Landlords. Our personal approach

We manage your property like it’s our own.

Maximising the return on your investment property is more than just a matter of collecting the rent when it’s due.

It’s about ensuring that

  • Your property is rented to good tenants that have been thoroughly referenced and meet all necessary criteria.
  • Rents are paid in full and on time.
  • Periodic inspections are scheduled.
  • Repairs and any changes to the property are managed.

It’s about caring for your property and keeping you informed.

As a Parsons Choice client, you will enjoy refreshing levels of personal and professional service.

Tenant Selection:
An important part of our role is to find and keep quality tenants in the properties we manage. Our thorough selection process fully investigates the following

  • Applicant’s requirements.
  • Professional third-party referencing, to include:
    • Credit Check,
    • Previous Landlord Reference,
    • Employment Reference,
    • Financial Stability,
    • Right to Rent / Sanctions Checks.

Marketing:
We’ll advertise your property on Zoopla and Prime Location and erect a To Let board if authorised.

Inventory & Inspections:
Prior to the start of a new tenancy, our managed properties will have a detailed inventory outlining it’s condition and complete a detailed report. Should you choose our managed service periodic inspections are conducted as necessary. An inspection report advises you of the state of your property, how well the tenant is maintaining it and what repairs are required. Our Property Management team has excellent contacts in every field required to keep your property in its absolute best condition. All our tradespeople are fully licensed, insured, they guarantee their work and are extremely cost competitive.

Changing from your existing Managing Agent to Parsons Choice is simple. We will take care of all the paperwork to ensure a smooth transition.

Parsons Choice is the best in the Region. After bad experiences with other property managers, I have nothing but praise for Evan and the Team. Excellent Service always at reasonable rates. I am happy and so is my Tenant. What more do I want. I would not hesitate to recommend them

Louise Haward
landlord

Evan and his team provide a very personable, friendly service to both Landlords and Tenants which is efficient and effective.

Angela Smith
landlord

In June 2009 I transferred the management of one of my properties to Parsons Choice due to increased charges and poor service from a very well known Letting Agent. Since then we have never looked back and in fact have transferred our remaining portfolio of properties to Parsons Choice. We are extremely pleased with the Friendly, professional and proactive management which Parsons Choice Extends

Mr & Mrs Jolly
landlord

You have been absolutely fantastic throughout the whole letting process and being our first time I don’t think we could have found anyone better to help us!
I will definitely be recommending your company to everyone I know and I will be telling them how great you have been through everything!

Rachel Hurley & Sean McDonald
