As part of ASA’s total service to clients we will not only acquire and refurbish properties where required, we will also arrange the letting and management of the property. Our close association with a small number of reputable agents enables us to ensure that your property is let and managed to the highest professional standards. As managing agents they provide a residential property management service for home owners living abroad and property purchased for investment by UK residents or international clients.

The demand for rental properties is currently strong and prospective tenants have been making quick decisions. Average rents in London have risen over the past 12 months which reflects the fact that there is a shortage of particularly one and two bedroom properties in desirable areas. However, careful selection, credit checking and referencing potential tenants has to be carried out professionally and is an essential part of the service we provide in conjunction with the management agent we select.

This is part of the complete property management service that we are focused on providing and the way in which we work with management agents ensures a seamless and smooth service throughout the period of your investment.

Well maintained buildings and attractive interiors make a significant contribution to the value of the property. We would be delighted to work for you, and add our expertise, whether you are considering refreshing a property by changing soft furnishings or transforming the property by a total refurbishment.

Benefits:

• As interior design specialists and property professionals with many years experience, we can provide a complete service from the setting out of the specification and budget, management of the order process, monitoring progress with third parties, cost and time control and ensuring that the project, be it large or small, is undertaken and completed to the client’s satisfaction.
• By drawing on our local contacts we can ensure that you achieve high standards of workmanship and competitive prices without wasting your valuable time.
• Our in depth knowledge of the market place means that we can advise you on how best to maximise your rental income for the minimum outlay and to enhance your property with regard to capital appreciation.
• Alternatively, if the property is for your own use, we can help turn your ideas into the home of your dreams.
• Some of our clients may purchase “sight unseen” and therefore seek the reassurance that they can simply relay their brief and leave us a budget, furnish, refurbish and manage the project on their behalf.
