WE ARE DIFFERENT

At Portico we do things differently. We understand that in many cases, your rental investment may once have been your home. That means it is even more important for us to find a tenant who will look after the property just as well as you did.

It’s the job of our team of dedicated paralegals to do the detective work on every tenant that we place. They will check references, bank statements, passports and carry out a credit check to make sure they check out.

Once we’ve found you a tenant that you are happy with, our local Property Concierges and team of in-house tradesmen are on-hand to make sure your property receives the highest standard of maintenance throughout the life of each tenancy.

Our branch network extends across London, and you might be interested to browse through some of the flats and houses we have recently let.

RENTAL GUARANTEE AS STANDARD

We collect the rent for nearly all of the properties we let out, so if a tenant is late paying, our team of accountants will chase them straight away and can even take payment by credit card over the phone.

But even better than this is our rent guarantee. We offer a rent guarantee as standard on our concierge package, so even if your tenant falls on hard times, there is no need for you to lose out in terms of rental income.

Because we guarantee rental income, as you might expect, we take tenant referencing very seriously.

We have an in-house team of paralegals, many of whom have a law degree or legal qualifications, whose job it is to conduct due diligence on prospective tenants. They check references, payslips, bank statements and run credit checks to make sure our tenants are exactly who they say they are, and that they can comfortably afford to pay the level of rent required.

HELP WITH TAX RETURNS AND COMPLIMENTARY MAINTENANCE BETWEEN TENANCIES

Our Concierge package is the most popular option for landlords with one or two properties because it provides an unrivalled level of convenience (at a price that won’t break the bank).

As part of this package, we cover the cost of having an external accountant review your rental income (and income from one other source), to ensure you don’t pay more tax than you should and to make sure you get your HMRC self assessment tax returns submitted on time.

As part of the Concierge package, we also provide a complimentary maintenance service between tenancies (provided by one of our in-house handymen), to make sure that your property is kept in permanently good condition. Find out more about our Concierge package here.
