While it may be essential if you live some distance from your property, there are a number of important considerations for every landlord:
Managing a property involves ongoing responsibility, attention to detail and a clear understanding of legal obligations — all of which can quickly become time-consuming.
Many tenants also prefer professionally managed properties, as they benefit from clear communication and prompt handling of maintenance matters.
Our dedicated team of tenancy managers focuses solely on managing your property, ensuring a consistent, specialist approach and a high standard of service throughout the tenancy.
Customer service sits at the heart of everything we do. By supporting both landlords and tenants effectively, we help to create stable, long-term tenancies — reducing void periods and supporting strong rental performance.
We currently manage a substantial portfolio of properties across Warwickshire and the North Cotswolds, giving us the experience and insight to manage your property with confidence.
When you appoint Peter Clarke, you will be supported by a dedicated tenancy manager who will take the time to understand your property and manage it proactively on your behalf.
All the important landlord functions are carried out to keep you safe and compliant eg. safety certificates, right to rent checks, furnishing and fire regulations, maintenance utilising the appropriate contractors, chasing arrears, serving of notices when required and handling the renewal of tenancy contracts.
In some cases dealing with, when applicable, the local council, neighbour queries or HHSRS complaints (housing health and safety rating system) and anything generally that crops up during your tenancy.
Accredited by SafeAgent, you can be confident that we protect your interests by responsibly handling the procedures involved in letting and managing your property and meeting strict compliance criteria. Our team is knowledgeable, experienced and committed to the highest standards. We are members of the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS) and the Property Redress Scheme (PRS), and we hold Client Money Protection (CMP) through our SafeAgent accreditation, which provides additional reassurance and peace of mind.
All of our recommended contractors are accredited and carry public liability insurance for your protection from any claims. This means that you can be assured that anyone we send out to work on your home has been through our pre-approval system first to ensure they are competent and insured against loss or damage, in case there is an issue or an accident.
It is important to ensure that your property is being looked after especially when you first let a property. We can organise these regular inspections for you and report back to you on the condition of the property at any time. This helps to ensure any problems and maintenance issues that your tenants have failed to tell us about are nipped in the bud before they become more serious. We recommend that a property inspection is always carried out prior to negotiating a tenancy extension. It is important to check who is residing at the property to avoid breaches of Right to Right Regulations.
When your property becomes available to rent, we will proactively find new tenants willing to pay the optimum rent as quickly as possible to minimise the risk of a void period occurring between tenancies.
We will also handle all the necessary paperwork, from rigorous reference checks, preparation of new tenancy agreements, inventory checks at the beginning and end of a tenancy, deposit registration and ongoing rent collection.
In the real world, things go wrong and sometimes tenants struggle with their rental payments and arrears may start to accrue. In this situation the Tenancy Management team are trained on dealing with these issues specifically and a strict process has to be followed here to ensure that you are honouring your tenancy, not harassing the tenants, abiding by any policies and mortgage requirements, yet being active to ensure swift payment or resolution is sought. Our Tenancy Management team will take care of all of this for you.
This can be a contentious issue at the end of a contract and there are also many rules now on how deposits have to be protected. Here at Peter Clarke we will take care of all of this for you and negotiate at the end of the tenancy to make sure that the property is back to its original condition (except for fair wear and tear, of course) and in the event of us not being able to gain an agreement, the matter will be referred to TDS arbitration as is required now.
In today’s market, many corporate and private tenants are actively seeking properties that are professionally managed, safe in the knowledge that any problems will be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Using Peter Clarke’s property management service helps to give your property the edge when it comes to attracting high calibre tenants, and minimises the chance of a void occurring.
