• Manage tenant queries, complaints, and ongoing tenancy concerns.
• Liaise with contractors, approve works (within agreed authority), and ensure invoices are processed correctly.
• Conduct rent reviews and advise landlords on rent increases, renewals, or continuation on the APT.

2. Landlord Relationship Management

• Act as the primary point of contact for landlords within your portfolio.
• Provide clear, proactive communication on maintenance, expenditure, tenancy status, and property performance.
• Build strong, trusted relationships with clients, ensuring they feel supported and informed.

• Arranging snagging
• Coordinating furniture pack installations
• Organising blinds installation
• Managing key release from developers
• Registering warranties
• Liaising with developers to resolve snags
• Ensure all onboarding information is communicated to front‑end lettings so properties can be marketed promptly.

4. Operational Responsibilities

• Ensure all mid‑tenancy fees, charges, and contractor invoices are added accurately.
• Inform the lettings team when a property needs remarketing.
• Book checkouts for Property Managers when tenants serve notice.
• Support the smooth handover of responsibilities to the Property Manager once a tenant gives notice to vacate.

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to manage landlord expectations professionally.
• Confident decision‑maker with good judgement around maintenance and expenditure.
• Experience liaising with contractors and managing works.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks, prioritise effectively, and stay organised.
• Experience onboarding new‑build properties is advantageous but not essential.

Personal Attributes

• Professional, calm, and solutions‑focused.
• Strong relationship‑builder with a client‑first mindset.
• Detail‑oriented, especially when handling maintenance, invoices, and tenancy changes.
• Confident in managing challenging conversations with tenants or landlords.
