Is your Property Management Department open over the Christmas Period?

Wintertime tends to throw a multitude of issues at letting agents and with dropping winter temperatures, it is likely that the next 8-10 weeks are going to be a very busy time for Property Management Departments.  Dave Hunt, Business Development Director of ARPM explains how outsourcing your Property Management solution can help to ease the festive pressures:

“When temperatures drop it can be extremely disruptive to lettings businesses - especially Property Management Departments who find themselves up to their eyes in maintenance issues.  Whilst the majority of lettings business will have local contractors, they may not always be available and like most of us, they will take time off over the holiday period.  This can leave lettings businesses ‘stranded’ and having to spend time telephoning around trying to find an alternative contractor, often instructing them without any sight of their qualifications or insurances.  By doing this, letting agents are leaving themselves open to possible claims of breach of contract should anything go wrong.

I have mentioned in previous articles that the winter months are normally an extremely busy time for new Clients deciding to outsource their back-office lettings solution, particularly for smaller lettings business owners who would like to take a break over the festive period rather than being disturbed by telephone calls about broken boilers, etc, whilst they are trying to eat their turkey!  

If you are interested in understanding more about outsourced lettings then why not give us a call?  If you choose to proceed, there is still just about  enough time to have your business set-up prior to the Christmas Holidays – meaning that a relaxing festive break could be awaiting you!”.
