At Seddons, we act as your professional representative, handling the day-to-day running of your property with care, transparency and attention to detail.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Protection for your property and rental income
Dedicated point of contact
Trusted contractor network
Regular inspections and proactive maintenance
Expert guidance on changing legislation
Transparent communication and reporting
