Tempus Property Management

Are you…

Struggling to fill your property?

Losing money due to void periods?

An accidental landlord?

Just simply sick of having to deal with tenants!

We understand that letting a property can be a very unpredictable and demanding process. There are so many uncertainties that can drastically affect your actual rental income, so you might end up with much less than you envisaged, or even end up losing money. This is often a shock, particularly for new landlords, who imagine that at the end of the year, they’ll have 12 times the monthly rental in their pockets. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case.

We can help!

We can offer ‘hassle free’ letting, you receive fixed monthly payments regardless of whether the property is ‘let’ or ‘vacant’ and even if the tenant stops paying. We offer a minimum 12 month contract during which we manage every aspect of the tenancy. There are absolutely no fees, commissions or hidden extras to pay.

The key difference between our scheme and more traditional services is that it is a contractual management agreement between us and you (the landlord) in which we, effectively, become your tenant.

We guaranteed your rent

If the property is vacant or the tenant fails to pay the rent, you don’t need to worry… you still get paid! You will know exactly what will arrive in your bank account each month for the duration of the contract.

We deal with the tenants

You won’t be bothered at any time by the tenant residing in the property. That means there’ll be no more phone calls in the middle of the night to deal with a burst pipe or broken boiler! We will take care of this all for you.

No empty (void) periods

There’s no need to worry about the property being empty. We pay you even when the property is empty so there are no void periods on the property for you. With the average void period between tenants of 60 days (according to the NLA survey in April 2013) this will really help secure your income.

Internal condition guaranteed

We manage your property and effectively become your tenants, so it is vital that the tenants we select treat your property with care and respect. At check out, we cover the cost of internal damages up to 1.5 months’ rent, so if things do get damaged, we take the financial hit.

No fees or commission

There are no charges for setting the contract up, no tenant introduction fees, no commissions and absolutely no ‘hidden extras’ to pay.

Legal costs are covered

On occasion, there is a need for court action to evict a tenant or recover unpaid rent. This can be both time-consuming and costly. With our scheme we will meet all the legal costs & manage the process whilst you continue to receive your rental payments.

So, how does it work?

We’ve found that Landlords tend prefer tenants who are professionals, so we become your professional tenant. What this means is that you only ever have to deal with us, thus providing a great solution for you as a Landlord because you understand that we will treat your property as if it were our own. We will even take care of all minor maintenance to the property so you don’t have to.

Once we have determined that your property is suitable, we will offer you rent at 60 – 100% of the current going rate depending on the location and condition of the property. We will then let out your property to reliable local and international professionals who are looking for accommodation in the area. We do full referencing and background checks on tenants and take on the responsibility off your shoulders to give you peace of mind.

We effectively become your tenant

Many landlords prefer tenants who are professionals; we become your professional tenants. You will only ever deal with us as the contract is between us and you (the landlord).

We select the right tenants

We take great care in selecting the right kind of tenants because if they stop paying, leave suddenly or damage the property, we take the financial hit rather than you.

There’s a fixed start date

No matter how long it takes us to find the right tenant, once the contract is signed and we have the keys to the property we promise to start paying you the rent on or before a set date.

Sounds great… what’s the catch?

Honestly? There isn’t one!

Lots of people ask us how we make our money, especially when we don’t charge a set up fees or any commission. The answer is pretty simple; we pay you slightly less than the market rent value that we would hope to achieve for the property but, in return take on all the risk and responsibility for managing it.

Frequently asked questions

How does it work?

We effectively become your tenant, guaranteeing you a fixed annual rental income regardless of whether the property is empty or the tenant stops paying. We then fill the property, taking great care to select the right kind of tenants because if they stop paying, leave suddenly or damage the property then we will take the financial hit, not you.

Is it an insurance policy?

Absolutely not. Our service truly provides you with a guaranteed rent for 52 weeks of the year. Unlike other products on the market, we do not charge any premiums and we do not have any exclusions or clauses which may stop your rent payments.

If you are tempted by someone else’s Guaranteed rent insurance or landlord insurance coverage we encourage you to carefully read through all their small-prints first before signing up to anything.

What about the internal condition of the property?

When we put tenants in the property we take the normal deposit from the tenant which is then registered with one of the approved deposit protection services. When the tenant checks out, the deposit is used to cover the cost of damages that might have been incurred.

How long does the contract run for?

We can offer contract periods of anywhere from 2 to 5 years. Contracts can easily be renewed either on a rolling basis or for another fixed term.

What are the benefits to me as a landlord?

No void periods, no rent arrears, no commission, no set-up fees, no renewal fees and no other “hidden extras”. No need to deal with the tenants at all. We can be flexible with payment dates, contract lengths & start dates.

What do I do next?

Simply get in touch. Your details will be sent through directly us and we will contact you to either arrange for an appointment or to receive further information.

Is it for me?

We aim to help landlords who want the financial stability of knowing what their rental income will be each month but with the benefits of the best property management available. At the end of the day, it is important to us that you make the right choice of letting service.
