As a landlord you are undoubtedly aware of the significant shifts occurring within the private rented sector. From the Renters' Rights Bill and the abolition of Section 21 'no-fault' evictions to the expansion of the Decent Homes Standard and general government uncertainty, the landscape is continually evolving. These changes, while aiming to improve tenant security, place increased responsibility and complexity on landlords. This is precisely where the expertise and dedication of an in-house property management team, like that at Greater London Properties, become invaluable.

The Challenge of Evolving Legislation

The government's commitment to strengthening renters' rights means landlords must stay meticulously informed and compliant. The abolition of Section 21, for instance, necessitates a thorough understanding of new grounds for possession, while the Decent Homes Standard will introduce more stringent requirements for property conditions. Failing to adhere to these regulations can lead to significant penalties, legal disputes, and reputational damage. For many landlords, keeping pace with these changes while managing their properties effectively is a daunting task.

Why In-House Management is Superior: Intimacy and Accountability

At Greater London Properties, we firmly believe that an in-house property management team offers a distinct advantage over outsourced hubs. Our team is not just a collection of administrators; they are an integral part of our independent, highly respected estate agency, deeply embedded in our core values of being Accountable, Ambitious, Approachable, and Authentic. This internal structure fosters a level of property intimacy and accountability that external providers simply cannot match.

Deep Property Intimacy

Our in-house managers develop a profound understanding of each property they oversee. They are familiar with its unique characteristics, maintenance history, and specific tenant needs. This intimate knowledge allows for proactive problem-solving, efficient maintenance scheduling, and a more personalised approach to tenant relations.
