National Property Group was set up by five landlords who between us own over 400 residential properties all over the UK. Between us we'd experienced just about everything to do with owning and managing these properties. We've used Letting Agents, and managed them ourselves. We've outsourced maintenance and we've employed our own people. We've let to private tenants and to tenants claiming housing benefit. When we've used Letting Agents ourselves in the past, we've generally been disappointed. We believe there is a misalignment between the objectives of Agents and Landlords. They typically charge a flat commission across a couple of hundred properties so have little incentive to go the extra mile. We know that small things (especially across a number of properties) can make a big difference to the property owner. We've also set up a bespoke software system to manage everything efficiently. As a landlord you have access to your own secure section of this so you can check on rent receipts and the progress of maintenance issues. We see absolutely no need in this day and age to have branches across the UK. We've successfully managed our own properties without the need for this and we believe it is better to invest in setting up a system, using sophisticated software, to manage properties efficiently. Tenants find us through our press adverts, To Let boards, or online. Our Field-based Property Managers manage the viewings and complete all paperwork in the property. All this enables us to offer you a premium quality service at a very competitive rate, to Landlords with a portfolio of 10 properties or more. Before taking on any new properties we conduct a free, no obligation portfolio review with you, so that we can discuss with you what we can expect to achieve in terms of your portfolio profitability. We think it's important for you that you know what this is before you ask us to manage your properties.
