What sets our management apart

Every agency collects rents and handles leases. The difference lies in how your money, your information and your property are looked after.

A designated client account for your file alone

Your rents are paid into an account opened for you, separate from the agency's own funds.

A report every month

Rents received, invoices paid, fees deducted and balance transferred, property by property.

A manager who knows your property

A manager follows your file over time and knows your preferences.

Your obligations, tracked for you

Boiler, smoke detectors, EPB, indexation, insurance: every deadline is planned.

How we take over management

A single home or an entire portfolio, already let or not: we pick up your file where it stands.

  1. 1

    Reviewing your file

    We go through each property with you: current leases, tenants, deposits, service charges, technical condition and outstanding obligations.

  2. 2

    The management agreement

    You receive a written proposal, fees included. Once signed, we open your file and your designated client account.

  3. 3

    Taking over the file

    We gather leases, deposits, insurance and maintenance contracts, inform each tenant of the change of manager and the new payment details, then check indexations and legal deadlines.

  4. 4

    Day-to-day management

    Rents, charges, technical matters, claims and disputes. You are informed every month and consulted on every important decision.

A vacant home or a lease coming to an end? We also take care of letting: rent valuation, viewings, tenant selection and a new lease.

Transparency

Clear management, month after month.

Every month, you receive the management report for your properties: rents received, expenses incurred, fees deducted.

For any significant expense, you are consulted before we commit to the works.

And your manager remains available for every question, without waiting for the end of the month.

Fees you know before you sign

Everything is set out in writing in the management agreement. No surprise costs along the way.
