Property Management
Both private and corporate clients are increasingly demanding professionally managed properties. Our cost effective service is fully comprehensive to give you total peace of mind.
Our tailor-made property management is an essential part of our lettings service. After finding you a tenant, we take care of them and you, throughout the tenancy. That includes everything from collecting rent and handling all administration to assistance with more complex issues and the provision of a 24-hour emergency helpline.
We also continually vet local tradesmen, services and suppliers, and use only companies providing the very best quality workmanship and value on behalf of our clients. What's more, you can even use Orchards Property Management if your home is not rented through Orchards.
Processing The Property
Once confirmation of your instruction has been received, we will process your property. From just one visit, one of our specialist team will take time and effort to present your property in the best possible light and then place it in the appropriate media quickly, professionally and efficiently.

Compliance With Safety Regulations
As a landlord, you have an obligation to ensure that your property complies with all the necessary regulations covering the safety of gas appliances, electrical installations and any furnishings supplied for the tenancy. We can advise you on this and arrange the necessary inspections.
