  • 3. 

    Have you ever felt overwhelmed with all the important things you cannot get accomplished, such as marketing for new landlords, because you have too many distractions, e.g. tenancy paperwork, chasing rents and/or instructing contractors?

    • No. We have people assigned to different roles to ensure all tasks are accomplished just as they should be.

    • Sometimes, but generally only when team members are on annual leave.

    • In the busier months, yes, this can be an issue - but in the quieter months everything runs smoothly.

    • All the time. There never seems to be enough hours in the day.

    Rate this question:

    • No - we have a loyal team of staff that have worked together for years.

    • Not quite 5% but close to it.

    • Yes, but no more than 10%

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Do you have a structured renewals process in place - which includes rent reviews?

    • Yes, we have the required processes in place.

    • We tend to put reminders in our diary system and generally that works OK.
