention to detail. 

A Truly Hands-Off Letting Experience

With our managed service, you can step back knowing everything is being taken care of. We become the main point of contact for your tenant, deal with issues as they arise and keep you fully informed — without involving you in unnecessary day-to-day decisions.

Tenant Management & Communication

We handle all tenant interaction throughout the tenancy, including:

• Rent collection and arrears management

• Day-to-day queries and problem resolution

• Clear guidance on tenant responsibilities

• Professional handling of any breaches of the tenancy agreement

Tenants receive extensive information, setting expectations from the outset and helping tenancies run smoothly.

Rent Collection & Financial Reporting

Rent is collected monthly in advance and transferred to you promptly once cleared. We actively monitor payments, chase late rent and keep you informed at every stage. Clear statements are provided so you always know exactly where you stand. Should any payment be missed, we'll contact the tenant promptly, keep you informed and agree the most appropriate course of action.

While no agent can guarantee rent payment, our proactive approach significantly reduces the risk of arrears.

Property Maintenance & Repairs

We manage maintenance issues efficiently and responsibly:

• Emergency repairs handled swiftly

• A network of trusted, qualified and appropriately insured contractors

• Quotations obtained for non-urgent works

• Expenditure always controlled and authorised

Our priority is to protect the condition and value of your property while minimising disruption to your tenant.

Routine Property Inspections

Regular property visits are carried out to:

• Identify maintenance issues early

• Ensure the tenant is complying with the tenancy agreement

• Highlight potential problems before they escalate

Inspection reports include photographs where appropriate, together with recommendations for any remedial works. All inspections are conducted in line with legal access requirements and with respect for tenant privacy. Detailed feedback is provided after each visit.

Contractor Management

We coordinate maintenance from start to finish, obtaining quotations where appropriate, instructing approved contractors, monitoring works and checking that repairs have been completed to a satisfactory standard before closing the job.

Tenancy Renewals & Changes

We advise landlords on tenancy reviews, rent reviews where appropriate, requests from tenants (including requests relating to pets where applicable), and any agreed changes to the tenancy, ensuring these are documented correctly and in accordance with current legislation.

Legal Compliance & Safety Management

Keeping up with landlord legislation can be challenging. Our team stays up to date with changes in the law and helps ensure your property remains compliant throughout the tenancy.

We can advise on or arrange:

• Annual Gas Safety Certificates

• Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)

• Portable Appliance Testing (PAT), where appropriate

• Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

• Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm compliance

• Fire safety requirements for furniture and furnishings

• Legionella risk assessments

• Right to Rent checks

• Deposit protection requirements and prescribed information

• Serving required tenancy documentation where applicable

• Chimney sweeping where appropriate

We can arrange safety checks and certifications on your behalf and ensure documentation is correctly issued and recorded.

Deposit & End-of-Tenancy Management

Tenant deposits are protected within an approved government scheme for the duration of the tenancy. We'll also ensure the prescribed information is served within the required statutory timescales. At the end of the tenancy, we manage:

• Check-out inspections

• Negotiation of deposit deductions

• Dispute resolution where required

Our detailed inventories and condition reports help protect your position and avoid unnecessary disputes.

Problem Resolution & Legal Support

Where tenancy issues arise, we'll explain the legal options available under the current legislation, work closely with your solicitor where appropriate, and support you throughout the possession process if it becomes necessary.

Gardens, Outside Areas & Special Arrangements

Where gardens or outside areas form an important part of the property, we can arrange regular maintenance as part of the management service. This ensures the property remains well presented and reduces end-of-tenancy issues.

Optional Added Protection

For extra peace of mind, we strongly recommend landlords consider:

• Legal expenses insurance

Rent guarantee insurance

We are happy to discuss suitable options and introduce specialist providers.
