Property Management options
We understand that being a landlord can be a complex and time-consuming job, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of services to help you manage your property more efficiently. From tenant finding and rent collection to property inspections and maintenance, we have everything covered. We offer two main services. We offer full property management, and let only service.
full property management
The full property management is where we come out and meet the client at the property. We check the property over in terms of any legislation that’s required, any maintenance, any upgrades that’s required to let it out. We appraise the rent, explain what rent level achievable. We then take pictures of the property, we list it online. We carry out all the accompanied viewings to get the right tenant. We then do a full credit check on the tenant to make sure that they have no adverse credit history, and they’re able to pass the credit checks to move into the property, and they can also afford the property. We put the tenant in a new private residential tenancy with all the supporting documents, and then we manage the property thereafter, we collect the
rent and pass the rent onto the landlord every month.
let only service
The let only services, all of the above, as I explained for full property management, but at the end of the first month we hand over the tenant, and the first month’s rent, minus our fee, to the landlord to manage themselves

Ideas for Getting a property ready to rent out
At JPM Spectrum we provide a high quality service to both our landlords and our tenants. As such we expect the properties we let to be in a respectable condition. Below are some useful ideas about preparing your property for the rental market.
State of Repair
Ensure that your property is clean and decorated to a standard that will appeal to the potential tenants. Neutral colours are the most appealing. Paintwork should withstand between 3 – 5 years, however we would expect some touch ups if necessary between tenancies. Work surfaces that require little or no maintenance are preferred. Hard wearing flooring is also a good solution. Again, neutral colours are recommended and avoid colours that will easily stain if opting for carpets.
Utilities
Before renting out a property you must decide whether you will include utilities within the monthly rental or whether the tenant will be responsible for this. This will be clearly stated in the tenancy agreement.
Certificates
It is a legal requirement that all rental properties must comply with specific safety guidelines. A Gas Safety Test must be carried out annually A PAT (Portable Appliance Test) – performed annually.
The testing of fixed wiring should be carried out every 5 years and an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) produced. An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) must be presented with all properties let after 4th Jan 2009. The certificate is valid for a period of 10 years after which it must be renewed.
Kitchen Equipment
A large fridge freezer and a washing machine, in good working condition, are a must. Dishwashers, microwaves and tumble driers are highly favourable but not essential. We recommend that all white goods are free standing (with the exception of the oven and hob) as the cost of repair is usually much lower than that of integrated appliances.
The kitchen must be well equipped with utensils, such as; kettle, toaster, pots, pans, cutlery and crockery – all of which must be in a hygienic condition. An extractor fan above the oven is recommended and should be thoroughly cleaned before the new tenant moves in. An iron and ironing board along with a hoover are also expected by many tenants.
Furniture and Furnishings
Furnished: a prospective tenant will expect the following items when moving into a furnished property: beds and wardrobes, sofa, dining table and chairs, kitchen utensils, white goods, floor and window coverings. Furniture should be clean and matching furniture is looked upon favourably by prospective tenants.
Unfurnished: within this category the landlord is expected to provide white goods and floor and window coverings.
Part-furnished: another option that allows both landlord and tenant greater flexibility.
All furniture must comply with the Fire and Furnishings (Fire Safety) Regulations 1988, as amended 1989 & 1993. Most goods made after 1990 should comply and most will have a visible safety label attached.
