Our property management services in Clapham
Our services cover the full tenancy lifecycle including:
Tenant sourcing and referencing: Our team of experts market your property, conduct viewings and carry out thorough referencing of tenants including employment checks, credit checks, landlord references and Right to Rent verification.
Rent collection: We conduct rent collection on a monthly basis, with statements sent directly to you. Our management team will follow up if a tenant falls behind and will manage the entire process on your behalf.
Maintenance and repairs: Tenants can report repairs at any time through our 24-hour line. We act as the point of contact for the contractor, keep you informed on costs and contact you before any work is approved. With years of experience in the industry, we have established relationships with trusted contractors in the area.
Property inspections: During all tenancies we visit the property and perform thorough checks. We will provide photographic evidence along with a written report of your property, ensuring transparency.
Deposit handling: We manage all deposits from registration through to reconciliation and check-out. We also deal with negotiations if there are any deductions.
Access and key holding: We hold your keys securely and coordinate any contractor or emergency access. This is important if you are based outside of London or travel consistently.
Compliance and safety for Clapham landlords
The rules that apply to landlords in London are detailed and change frequently. Clapham becomes even more complicated as it is closely divided between two boroughs, Lambeth and Wandsworth, and both have differing licensing practices and rules.
We handle compliance as part of our property management service and this includes:
- Gas safety certificates: Arranged annually, no chasing required on your end
- EICRs: Five-yearly electrical inspection, coordinated well before it lapses
- EPCs: Minimum E rating is currently required and we flag properties that might need upgrades
- Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms: Tested at every check-in and during inspections
- Deposit protection: Registered with a government-approved scheme within 30 days of the tenancy starting
- Tenancy documentation: All prescribed information and the Tenant Information Sheet prepared and issued correctly
If a selective licensing application is required, we check your property's situation with the appropriate council and make an application on your behalf. For landlords with a freehold interest, our
block management team can assist.
Property management FAQs: Clapham
What does property management in Clapham include?
Tenant sourcing, rent collection, inspections, compliance, maintenance and repairs, deposits, keys. Your own dedicated property manager so you have one point of contact, not a call centre and not a rotating rota.
How do you keep gaps between tenancies short?
We start before the current tenancy is up. Rent reviews take place efficiently, refresh work gets booked in advance, and marketing begins as soon as we know that a property will be ready. The target is zero void weeks, and we are usually close.
What inspections happen during a tenancy?
Regular property inspections with a report and photographs supplied. Gas safety is checked each year, and EICRs happen on the five-year cycle. If an issue arises during an inspection, we flag it and recommend a course of action rather than just noting it down.
Can you manage the property if I live abroad?
Many of our landlords are not based in London. We keep the keys, arrange all access, and communicate with you so you are up to speed no matter where you are located. We can also provide advice regarding the HMRC tax position if you are a non-resident landlord.
Do you chase rent arrears?
Yes, and we are on top of it. If rent is overdue, a call or email is made within days at the latest. If a habit develops, we advise as to the formal steps that should be taken, including the notice formalities under present legislation.
What licensing applies to my Clapham property?
It depends on which borough your property sits in, the number of tenants sharing it, and whether any selective licensing scheme is in place. We check this on each property we take on and handle the application if one is needed.
