What MX Estates does
Our support
Tailored Tenant Sourcing and Vetting
One of the most critical aspects of private market rentals management is finding the right tenants. Tenant turnover and vacancy periods can significantly impact a landlord’s revenue, making it essential to secure reliable, long-term tenants who will take care of the property and pay rent on time.
At MX Estates, we provide a meticulous tenant sourcing service that includes:
Advertising and Marketing: We use a combination of online platforms, local advertising, and our existing tenant database to market properties effectively. Targeting the right audience ensures that landlords find suitable tenants quickly, reducing void periods.
Comprehensive Vetting: Once prospective tenants express interest, we conduct thorough background checks, including credit checks, employment verification, and references from previous landlords. This rigorous vetting process helps ensure that only reliable, trustworthy tenants are selected.
Personalised Tenant Matching: Different properties suit different types of tenants. Whether your property is ideal for families, young professionals, or retirees, we tailor our marketing and tenant selection to attract the most suitable candidates for your property.
Legal Compliance: Protecting Your Investment
The UK rental market is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations, many of which have been updated in recent years. Staying on top of these legal requirements is essential for landlords, as failure to comply can lead to hefty fines, legal disputes, and reputational damage.
Some key areas of legal compliance for private market rentals include:
Tenancy Agreements: A properly drafted tenancy agreement is essential for protecting both landlords and tenants. We create legally binding, bespoke tenancy agreements that cover all necessary terms, ensuring that the landlord’s rights are protected and that the tenant understands their responsibilities.
Right to Rent Checks: Under UK law, landlords are required to check that prospective tenants have the legal right to rent in the country. This involves verifying their immigration status or residency. We handle these checks for you, ensuring that you remain compliant with immigration laws.
Deposit Protection: All tenant deposits must be placed in a government-approved deposit protection scheme. We manage this process on behalf of landlords, ensuring that deposits are protected and disputes are minimised at the end of the tenancy.
Health and Safety Compliance: Landlords are legally required to ensure that their properties are safe for tenants to live in. This includes obtaining Gas Safety Certificates, Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs), and ensuring smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are installed correctly. We arrange regular inspections to ensure your property meets all health and safety regulations.
Rent Collection and Financial Management
Ensuring that rent is collected on time is fundamental to maintaining a healthy cash flow for landlords. MX Estates provides comprehensive rent collection services, ensuring that landlords receive their rental income promptly and reliably each month.
Our services include:
Automated Rent Collection: We use modern systems that automatically collect rent from tenants on a set schedule, minimising late payments and ensuring landlords receive their income on time.
Financial Reporting: We provide landlords with detailed financial reports, outlining rental income, expenses, and any other relevant financial information. This transparency allows landlords to monitor the performance of their investment and make informed decisions.
Handling Late Payments: In the event of late payments, we handle all communication with tenants and implement appropriate follow-up procedures. If necessary, we can also initiate the legal steps required to recover unpaid rent.
Property Maintenance and Upkeep
Property maintenance is one of the most time-consuming aspects of managing a rental property, but it is also crucial for maintaining the value of the investment. A well-maintained property attracts high-quality tenants, commands better rental prices, and ensures tenant satisfaction, which reduces turnover rates.
Our property maintenance services are designed to provide proactive and responsive support:
Routine Inspections: We conduct regular property inspections to identify any maintenance issues before they become larger, more costly problems. This helps landlords avoid expensive repairs and ensures that the property remains in good condition throughout the tenancy.
24/7 Maintenance Support: Tenants may need urgent repairs outside of regular business hours. We offer a 24/7 maintenance hotline, ensuring that tenants can report issues and have them addressed promptly, reducing disruption and maintaining tenant satisfaction.
Professional Contractor Network: We work with a network of trusted contractors and tradespeople to provide high-quality maintenance and repairs. Whether it’s a small repair or a major refurbishment, we ensure that all work is carried out to the highest standards.
