Asia UK’s Residential Letting Service consists of the following important components:

Advertising

Through effective advertising and marketing across a range of media channels, ensures prompt renting to well-matched tenants. Potential tenants are offered a wide choice of flats, apartments and houses to rent, while landlords benefit from high visibility and prompt occupation.

Screening of Tenants

Asia UK’s experienced letting agents ensure that all tenant applicants are rigorously screened through credit and reference checks prior to signing a tenancy agreement to mitigate the risk of default. Checking affordability and prior rental payment behaviour are important success factors for prompt rental payments during a new rental.

Signing a Tenancy Agreement

A legally binding Tenancy agreement is drawn up to protect the landlord and tenant by clearly defining the terms and conditions for handling rental payments and collections, rental increases, deposits, maintenance issues and damages claims as noteworthy examples. Our expert letting agents ensure that all tenancy terms and details are well understood and handle all tenancy agreement signing and administration.

Copies of the signed tenancy agreement and applicable terms & conditions are issued to tenants and landlords for ease of reference.

Deposits

Deposits are important for protecting a landlord’s investment and serve as a security to cover any damages or default during the rental term. Deposits are invested in a recognised government deposit protection scheme in line with the Rental Housing Act. No interest is payable on deposits under the scheme.

Inspections

We conduct pre- and post- occupation inspections of rented properties, itemise damages and provide quotes for the restoration of the property if necessary. A log of maintenance repairs which records photos of the important fixtures and finishes within a defined template is used by us to produce documented inspection reports as a legal record. The final account for restoring the unit to the standard defined by the pre-occupation inspection, allowing for standard wear and tear, is offset against the deposit balance before being refunded. Interim inspections can be requested by landlords if required.

Repairs and Maintenance

Our maintenance inspectors and administrators manage the maintenance needs of residential rental properties by arranging any plumbing, electrical, painting, cleaning or other related repairs within the parameters of the mandate signed with the property owner. Asia UK has a specialised maintenance information system which tracks and project manages maintenance work orders and provides automated regular feedback to all parties to achieve prompt resolution. Rental property owners are consulted throughout the maintenance process for instructions and to provide feedback.

Rent Collection, Owner Reporting and Financial Management

Rent is collected at the beginning of the month in advance, in terms of the rental agreement. Net rental income is electronically transferred to a landlord’s nominated bank account(s) as soon as practically possible following the collection of rental and payment of approved expenses. Tenant rental statements are circulated (preferably by email, otherwise delivered) a week in advance of the 1st of each month to prompt time efficient rental payments. Our dedicated debt collectors oversee all rental arrears to collect delayed rental payments as soon as possible; owners are kept informed throughout a debt collection process.
