Newport Property Management

We believe that you should be able to enjoy the benefits of being a landlord, without taking on any extra work or stress. The rental market is performing strongly in Newport and surrounding areas, and there’s plenty of opportunity to generate an excellent rental yield for landlords.

Our property management services in Newport are entirely bespoke and tailored to your personal requirements. We cover a wide area, so whether your property is in South East Wales or Newport itself, we can help manage it to its full potential. All our services operate on a ‘no let, no fee’ basis. That means, if in the unlikely situation we can’t find you a suitable tenant, you won’t pay us a penny.

What level of property management do you need?

The first step is to arrange a meeting with one of our rental experts, either in person or over the phone, to discuss your requirements. We’ll carry out a free valuation to give you an idea how much rent your property could achieve, then, we’ll put together a tailored management plan for you to consider, with a break-down of the fees involved.

Our services include the following:

Finding new tenants:

• Free property appraisal
• Comprehensive marketing
• Accompanied viewings for pre-screened applicants
• In depth tenancy referencing, which includes land registry checks where appropriate
• Tenant social media checks

Paperwork and legalities:

• Serving all mandated documents to the tenants at the start of the tenancy
