The majority of new start lettings business begin life with one or two staff and as the business grows it quickly becomes apparent that a dedicated Property Manager will be required. Dave Hunt, Business Development Director of ARPM Property Management – one of the largest outsourced property management providers in the UK, explains why letting agents should consider their options before reaching for the recruiters telephone number:
“Good Property Managers are actually hard to come by and those that are good are likely to cost a relatively high salary! The role of a Property Manager is more skilful than meets the eye and very few people have the aptitude to really grasp all the responsibilities that come with the role. The best Property Managers naturally look for the most financially rewarding positions on offer, which tend to sit with the larger letting agents who have a vast number of properties under management. ARPM Property Management actively recruit from this pool of top performing Property Managers to ensure that each member of staff assigned to our Clients portfolios has a proven ‘management’ track record. For small lettings businesses, trying to attract, recruit and retain these experienced Property Managers it can be very difficult as their salary requirements can simply make them unachievable. By outsourcing to ARPM Property Management, Clients can be assured that they will have the benefit of highly qualified Property Managers and none of the associated recruitment costs, which can easily run into the many hundreds, if not thousands of pounds”.
