We take pride in our property management services and aim to ensure the smooth running of the tenancy process. 

We currently manage hundreds of landlords with property assets worth over £100million which continues to grow. We pride ourselves on ensuring we place the right tenant for your property and successfully manage the whole process thereafter.

We also find most properties that are managed tend to renew for longer periods and at higher rents with more satisfied tenants as we can deal with emergencies and issues in a responsive manner. Our property managers are also trained to assess issues and contact one of our approved contractors to provide you and tenants with both temporary and long-term resolutions.

We want to provide a consistent service to our tenants, benefiting landlords as we can ensure they are legally protected and any issues that arise are dealt with early on to avoid escalating problems and as mentioned above, tenants renew their tenancies for longer periods under our managed service.

Having options in life is usually a good thing, but there are times when too much can be confusing.

If you are a landlord, you know it makes sense to seek help from a skilled and experienced letting agent. However, you are likely overwhelmed by your options.

We know you have many agents to consider in and around East London and Essex, and you might be struggling to know which agent is best for you.

Below are a few reasons that landlords choose us:

Landlords are far too busy

We have landlords from all walks of life, some are accidental landlords who have re-located out of the area, some are portfolio landlords who are based outside of the country and others just do not have the time to efficiently manage their property and that’s where we step in. Our property management team can help save you time by managing your property assets so you can continue with whatever you need to do or love doing.

You need an agent with local knowledge

Local knowledge is vital in the property and rental market. When an agent knows who the most likely tenants are, what they want in a rental property, where they look for homes, and why the local area is a good fit for them, it becomes easier to connect with them.

At William Grant & Partners, we have been operating since 1989 and our team have a combined knowledge of the area of over 100 years. We are proud to say we know the local area and the history of the local area.

If you are looking for an agent, who knows why this area is so great to live in and how it should be presented to prospective tenants, look no further. This local knowledge has always worked in our favour in sourcing the most suitable tenants for you.

Knowledge & Legislation

Landlords in England must comply with more than 160 pieces of legislation (and growing). As well as National guidelines for landlords there are also local regulations that may be enforced by your local Borough to do with licensing. We understand this legislation. It is a full-time job tracking changes, updates and new regulations. You are better off leaving this to a professional, and we will stay up to date with legislation, so you don’t have to. As the government looks to crack down on rogue landlords we are here to ensure that you comply with the law and legislation for landlords.

Creating a business relationship with their tenant

Many landlords through experience have learned to keep relationships strictly professional with tenants, of course it is wonderful to get on with your tenants and we strongly encourage it. However, we have found that when we act as a managing agent on behalf of the landlord it sets a formal tone to dealings and therefore each party, whether it’s the landlord or tenant, are kept compliant, ensuring a smooth business relationship moving forward.

Monthly statements

Many landlords, especially portfolio landlords, do not have the time to check bank accounts and keep up to date with their property investments, let alone send a receipt statement to tenants each month. With our property management package, we provide you with a landlord statement each month to assist you in managing your finances.

You need an Agent who does all the work for you

William Grant & Partners provide services that take care of all the work. We have an in-house property management team, which means the work we do is carried out by this company's employees, this includes property inspections which play an increasingly important role for landlords. We know some agents outsource services or provide bolt-on services that utilise the work of other companies. We don’t believe this provides landlords or tenants with the best support.

Access to reputable and efficient tradespeople

We have access to reliable, efficient and professional tradespeople, including tradespeople we have successfully dealt with time and time again who have the correct trade insurance policies in case things go wrong. The value of having access to our network of tradespeople itself is often a reason landlords choose us to manage their property.

You need a letting agent who is not like others

If you cannot tell the difference between letting agents, you won’t tell the difference between the service you receive.

At William Grant & Partners, we offer a complete package to professional manage your property.

We take a multi-faceted approach to property because we know that homes and houses are not one-dimensional, and neither are we. Our approach to managing rental property ensures you, as a landlord, get the most from us and your property investment.
