When you’ve got a large portfolio, moving property management can feel like a mammoth task! But what if you’ve been self-managing for years, and it’s time to get out? How do you tackle the transfer, keep your tenants happy, preserve your returns, and ensure your legacy (not to mention your ongoing compliance)?

At Homesure Property, we’ve successfully supported more than a few landlords through this process. Here’s how we approach it.

Moving property management of a large portfolio – stage by stage

After years of building and managing their property portfolio, very few landlords want to transfer the whole thing over to one letting agent. But the changes to the law are making self-managing less and less viable, plus, nobody lives forever, and nobody wants to inherit an admin nightmare! So what’s the solution? How do you prepare to bow out, enjoy the spoils, and leave a portfolio your family will thank you for?

Here at Homesure, we work with landlords to plan a staged management transfer.

There’s no need to put all your eggs in one basket. We can take one chunk of properties – perhaps the vacant ones, or a block at a time – and start by moving them across onto our fully managed service. You maintain control of your assets. We take on the workload, little by little, at a rate your comfortable with.

At the end of the process, you sail off into the sunset safe in the knowledge that the rents are still coming in, and the tenants are happy, without you having to lift a finger!

The stages of moving a large portfolio

In this video, our CEO Nick explains how we break down a large portfolio into blocks, to transfer ‘pieces of portfolio’, stage-by-stage. That could be block by block, if you own apartments, or we could wait until tenants move out and take properties off your hands at that point. Or it might be that we find another way that make sense to both of us.

The more important things are that you feel in control at all times, and your tenants experience a smooth transition.

Case study

We’ve done this before, many times. We’ve also acquired six other letting agencies in the last nine years, and established bullet-proof processes. We’re Renters’ Rights ready, and able to continue our growth trajectory without compromising our five-star service.

Here’s how we’re supporting a landlord with 300+ properties to prepare his legacy.

There’s no obligation or pressure to do anything beyond an initial call.
