Legislative issues
Many owners are unaware of the difficulties and legislative issues involved when managing their property. Unreasonable tenant behaviour and the responsibilities imposed on landlords under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1988 are just two of the areas that can leave landlords lost for an appropriate response. Oliver’s Property Management ensures that landlord’s are kept aware of changes in legislation, as well ensuring that their property complies with all current regulations.
Handling the everyday
The Management Department of Oliver’s Residential consists of experienced property negotiators specialising in maintaining a vast number of properties in and around London. We can act as the main point of contact for you and your tenant throughout the duration of the tenancy. We help by being firm but fair with tenants and preventing small problems becoming a burden.
Resolving the issues
Our contacts in the industry enable us to send reliable contractors to resolve maintenance issues that arise. In the current climate, this again relieves our landlords of unnecessary worry and expense.
Liability & safety
In these increasingly litigious times, Oliver’s is aware of ever-changing government legislation concerning liability and safety. These are very real concerns for landlords. Ongoing training keeps us up-to-date with new legislation and helps our clients to steer clear of problems.
Safe Hands
Allowing us to deal with the day-to-day tasks such as negotiating deposit releases, paying utility bills, organising repairs, answering tenants' queries, and arranging gas safety certificates, means our clients enjoy greater peace-of-mind, knowing their property is in safe hands.
