ABC Property Shop
Company Overview
A little bit about why we are so different ......
After working for over 35 years in the Letting Industry in 2008 Sue Smith found that despite attempting to change the attitudes of Agents to one of being morally responsible for their actions and to act in an ethical manner, it had been, on the whole, unsuccessful.
A lone voice in the wilderness of property attempting to change the whole way of thinking of this industry.
It was time to stand alone and create her own Agency.
The doors to ABC were opened only months later.
An Agency with a different view on how Landlords and Tenants should be cared for.
Coupled with ensuring that we provided an ethical service to both our Landlords and Tenants, simple rules for ABC to adhere to were set :
1. To give Landlords free advice and support in the purchasing of properties.
2. Provide support and advice to Landlords on how to present the property, covering safety, legal and aesthetic issues, all of which go to ensuring maximum rent is achieved.
3. Refuse to advertise and let property that does not meet the basic requirements for safety and comfort.
4. To change the way in which Tenants are referenced to reduce landlords losses.
5. Guarantors for every Tenant.
6. Good behaviour contracts.
7. Hands on inspections - undertaken by staff employed by ABC
8. A specialist 'Vacations' team employed full time by ABC.
9. In house possession proceedings. No solicitors required unless a hearing is required and then costs significantly lower than normal.
10. Speediest possession and recovery of property as is possible.
10. In house post vacation Debt Recovery Service if ever needed.
Company History
Why would I change Agents when I am already with the best ? The above statement has been made, over the years a number of times by a variety of our Landlords when offered a lettings and management package by another agent.
Agents constantly believing that they can provide an all encompassing inclusive service for a lower and lower fee - which in turn is very quickly resulting in our Clients, you - the Landlord receiving a poorer and poorer service.
Ultimately meaning that Landlords income reduces, higher arrears, properties inspected less - all of which have an extremely negative effect on the overall yield of your investment.
ABC offer an ALL INCLUSIVE management fee.
Where you, our Client are able to relax in the understanding that all, day to day management requirements are included.
