Gone are the days when tenants would just rent any old thing! These days a tenant wants modern décor, modern furnishings, a good-sized bedroom and a place to sit down and eat and talk with their friends.

If you want a high-quality tenant then you, the landlord, need to provide a high-quality environment, even in a modest flat or house.
A relatively small investment in the beginning will be repaid many times over in terms of the type of tenant, the length of stay, and the rental you can demand. Next Move Properties Ltd can help you get the best from your investment.

Our goal is to offer the very best service – and because we are a company that specialises in rental properties only, (you won’t catch us trying to sell houses as well), we are able to devote all our time to your interests. We are looking to expand (gradually) so we have the capacity for further management contracts. But we are only looking to take on a limited number of high quality properties with landlords that are willing to work with us.

So, if you own property and are looking for an efficient and cost-effective management service, contact us!

If you instruct us to act as your agent we will deal with the everyday running of your property and help you to fulfill your obligations as a landlord. Let our experienced Property Manager spot maintenance issues before they become a problem and help maintain a high-quality environment for your tenants.

All you have to do is receive the rent! Owning a property and letting it out should be an investment, not a burden.

We are members of Client Money Protect (CMP), Property Regress Scheme (PRS), Deposit Protection Service (DPS).
