Services
BeneFactors Property Management Limited offer a friendly, personal and professional approach to residential property leasing in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Full Management Service
Our full management service is 10 % + VAT of the monthly rent amount. We also offer a competitive discounted rate for landlords with multiple properties in their portfolio.
The only additional costs to our monthly full management fee is an advertising fee and an inventory charge. These fees are applicable whenever the property is vacant, either at the start of the management service, or at a tenancy changeover.
This comprehensive service covers the leasing and management of your property from start to finish, leaving you with no worries as we take care of everything.
Advertising Only Service - Standard
If you wish to manage the property yourself, but are limited with your marketing scope, we offer an Advertising Only Service which will give your property online exposure on exclusive agent websites. This includes uploads to Lettingweb, Zoopla, PrimeLocation and Citylets, as well as to our own website.
This service comprises producing a quality written description with high-resolution photographs, highlighting keywords orientated towards online property searches.
Once an enquiry is received, prospective tenants shall be provided with your contact details to arrange a suitable viewing appointment directly.
Advertising Only Service - Superior
In addition to the above, our Superior Service provides up to six accompanied viewings of your property to prospective tenants, drawing attention to its key features and its local area.
Paperwork Only Service
The most important part of any tenancy is the tenancy agreement itself.
We can prepare the Private Residential Tenancy (PRT) agreement on your behalf, in both digital and print formats, along with copies of the Statutory Terms Supporting Notes for the Private Residential Tenancy, as issued by the Scottish Government, for both you and your tenant.
Another key component of the tenancy agreement is the inventory. Details of our Inventory Service can be found by clicking here.
