NOTES ON FURNISHING AND GENERAL HINTS ON LETTING PROPERTY:

Depending on the size, number of rooms, and layout of the property, furnished properties require a cooker, fridge, washing machine, cutlery, crockery, saucepans, living room suite, dining table and chairs, beds, wardrobes, vacuum cleaner and ironing board. Carpets, curtains and light fittings are standard. Bed linen, duvets, are not normally provided unless negotiated with the tenant (usually required for corporate lettings). Where there are gardens, a lawnmower and other garden implements should be provided. It should be noted that most tenants will just cut the grass. Please note that the tenants are not always very good at keeping the grass cut. We would professionally recommend getting an outside source to maintain the gardens. Items like televisions, CD and DVD players do not generally form part of a standard furnishing, but where they do, tenants are still responsible for their TV licences.

Properties should be thoroughly cleaned and painted if possible between each tenancy. We have found that tenants will respect a property more if it is presented in a respectful and professional manner. Very good presentation of the property will assist in the immediate letting. Pictures, mirrors and in some cases, flowers, all give a good first impression to the prospective tenant. Do not leave repairs unfinished, as tenants are wary of landlords' promises to carry out repairs.

Please provide us with as much information as possible regarding the property, which will assist in the letting e.g. availability of parking, security, amenities in the area, transport details, etc.

An inventory of all items in the property should be included in the lease agreement. Where the property is not managed, the landlord should provide an inventory to be included in the lease. This is very important when the tenant is vacating the property.

Management of your property

If you engage us to manage your property, we will provide the following services:-

MANAGEMENT CONTRACT

Point of Contact: Management Team

Yvonne Mullaney Executive Sales and Lettings acts as the point of contact for your Tenant and are available 24 hours a day should an emergency occur. A dedicated Property Manager will be assigned to manage your property/properties and you will be informed of any breaches of covenant brought to our attention.

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

Repairs
We will organise and liaise between contractors for you and your Tenant, ensuring that maintenance works are carried out in an efficient and cost effective manner using our contact database of approved contractors

Inspections
Our Property Manager will schedule periodic routine inspection checks of the property. A full inspection is also carried out at the end of any tenancy prior to the return of the security deposit.

To summarise, we:

• will be the first point of contact for the Tenant
• will be available to take calls from the Tenant on a 24 hours basis in case of an emergency
• will attend to any regular maintenance of the property
• will advise the Landlord of any breakdowns of white goods, cookers etc.

• will make regular inspection checks on the property to ensure that the property is being adequately maintained
• will inform the Landlord immediately of any major problems in connection with the overall condition of the property
• will at all times deal directly with the Tenant on the Landlord's behalf.

We are very aware that your house/investment is probably your biggest asset and we will take every care to ensure that your tenants treat your property with the care and attention that it deserves. We operate our management services on a 24 hour basis, so there is never an eventuality that a tenant has an unresolved problem or an anxiety that the work will not be undertaken. We pledge that we will be available if and when needed, day and night.
