Do you want to change your property management company for your rental houses in Hartlepool, but worried about the hassle and cost?
In this blog, we will explain how to change your property management company with minimal stress and expense so you can start to maximise your rental income and enjoy the benefits of being a landlord or property investor.
Why Change Your Property Management Company?
We regular speak to landlords and property investor who want to change property management company, and the common reasons are:
-
Poor Value For Money
A major reason to switch property management company is the cost, and more importantly the lack of value for money.
We often speak to landlord and property investors who are paying 15% or more, and getting barely anything in return – maybe a coordinated repair every now and again, and half-hearted customer service with the tenants.
-
Terrible Service
This can range from a lack of knowledge and expertise, to slow responses to queries (from you and your tenants), to a bad attitude.
-
Failing To Minimise Void Periods
Tenants will leave your rental properties, and this isn’t always the fault of your property management company, however, a replacement needs to ready to go ASAP to minimise void periods and ensure you aren’t losing too much money.
How To Change Your Property Management Company
If you have dediced to switch property management company, then there are a number of options that you can consider.
Check out the video below where Stacey, one of our property experts explains how to change your property management company.
-
Check Your Contract
First of all, you will want to check your contract/s to see whether where you are in relation to your initial fixed term period (this will usually last 6-12 months). Generally speaking, unless there is a break clause, or a mutual surrender of the agreement, then you won’t be able to switch.
However, even if you are still under contract for several months with your current property management company, you can start to get everything in place with someone better for when the time comes!
-
Find A Replacement
Once you understand when you can move your rental houses to another property management company, you need to find a suitable replacement.
It can be a great idea to discuss your current agreement with prospective property management companies, as they should be able to get things in place for when you do switch to them.

Change Your Property Management Company
