How Property Management Works & Why We Make It Seamless

Investing in property is one of the most rewarding financial decisions you can make — but managing it effectively is a different story. From advertising and tenant vetting to handling maintenance issues and staying compliant with ever-changing regulations, it can quickly become overwhelming.


That’s where Property by MJ comes in.


As a trusted, UK-based property management company, we take care of everything — ensuring your investment remains profitable, compliant, and stress-free.



What Does a Property Management Company Do?


At Property by MJ, we manage the day-to-day operations of your property so you don’t have to. Whether you own a single buy-to-let or a growing portfolio, our tailored service keeps your property in excellent hands.

Here’s what we take care of:

1. Tenant Sourcing & Screening

We find the right tenants — not just any tenants. Our thorough referencing includes credit checks, landlord references, and employment verification to reduce risk and protect your investment

2. Rent Collection & Arrears Management

We ensure your rent is collected on time and handle late payments efficiently, saving you from uncomfortable conversations or financial disruption.

3. Maintenance & Repairs

We manage routine and emergency repairs using trusted local contractors. From minor issues to major works, we act quickly and keep you informed.

4. Marketing & Lettings

We advertise your property across leading UK portals, manage viewings, and handle all tenancy agreements — aiming to minimise void periods.

5. Legal Compliance & Admin

We keep your property fully compliant with UK regulations, from gas safety certificates to HMO licensing, and deposit protection to fire safety laws.



What Types of Properties Do We Manage?

We provide full-service management across a variety of property types, including:

  • Buy-to-let homes
  • Flats & apartments
  • HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation)
  • Serviced accommodation
  • Commercial units

Whether you're a hands-off investor or a busy landlord, we can help streamline your portfolio.



How We Manage Different Property Types of Properties?

Every property has unique demands — and we tailor our approach accordingly.


Residential Lets:

From tenant relations to compliance, we keep your rental running smoothly and legally sound.


HMOs:

We handle licensing, inspections, and day-to-day operations while maintaining a high standard of living for tenants.


Commercial Properties:

We manage leases, maintenance, inspections and ensure commercial regulations are met, helping you maximise ROI.



Choosing the Right Property Management Company

Looking for the right management partner? Here’s how to choose:

Do your research: Check reviews, case studies, and testimonials.

Check credentials: Ensure they’re properly accredited and insured.

Ask questions: What’s their tenant vetting process? How do they handle maintenance?

Review the contract: Know exactly what’s included — and what’s not.

Compare value: Don’t just go for the cheapest option — go for the most value.

At Property by MJ, we offer expert service with a personal touch — and always put your needs first.



What to Expect Working with Property by MJ

From day one, our goal is simple: make your life easier and your property more profitable.

With us, you can expect:

  • Fast, professional communication
  • Transparent financial reporting
  • Regular property inspections
  • Happy tenants
  • Reduced void periods
  • Legal peace of mind

Whether you’re based in the UK or overseas, we treat every property like it’s our own.



How Much Do Property Management Services Cost?


We offer competitive, transparent pricing tailored to your needs.
Most UK property management companies charge 8%–14% of your monthly rent, then add extra fees for services that we believe should be standard.


At Property by MJ, we do things differently.
Our pricing is clear, all-inclusive, and competitive — no hidden charges, no surprises.


And with our Guaranteed Rent model, you can eliminate commission fees entirely and enjoy fixed, stress-free income every month.

You may also expect clearly explained costs for:

  • Maintenance and repairs
  • Advertising and photography
  • Tenant referencing and credit checks
  • Legal certificates and safety inspections

We’re upfront, always.



Is Property Management Right for You?

Hiring a property management company might be the right move if:

  1. You own multiple properties
  2. You live outside the local area or abroad
  3. You want a hands-off investment
  4. You’re tired of handling tenant issues
  5. You want your property managed professionally

If any of that sounds familiar — we’re ready to help.
