Whether you’re an overseas investor, accidental landlord or experienced portfolio owner, our tailored management service keeps your property occupied, well maintained and delivering consistent returns.

What is Medium-Term Let Management?

Medium-term letting generally refers to rental agreements lasting between 1 and 12 months.

Demand has grown rapidly in London from tenants such as:

  • Corporate professionals
  • NHS staff
  • University lecturers
  • International students
  • Insurance relocation clients
  • Families renovating their homes
  • Professionals on temporary work assignments

Medium-term rentals offer an excellent balance between the flexibility and higher rental income of short-term lets and the stability of traditional long-term tenancies.

Our management service ensures your property attracts reliable tenants while minimising vacancy periods.

What is Long-Term Let Management?

Long-term let management covers traditional residential tenancies, typically lasting 12 months or longer.

Managing a rental property involves much more than simply collecting rent. Successful property management requires marketing, tenant communication, maintenance, inspections and ongoing legal compliance.

Our comprehensive long-term management service includes:

  • Professional marketing
  • Tenant sourcing
  • Referencing and credit checks
  • Right to Rent checks
  • Tenancy agreements
  • Deposit registration
  • Rent collection
  • Maintenance coordination
  • Property inspections
  • Compliance management
  • End-of-tenancy support
