What is a Property Manager and why do landlords need one?
When you own a property with the intention of letting it out, it may seem a little overwhelming at first with all the ‘red tape’ and regulations. Where do you find good tenants you can trust? How do you make sure you get your money on time each month? What processes do you need to follow if a tenant reports a problem? Property Managers can do all of that for you. Their job is to oversee the day to day running, and to make sure that the property meets regulations legal obligations while also keeping your tenants happy. Sound good? Here are some more reasons why you need one.
The only Welsh Agent to win at Industry Charity Event 2022

The most common reasons tenants lose some deposit
