Helping landlords rent out and manage property in Kent

Whether you’re renting out a single property or are building a portfolio of buy-to-lets, as a landlord it’s crucial to work with a lettings agent you have confidence in.

At William Property Management we pride ourselves on having the industry know-how and friendly local experience you need from a lettings agent in and around Faversham, Canterbury, Whitstable and East Kent – and offering a professional and efficient service every time. We’ve won three ‘Gold’ British Property Awards to prove it!

Our mission is to make sure your tenants are happy in their homes, saving you time, energy and hassle.

8 steps to renting out your property with William Property Management:

1 We help you prepare your property ready for renting. This includes carrying out gas and electricity safety checks, and arranging for energy performance certificates (EPCs) if necessary.

2 We take professional-looking photos of your property and prepare a fully colour floorplan as standard. We’ve now also introduced detailed video walkthroughs for no extra fee. These mean that potential tenants can get a feel for your property on screen without needing to visit in person.

3 We advertise your property online, placing comprehensive details on Rightmove and Zoopla (plus numerous linked sites). We also boost exposure for your property on our Instagram and Facebook channels, instantly getting it seen by thousands more potential local tenants in Kent.

4 We manage and supervise all viewings.

5 When we find a suitable tenant for your property, we take care of the full reference process (including credit checks).

6 We prepare our solicitor-approved tenancy agreement and a full inventory of your property contents (including numerous digital photographs). We can also arrange a competitively-priced rental guarantee warranty, which is a way to cover the rent if your tenant defaults on payments.

7 We supervise your tenants as they move into your property on the chosen date.

8 If you choose our full management package, we then manage your property professionally and efficiently, taking care of any maintenance issues and collecting the rent if necessary.
