Key Facts for Landlords

Clear. Professional. Built Around Protecting Your Investment.

At 247 Property Services Limited, we believe good landlords value clarity, compliance, and competent management.

This page sets out the key facts of how we work, in plain English, so you can instruct us with confidence.

We manage property properly — no gimmicks, no hidden surprises, just professional service that stands up to scrutiny.

Who We Are

We are an established lettings and property management agency, operating from Doncaster and managing homes for local, national, and international landlords.

Our role is simple:

• To market your property correctly
• To select suitable tenants
• To manage the tenancy professionally
• To protect your asset and income as far as an agent reasonably can

We act as your appointed managing agent — not as the property owner and not as an insurer.

What We Do for Landlords (Fully Managed Service)

When you instruct us on a Fully Managed basis, we take care of the day-to-day operational burden, including:

• Marketing and tenant sourcing
• Comprehensive tenant referencing and Right-to-Rent checks
• Preparation and administration of tenancy agreements
• Rent collection and monthly landlord statements
• Deposit handling and protection (where applicable)
• Risk-based property inspections
• Coordinating repairs and maintenance
• End-of-tenancy inspections and deposit negotiations

Our systems, processes, and staff are built around long-term tenancy stability and asset protection, not short-term volume.

A Straightforward Approach to Compliance

The private rented sector is heavily regulated — and that is not a bad thing when managed properly.

We help landlords navigate:

• Safety certification (Gas, EICR, EPC, alarms)
• Licensing requirements (where applicable)
• Deposit protection rules
• Right-to-Rent obligations
• Ongoing management standards

While we assist and administer, legal responsibility ultimately sits with the property owner — something any professional agent should be honest about.

Rent Guarantee – Clear and Transparent

We are often asked about rent guarantees, so we are deliberately clear:

• 247 Property Services is not FCA-regulated
• We do not provide insurance products
• Any rent guarantee or rent protection is supplied by a separate third-party provider
• We act only as an introducer and administrator

This transparency protects you and ensures you know exactly what you are buying, from whom, and on what terms.

Fees – No Smoke and Mirrors

Our fees are:

• Clearly set out
• Explained before instruction
• Charged in line with the service provided
• Inclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise

Management fees are typically charged as a percentage of rent, subject to a minimum monthly charge.
Additional services (such as notices, inventories, or emergency call-outs) are only charged when required.

You will always receive clear rent statements showing income and deductions.

Inspections – Practical, Not Performative

Rather than rigid “tick-box” inspections that drive tenant turnover, we operate a risk-based inspection approach.

This allows us to:

• Monitor property condition effectively
• Identify issues early
• Maintain good tenant relationships

Written inspection reports are available on request or where risk, compliance, or lender requirements demand them.

Maintenance – Sensible Control

We are authorised to deal with routine repairs up to an agreed limit without delay.
This avoids unnecessary disruption and protects your asset.

For larger works:

• We consult you in advance wherever possible
• We obtain quotes where appropriate
• We supervise works professionally

In emergencies, we act immediately — because that is what good management requires.

Ending the Agreement – Fair and Reasonable

We do not trap landlords into unworkable contracts.

• Either party can terminate with two months’ written notice
• If termination occurs during an active tenancy, reasonable handover costs may apply
• Any such costs are evidenced and capped, not punitive

This structure is designed to be fair, transparent, and compliant with modern consumer standards.

Complaints & Redress

We operate a formal complaints procedure and are members of an approved redress scheme.

Our aim, however, is simple:

Problems are resolved early, professionally, and without escalation.

Why Landlords Choose 247 Property Services

Landlords who work with us typically value:

• Straight-talking advice
• Strong tenant selection
• Robust compliance processes
• Clear documentation
• A management team that takes responsibility seriously

We are not the cheapest — and we are not trying to be.
We are built for landlords who want their property managed properly.
