10.
Managing your property smoothly
If we are managing your property, we’ll be there for you, taking care of everything, throughout the tenancy period.
You will have our entire expert team behind you, but we know from long experience that our clients prefer to have a single point of contact at Aston Woolf; someone who knows their property and the tenants who live there. So that’s exactly what we’ll provide; a named individual who will be personally responsible for ensuring the tenancy runs smoothly, dealing with everything from property maintenance to tenancy renewals, from chasing unpaid rents to renewing gas certificates, from routine inspections to refunding deposits when the tenants move out.
If a tenant misses a rental payment it flags up on our system straightaway. We’ll give them a call that day and find out what has happened. In most cases, we manage to collect the payment by debit of credit card over the phone and help them set up a new standing order.
We pay our landlords on the same day that we receive rent into our client account, so our landlords usually receive their rental income within a few hours of it arriving into our account.

FINANCE TEAM
The Aston Woolf finance team is there to set up rental standing orders, produce monthly landlord statements, ensure regular rent collection and that bills have been paid before tenants move out.
