Property Management
 


Our property management department is a specialised and dedicated department within Hair & Son offering professional management services by very experienced and highly trained staff.

At Hair & Son we recognise that in many cases the property we manage may well be our clients' most valuable asset and our management service is designed to look after the day to day running of the investment. Within our team we have a specialist repairs and maintenance section tasked with protecting our clients' interests and preserving the value of the properties. Part of the service includes advice to assist our clients to maximize the potential of their properties, whether commercial, industrial or residential. We will always ensure that all maintenance matters are dealt with using reputable contractors and expenses are managed effectively through the requirements of comprehensive quotations.

Our experienced team take on the job of organising the maintenance schedule, offer advice when needed and take care of all your requirements during the period of various tenancies. If for any reason the property is unoccupied for any period, then our service will include the care of your vacant property.

We are more than able to provide a complete management service and act for many overseas clients who will only very occasionally have any significant input into management matters, but rely entirely on our professionalism and experience to look after some of their most valuable assets. We have been maximizing and maintaining our clients assets since 1922 and pride ourselves on our level of commitment to the provision of a full bespoke service to each and every one of our clients, large or small.

The management department is backed by a professional accounts team using bespoke software specifically designed for property management. We have, in fact, been using computers within our management department for over 35 years, the first of which was the size of a small house. Our accounts departments does a variety of jobs on behalf of clients including ensuring any arrears are kept to a minimum, and accounting to our clients promptly with full details and invoices for any expenses. In addition to the general financial management, we can also advise you on minimizing your tax liabilities whilst renting your property in the United Kingdom.

With ever increasing legislation, all clients must be only too aware of the potential liability of inadvertently committing a criminal offence and we are very much aware of the need to keep abreast of all relevant legislation relating to such issues including gas and electrical safety checks, asbestos issues and the many other potential pitfalls of owning and managing rental properties today.

Our expertise ranges from the management of single one bedroom properties, the complete management of large blocks of flats, commercial shops and offices together with the full management of industrial estates. The service is designed to be of benefit to both tenants and landlords. If we can assist you with your investments please contact us here.

We look forward to hearing from you.
