The Basics

How Does Property Management Work In The UK?Your Agent Acts For You. You Stay Responsible.

A property manager or letting agent acts as the landlord’s representative, but only within the scope of a written agreement. Legal responsibility for the property always remains with the landlord, unless explicitly transferred by law.

What Stays With You

Still The Landlord’s Responsibility

  • Legal accountability for the property
  • Safety
  • Compliance
  • Funding decisions

What Your Agent Does

A Managing Agent Will Typically

  • Market the property using landlord-approved information
  • Source and reference tenants
  • Prepare tenancy agreements and move-in documentation
  • Register deposits and serve prescribed information
  • Collect rent and manage arrears, if contracted
  • Coordinate repairs within agreed authority limits
  • Track compliance deadlines and flag requirements

What Our Landlords Say

Know The Limits

What Full Management Does Not MeanDelegated Administration, Not A Transfer Of Legal Liability.

Full management does not remove your legal obligations as a landlord. A strong management agreement should clearly define:

  • What is included, and what is excluded
  • Repair spending limits
  • Emergency authority thresholds
  • Communication and reporting standards
  • Record keeping and evidence retention
