For our management service the setting up of the tenancy is as 1-8 of the introductory service plus:

The management of your property will then be undertaken as follows:

Collecting the rent on a monthly basis in advance by standing order if possible.
Forwarding the balance (after deducting our charges and any costs incurred on your behalf) to your chosen bank/building society to arrive in your account on either the 14th or 24th of each month, depending on the commencement date of the tenancy.
Preparing a full Statement of Account every three months.
Inspecting the property at least once during every three months of the Tenancy wherever possible.
Dealing with any day to day management matters including the organising of repairs and maintenance work.
Serving the Tenant with the statutory Notice Requiring Possession as required in accordance with the Housing Act 1988.
At the end of each Tenancy we will prepare a Schedule of Dilapidations based on the initial inventory signed by the tenant, advising you of any wear and tear and any repairs or improvements which may be necessary.

All charges relating to introductory or managed services available on request.
