We’re a property management company with an enthusiastic team of lettings professionals who can manage your property from start to finish. We pride ourselves on securing fast occupancies with professional tenants and ensuring renewals are a seamless process, limiting any potential void periods.

Since the increased tightening of lettings regulations, it has become crucial for landlords to choose a competent property management agency that is also a member of a professional body. Therefore, our landlords can relax knowing they are operating both successfully and legally in the buy-to-let industry.

CityRise makes a promise to our current and prospective landlords that all buy-to-let compliance checks are satisfied before a tenant moves into your property. These range from carrying out all ‘right to rent’ checks, obtaining Energy Performance and Gas Safety Certificates, to informing you of any potential landlord licences required. Our experienced rental property management team then goes above and beyond to source and retain fantastic, professional tenants for a seamless buy-to-let property investment.

FAQs About Our Property Management Company

What does a property management agency do?

As a property management company, we take the stress away from being a landlord to provide a hands-off investment. We manage the property on behalf of the landlord, ensuring the property remains well-maintained through regular inspections and that it’s legally compliant and financially viable. From the initial marketing of the property and sourcing trustworthy tenants, through to collecting rent, day-to-day communication and arranging maintenance, everything is dealt with to the highest standard on your behalf. At the end of tenancy, our rental property management agency also supports a strict aftercare protocol for a seamless transition to a new tenancy. We are experienced professionals, committed to providing end-to-end support.

How much do agencies charge for property management?

There is an initial let fee of £400. This includes photographing and marketing the property, conducting viewings, preparing the tenancy, carrying out a reference check (£50 for additional applicants), registering the deposit, and creating an inventory report. The ongoing monthly property management fee for our agency is 12%. The service includes monthly rent collection, rent arrears management, 24-hour tenant maintenance and an emergency contact.

A mid-tenancy inspection is available for £45 to ensure the property remains clean and well-maintained. The tenancy renewal process is £85, while a full check-out inspection, including a detailed report and handling of deposit claims and returns, is £125. We also offer let-only fee options, without the ongoing monthly management fee, along with furniture packages.

How involved do I need to be as a landlord when I appoint a property management agency?

When you appoint us as your property management company, you can enjoy a completely hands-off experience. We will update you at important points during the tenancy and talk over any maintenance costs so you’re always in the loop. However, if you’d rather leave everything to us, we’re more than happy to handle it all. Choosing a reputable buy-to-let property management agency means you can put your trust in us and take a step back.

Can CityRise also support the sourcing and purchase of buy-to-let properties?

Absolutely. We have decades of experience in sourcing below-market-value properties for our clients, to help maximise the return on your buy-to-let investment. Choosing the right property for your investment is essential to ensure it’s not only financially viable but will also provide a strong monthly yield.

We have exclusive access to off-market properties across the UK, and our team of experts will make personalised recommendations on the right properties for you based on your investment goals. Through aggressive due diligence, we create an extremely accurate investment profile to give you the confidence you need to make a fantastic investment. We can then stay on as your property management company to prepare the property for the tenancy, supporting you with the entire BRRR investment.
