Last night we took some of our core maintenance team out for a curry and a few drinks. Maintenance is a huge part of our operation at Charles David Casson for both our own landlords and our partner agencies and we wanted to thank the team for all their efforts in looking after our landlords properties and our tenants. Thanks to Katy Singleton for organising and Jasmine Pittey for coming along and hosting too.

Property Maintenance can be one of the biggest head aches for a letting agency. Constantly interrupting business generation activities, interrupting tenancy managers doing the all important legal work to protect the clients from large fines and generally causing a bad feeling in the office when irate customers call wanting a washing machine that broke down 5 minutes ago fixed yesterday!

That’s why we have a specific maintenance management team at CHARLES DAVID CASSON headed up by Kate Singleton. This allows our business generators to get on with their work selling and letting properties and gathering more clients to grow the business and it allows our Portfolio Managers and administration teams to make sure all the legal compliance work is completed and those all important landlord and tenant relationships to be continually developed.

We’re also providing this service now to a number of agents across the country as well as our own agency so whether you need full property management support for your letting agency or build to rent development or just the head ache of maintenance taking away from you we can help. Contact me, Jasmyne Devereaux MARLA , Kate Singleton or Matt Baldock for more information.
