This has established the company as the most significant rental agent in the area, with 75 managed properties from 62 landlords in its portfolio. Rentals are based on 6month rolling lets.
The company has developed several key facets within its business model. All rental properties are maintained to a good standard with most being fully managed by the agency. The agency maintains a good bank of tenants and has developed a reputation for reliability, honesty and prompt payment, with rent being guaranteed to the landlords.
The company is a member of the National Association of Estate Agents, Birmingham Association of Estate Agents and the Tenancy Dispute Service.
The business also benefits heavily from the rental income coming from the other tenants above the shop and to the rear.
