Premier Properties

PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Looking to rent your property in Hull?

We now manage around 100 commercial and residential properties placing the emphasis upon the quality of our service rather than the quantity; although we do intend to grow it will be in a controlled manner that only increases the quality of our service.

After being disappointed by the Hull lettings and management agency that looked after our own properties in the past we empathise with the Landlords situation and realise that the only way that we can be successful is if you are successful, by working together we hope that we can both be satisfied with the outcome. We are here for the long haul and have no need or inclination to take the quick buck.

We have over 30 years experience of being involved in the Hull property market and are one of the few council accredited businesses as well as being very active in the long established members of the ever growing and more powerful Humber Landlords association.

We feel that given these facts we very much have our ear to the ground and are as well placed as any body to assist you in the management of your home in the Hull area.

We also feel that we are doing a good job but always want to try and improve, our first step in this is initiating more proactive communication between ourselves and the Landlords we represent via a regular emailed newsletter.

Our office is in a highly prominent area on the busy main road of Newland Avenue, in the heart of the letting district and only ½ mile from the Hull University. This is due to take place in May 2010.

Our goals and aspirations, and how they connect with those of the landlord.

We monitor our marketing via enquiries received from our Boards, Own website, find-a-property website, Newspapers, walk ins, recommends and others, then adjust accordingly. The services we offer.

Inspections

We will inspect every property at least four times a year and provide you with any feed back, regarding any repairs or long term improvement options.

Rent collections- our zero tolerance policy

We try to prevent arrears before the signing of the tenancy agreement, by telling the prospective tenant about the adverse affects of not paying rent on time i.e. Penalty costs, legal actions, debt collectors knocking on their door etc. We also have them sign a document which spells out these consequences and by doing so they agree to all the above methods of collection, please feel free to discuss any arrears with us at any time and we will be happy to discuss the alternative collection methods.

Debt collections

When arrears become debts and the tenant has not responded to our legal letters and other demands, normally after being a month overdue. At this stage we will contact you for your decision, you may also want us to commence eviction procedures. The two main options are legal proceedings (if the tenant is working) or a debt collector.

Maintenance procedures- our Rapid response policy.

Small issues if left unattended can become big problems as with most things communication is the key, that is why we always try to attend matters reported on your property on the same day, if this is not possible then it will be as soon as possible, Over the years we have developed many excellent contacts and have close contacts with a number of specialist tradesmen and companies.

Due to the volume of business we provide to these contractors we negotiate a highly competitive rate, that we are happy to pass on to our Landlords.

Unless it is an emergency we will attain an estimate for your approval, nominate a tradesman, and, once the job has been completed, you will need to inspect the job before sanctioning payment.

The Landlord is free to use their own tradesmen at any time, all we would suggest is that you ensure that they hold the correct insurances (otherwise should an accident occur then the Landlord could be held responsible) and that the job is inspected before it is paid out on. You will also need to arrange the necessary notification to the tenants.
