What we do
Everything a landlord needs, under one roof
Practical, day-to-day management for single lets across Dudley borough — built for landlords who want their evenings and weekends back.
Rent collection
Monthly rent collected, monitored and paid over with a clear statement. Arrears chased early and consistently, with a straightforward escalation process.
Maintenance coordination
Tenant repair requests logged, triaged and dealt with through local trades. You approve anything significant before work goes ahead.
Compliance tracking
We track renewal dates for gas safety records, EICRs, EPCs, smoke and CO alarm checks, and prompt you well before anything lapses.
Inspections & reporting
Periodic property visits with photo reports, flagging small issues before they become expensive ones — and confirming the tenancy is running as it should.
Tenancy & deposit guidance
Tenancy agreements arranged, deposits registered with a government-approved scheme, and prescribed information handled correctly from day one.

We deliberately don't publish headline rates: a two-bed terrace in Coseley and a four-bed semi in Stourbridge are different jobs. Tell us about the property and we'll give you a clear, written quote with no obligation.
Why us
A local, launching service — run the way we'd want our own properties managed
We're a new management service, and we're honest about that. What we offer instead of a long trading history is focus: a small portfolio, managed carefully, by people who know Dudley and the Black Country street by street.
-
Genuinely local knowledge We know realistic rents and tenant demand across Dudley, Stourbridge, Halesowen and the surrounding towns — not estimates from a national database.
-
Small by design We'd rather manage fewer properties well than many properties badly. You deal with a person who knows your property, not a call centre.
-
Compliance-first mindset Gas safety, electrical safety, deposit rules — the obligations on landlords keep growing. We build tracking in from day one rather than bolting it on.
-
Plain-English reporting Clear statements, photo inspection reports and honest updates — including when the news isn't what you'd hoped.
How it works
From first chat to first rent payment
A straightforward onboarding process, whether your property is empty, newly purchased, or already tenanted with another agent.
Tell us about the property
Email us the basics — address, property type, current status. We'll arrange a conversation and a visit at a time that suits you.
Get a written quote
You receive a clear proposal: recommended service level, realistic rent guidance for the area, and a written fee quote. No pressure, no lock-in tricks.
We set everything up
Marketing, viewings, referencing, tenancy paperwork, deposit registration and a compliance check of the property before move-in.
You go hands-off
Rent lands with a statement each month. Repairs, tenant queries and inspection visits are handled — you hear from us when it matters.
Staying compliant
The obligations we track for you
Landlord compliance isn't optional — and missed dates can be costly. These are the key items we monitor on managed properties.
Gas safety (CP12)
Annual gas safety checks by a Gas Safe registered engineer, with records issued to tenants and renewal dates tracked.
Electrical safety (EICR)
Electrical installation condition reports at the required intervals, with any remedial work flagged to you clearly.
Energy performance (EPC)
Valid EPC in place before marketing, with minimum energy efficiency standards considered before a tenancy begins.
Deposit protection
Deposits registered with a government-approved scheme and prescribed information served within the required timeframe.
This is a summary of common obligations, not an exhaustive list and not legal advice. Requirements vary by property and can change — we'll always point you to current official guidance where a decision is yours to make.

FAQ
Questions landlords ask us
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, email us and we'll reply properly.
How much do you charge?
We don't publish set rates because every property and tenancy is different. Tenant Find is a one-off fee; Rent Collection and Fully Managed are charged from a percentage of the monthly rent. Contact us with the property details and we'll send a clear written quote — no obligation, no pressure.
My property is already let — can you take over management?
Yes. We handle mid-tenancy takeovers regularly in principle: we review the existing tenancy paperwork, confirm the deposit is correctly protected, check compliance records are current, and introduce ourselves to the tenant so the transition is smooth.
Who decides on repairs and how much gets spent?
You do, for anything non-urgent. We agree an authorisation limit with you at the start — minor items under that limit are dealt with quickly, and anything above it comes to you first with our recommendation. Genuine emergencies are made safe first, then reported to you straight away.
How do you find and vet tenants?
We advertise the property, conduct accompanied viewings, and put applicants through full referencing: credit checks, employment and income verification, previous landlord references, and Right to Rent checks. We'd rather leave a property empty an extra week than move the wrong tenant in.
What happens if the tenant stops paying rent?
We chase promptly and keep you informed at every step — first contact within days of a missed payment, not weeks. Most arrears are resolved with early, firm communication. If a situation escalates, we'll set out your options clearly, including where you may need independent legal advice.
Am I tied into a long contract?
Our terms are written in plain English and we'll walk you through the notice arrangements before you sign anything. We want landlords to stay because the service is good — not because leaving is painful.
