What Does a Residential Property Manager Do For You?

If you’re a homeowner, then you know that there are a lot of things to think about when it comes to managing your property.

You have to worry about repairs, keeping the property clean, and finding tenants if you’re not living in the property yourself.

It can be a lot to handle, which is why many people choose to hire a residential property management company such as Yates Hellier.

A property management company is a business that specialises in taking care of all the details surrounding a rental property.

This includes everything from finding and screening tenants to handling repairs collecting rent, and ensuring the property meets current building regulations.

In most cases, property management companies will also be responsible for marketing the rental property to potential tenants.

If you’re considering hiring a property management company, then you should know what to expect from them.

Property Management responsibilities

The services that a residential property management company offers can vary and may depend on what is stipulated in the contract you sign with the company, but most companies will provide the following services:

Marketing the rental property

A good property management company will ensure that you maximise your rental yield by carrying out property and market rental appraisals.

They will also have a good network of potential tenants and an effective marketing strategy to make sure your property is rented out quickly.

Finding and screening Tenants

One of the most important services that a property management company offers is finding tenants.

They are responsible for advertising the property, screening potential tenants, and conducting interviews.

They’ll also screen tenants to make sure that they’re responsible and will take good care of your property.

This includes conducting background checks and credit checks to make sure that the tenant is responsible and will be able to make rent payments on time.

Handling the tenancy agreement following rental laws

In some cases, the property management company will also be responsible for handling all aspects of the tenancy agreement.

This includes making sure that the tenant understands their rights and responsibilities and that they are following all the rules of the tenancy agreement.

The property manager will also make sure that you are following all the laws and regulations surrounding rentals.

Rent Collection

In most cases, the property management company will handle all aspects of rent collection, including sending out late payment notices and even evicting tenants if necessary.

Handling repairs and maintenance requests from tenants

Another important service that property management companies offer is repair and maintenance.

If there are any issues with the property, it is the responsibility of the property manager to have them fixed in a timely manner.

This can include everything from fixing a broken window to dealing with a flooded basement. You shouldn’t have to worry about a thing.

Keep the property clean

A good property management company will also keep your rental property clean and well-maintained.

This can include things like landscaping, snow removal, and general cleaning.

You’ll always know that your property is in good hands.

Making sure the property meets building regulations

One of the property manager’s responsibilities is to make sure that the property always meets all national building regulations.

This includes making sure that the property has working smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and fire extinguishers.

The property manager will also handle any necessary repairs to make sure that the property meets building regulations.

Conducting periodic inspections of the property

The property manager will also conduct periodic inspections of the property to make sure that everything is in good working order and that the tenants are taking good care of the property.

a stand out company

Your investment is only as good as your letting agent.

Glasgow rental property has proven to be a great investment over the years. However, all investments have risk and not all Glasgow letting agents are equal. My job at Yates Hellier is to ensure that my client’s investments produce consistent results.

FAQs

Can I sell with A rated EWS1 form?

Yes. As long as your EWS1 form is signed off by a suitably qualified Fire engineer.

Who pays for an EWS1 form?

In Scotland it is the ‘owner’ of individual flats. So, if you wish to sell – this is you. This is due to the differing method of ownership in England and Scotland. In England and Wales, EWS1 form applies to the whole building. In England the ‘owner’ is the freeholder - they never fully own their property.

I had such an enjoyable experience dealing with Yates Hellier. I am an international student from Canada who recently moved to Glasgow and was able to find accommodation with such ease with the help of everyone at Yates Hellier. A ton of my stress and concern about moving to an entirely new continent was very much so minimized with all of the help and support I received. This letting agency is nothing short of professional, efficient and supportive. I would recommend this agency time and time again!

I have been a tenant with Yates Hellier for a while now and they have always been friendly and quick to respond to queries regarding maintenance etc — they are also very engaged with looking after their properties and I would use them if I was a landlord due to their professionalism and efficiency.

Ross was a brilliant agent. He was open and honest and I felt like I could trust him from our first meeting. He was also incredibly accommodating and took all our personal considerations into account. We had been looking for a bigger place for a while and with his backing we decided to put our flat on the market before finding a new place. This was a considerable risk for us due to time pressures in our family situation, however, Ross helped guide us through the selling and buying process. We were very lucky in the sale of our flat and achieved an amazing price which allowed us to offer on a property which would have previously been out of our budget. I say we were lucky but sometimes you make your own luck and in this case I whole heartedly believe that we would not have been as lucky if we didn’t have Ross taking us through both processes. We are incredibly happy with how things have worked out and have Ross to thank, I cannot recommend YatesHellier highly enough, they were brilliant!

I am grateful I found them. We are in Glasgow for part of the year, and they manage our apartment. Yates, Hellier are the best. We couldn't do it without them. We have had other property managers around the world, and there is simply no comparison. Moreover, their prices are reasonable.

Our experience as tenants with Yates Hellier was very positive and the best we have had from any letting agent. Whenever there were any issues with the flat, it would take them no time at all to get them sorted and they always communicated with us very well.

Ross was very professional and showed good negotiation skills with potential buyers as the market was dropping. Yates Hellier as a whole were very good and refreshingly they don't tie you into 6 month contracts like other bigger estate agents. This is invaluable in a falling market as it gives you the option to postpone the sale and not be penalised.

I recently sold my house in Burnside with Yates Hellier and could not be more delighted with the service provided. Ross was able to offer expert advice from start to finish, enabling for a smooth transaction. I would highly recommend Yates Hellier to anyone looking for a personal and friendly service when selling or buying. Thanks again.

I had a fantastic experience with Yates Hellier. I actually ended up using them by chance but I’m glad I did. I was very impressed by Ross. His knowledge of the market was excellent. He had clear understanding of the processes and great ability to convey to this to me as his client. We were updated throughout. Yates Hellier seemed to have a good vetting process for potentional buyers. If you are looking to achieve the best potentional for your property sale Yates Hellier is an excellent choice.

Yates Hellier are a letting agency who are direct and simple to deal with. 95% of the issues we have raised have been dealt with promptly, as they send over a workman to fix the problem.They do regular inspections ensuring the flat is in good condition, but also as an oppurtunity for us to raise issues. occasionaly things we have mentioned in person have fallen through the cracks, but mostly dealt with when reminded in an email.

I had an excellent experience of both the sale and letting of my property with Yates Hellier.I decided to sell the property after the rental. It had been left in immaculate condition. The marketing material, photos and video they produced were incredibly professional so i decided to talk to Yates Hellier about selling my property. I had previously got in the market leader in Glasgow to give me an estimate. I decided to take a chance on Yates Hellier as I liked everything about them- A young vibrant team and image who are friendly and knowledgable. I didn't feel like i was being lied to or forced into anything to get the sale, as i did with the other company.Ross and his team lined up 37 viewings in the very short time it was on the market. He held to his promise that he would get the very best price for my property. The offer way exceeded my expectation. We even decided to go for offer no 2 as the purchaser's were chain free and in a better position than the first offer. This was all driven by recommendation and the diligence relayed around each prospective buyers circumstance was exceptional.Having very successfully got the deal over the line, I half expected something to go wrong prior to the moving stage. Not so. Again Yates Hellier delivered first class agency in facilitating a mutually beneficial moving arrangement to both myself and the buyers.I wouldn't hesitate to use Yates Hellier in the future. If you are looking to sell your property I strongly advise you to call them and at least have them in for a quote. You will be glad you did.A big thank you to the Yates Hellier team for an outstanding result!
