URL: https://fullpropertymanagement.co.uk/what-is-full-property-management Kicker: Full management ## Quick answer Full property management means an agent handles marketing, referencing, rent collection, maintenance coordination, compliance renewals, and tenant communication on your behalf — for an ongoing percentage of rent, typically 14–20% inc VAT depending on agent and location. ## Steps 1. **Tenant-find vs rent collection vs full** — Tenant-find stops after move-in. Rent collection chases standing orders. Full management covers repairs, inspections, compliance, and tenant liaison. 2. **What's usually included** — Portal marketing, referencing, AST setup, deposit registration support, rent statements, maintenance coordination, certificate chasing, and a named point of contact. 3. **What's often extra** — Section 13 notices, major works project management, checkout fees, tenancy renewals, and contractor mark-ups. 4. **When full management makes sense** — Remote landlords, portfolios, compliance-heavy properties, or anyone who wants repairs handled without midnight phone calls. ## People also ask ### What is full property management? An ongoing service where the agent manages the property day-to-day: rent, repairs, compliance, and tenant contact — not just finding a tenant. ### How much does full property management cost? Typically 14–20% of monthly rent inc VAT for fully managed, depending on agent, location, and property type. ### Is full management worth it?

Independent agents often charge less than national chains. ## Steps 1. **Typical percentage ranges** — Independent/local agents often quote around 14.4% inc VAT. National chains commonly sit at 19–20.4% inc VAT. 2. **Common extras to watch** — Tenancy renewal fees, checkout/inventory charges, Section 13 notice fees, compliance admin, and maintenance mark-ups. 3. **Compare like for like** — Same service tier (fully managed), same property type, same rent band. 4. **Negotiate before you sign** — Multi-property landlords often get better rates. ## People also ask ### How much is full property management per month? On £1,500 pcm at 18% inc VAT, that's about £270/month or £3,240/year — before extras. ### What is a Section 13 fee?

Often yes — especially on renewals, mark-ups, and multi-property portfolios. --- # Full management vs tenant-find — know the difference. URL: https://fullpropertymanagement.co.uk/full-management-vs-tenant-find Kicker: Service tiers ## Quick answer Tenant-find (let-only) covers marketing, referencing, and move-in — then you manage. Rent collection chases rent only. Full property management covers day-to-day repairs, compliance, tenant contact, and maintenance coordination for an ongoing fee. ## Steps 1. **Tenant-find only** — One-off or upfront fee. You handle repairs, compliance renewals, and tenant contact after move-in. 2. **Rent collection** — Agent chases rent and may provide statements — but repairs and compliance are still on you unless agreed otherwise. 3. **Full property management** — Ongoing % of rent for a named manager who coordinates repairs, chases certificates, handles tenant queries. 4. **Upgrading tiers** — Many landlords start with tenant-find then switch to full when distance or workload bites. ## People also ask ### What is tenant-find only? The agent markets the property, references tenants, and sets up the tenancy — then you manage repairs, compliance, and day-to-day contact. ### Is rent collection the same as full management? No. Rent collection typically covers chasing rent only. Full management includes repairs, compliance, inspections, and tenant liaison. ### When should I choose full management? When you're remote, time-poor, own multiple properties, or want compliance and repairs handled without DIY admin. --- # Questions to ask before you instruct full management. URL: https://fullpropertymanagement.co.uk/questions-to-ask Kicker: Before you sign ## Quick answer Before instructing full property management, ask for a printed fee schedule, what's included vs extra, a named local manager (not a call centre), ARLA membership, repair mark-up policy, Section 13 fees, termination notice period, and references from other landlords — then compare 2–3 quotes. ## Steps 1. **Fee schedule & extras** — Get every charge in writing: headline %, VAT, renewals, checkout, Section 13, compliance admin, and contractor mark-ups. 2. **Named manager & coverage** — Who is your day-to-day contact? Is it a local branch or a national call centre? 3. **Credentials & references** — ARLA Propertymark registered? References from landlords with similar properties? 4. **Exit terms** — Notice period to leave, early exit fees, and handover of keys, deposits, and certificates. ## People also ask ### What should I ask a letting agent before signing? Fee schedule, included vs extra services, named manager, ARLA registration, repair mark-ups, Section 13 fees, termination notice, and landlord references. ### What repair mark-up do agents charge? Often 10–20% on contractor invoices. ### How long is a typical management contract? Varies — often 12 months with notice periods of 1–3 months. --- # Why choose full property management? URL: https://fullpropertymanagement.co.uk/why-full-property-management Kicker: Why full management ## Quick answer Full property management suits remote landlords, busy professionals, and portfolio owners who need compliance chased, repairs coordinated quickly, and a local named manager tenants can reach — often for less than national chain fees if you compare independent agents. ## Steps 1. **Compliance without the fog** — Gas, EICR, EPC, deposit rules, and the Renters' Rights Act — agents who manage properly track renewals. 2. **Maintenance speed** — A local manager with trusted contractors beats googling emergency plumbers from another county. 3. **Remote landlord peace of mind** — If you don't live near the property, full management isn't a luxury. 4. **Tenant preference** — Many tenants prefer managed properties with a reachable agent for repairs. ## People also ask ### Is full property management worth the fee? For remote or time-poor landlords, usually yes — compare the annual fee against travel, time, compliance risk, and void costs. ### Do tenants prefer managed properties? Many do — especially for repairs and deposit queries. ### Who offers full management in Doncaster?
