The Benefits Of Property Management For Rental Landlords in Newport

The Benefits Of Property Management For Rental Landlords in Newport

There Are Many Benefits To Using A Property Management Company
A fundamental mistake landlords make is choosing not to use a reliable property management company. There is a common misconception that managing a property independently will save landlords money. In fact, it often turns out to be a false economy, as our team at Red Key knows all too well!

Many landlords in Newport come to us once they realise how challenging it can be to deal with all aspects of property management themselves and soon begin to recognise the benefits that using a property manager will bring.

Here we’ll look at the benefits of using a property management company.

A Single Contact Point For Contract Holders
Rather than having to deal with your contract holders yourself, your trusted property management company will be able to resolve any problems and issues arising on your behalf. Property management companies offer a 24-hour service, so they are available to help when you are unavailable. Handling occupier complaints when letting your property can be stressful, but management companies will handle matters without you needing to involve yourself directly.

Reduced Contract Holder Turnover
Thanks to the practical, effective, and speedy services that your property management company will provide, the chances of high occupier turnover become much lower. If any changes occur on your side, such as a rent increase, your contract holders are likely to be more prepared to cooperate when they know they’re in safe hands.

A Lower Chance Of Legal Problems
If you’re unlucky enough to experience a problem contract holder, you can find legal issues mount up over time, costing you money and time. A property management company will be familiar with the most recent legislation and will be able to handle legal matters appropriately and efficiently on your behalf.

Timely Rent Collection
When you use the services of a property management company, you won’t need to worry about collecting your rent payments yourself. This can be a relief if you have difficult occupants. If they fail to make payment on time, a property management company will enforce the lease policies, taking appropriate steps to ensure that you’re fully covered.

Reduced Maintenance Costs
When you use a property management company, you will be able to take advantage of their maintenance provision team, who will keep your property in excellent working order. This is a far cheaper alternative to hiring external professionals every time something needs fixing. Also, the property management maintenance team will be familiar with your contract holders and ensure all work is carried out professionally and correctly.

Why Use A Property Management Company In Newport
As a landlord in Newport, dealing with all your contract holder issues with no professional assistance can be highly stressful and time-consuming. The ideal solution is to use a trusted local property management company like Red Key. You’ll experience far less stress and will be sure to enjoy excellent value for money, with reduced occupant turnover and maximised rental revenue.

Should I Let Tenants Keep A Pet?

Should I Let Tenants Keep A Pet?

Published about 2 months ago

Data circulating the property industry provides a clear message – landlords don't like tenants keeping a pet. However, it's important to note that in July 2024, the new Labour government announced as part of their Renters' Rights Bill that they will give tenants the right to request a pet, which landlords cannot unreasonably refuse. Landlords will however be able to request insurance to cover any potential damage from pets.

Currently, data from gov.uk states that only 7% of private landlords advertise their properties as pet-friendly. So, arguably, there are a lot of missed opportunities from landlords sticking with the 'no pets allowed' policy.

In this article, we'll explore what the UK law is on tenants keeping a pet, what the benefits of being pet-friendly are for landlords and share our advice on how to safely allow your tenants to keep a pet.
