PPS Property Management

18/06/2026

Busy week at PPS

Just finished another Property Health Check for a Blackpool landlord who hadn't reviewed their rent in three years. The gap between what they were charging and what the market supports? Enough to cover their annual maintenance budget.

This is why we do these checks. Not to push landlords around, but to show them what's actually possible.

If you own a rental in Blackpool or the Fylde Coast and you haven't had a proper review in the last 12–24 months, you might be in the same boat.

Our Property Health Check is free, takes 30 minutes, and could save you thousands.

✅ Rental yield vs. market

✅ Compliance audit

✅ Maintenance priorities

✅ Clear action plan

Buying A Property Is Easy. Recovering One Isn't.

Recently, a landlord approached PPS after purchasing an HMO at auction.

The property had been bought without viewing it in person and the new owner had no previous HMO experience.

The challenge wasn't buying the property.

The challenge was understanding exactly what had been purchased.

Our first steps were simple.

✓ Collect the keys

✓ Meet the existing tenants

✓ Confirm which rooms were occupied

✓ Establish who was actually paying rent

✓ Speak with Blackpool Council's Housing Enforcement Team

✓ Identify immediate compliance concerns

What followed was a recovery plan.

The EPC rating required improvement.

The layout and room usage needed reviewing.

Waste had accumulated externally.

Drainage issues needed addressing.

Tenancy information had to be organised.

Rent collection systems needed implementing.

Working alongside the landlord, tenants and local authority, we created a clear action plan and prioritised the issues that needed immediate attention.

Today, tenants are paying.

Improvement works are underway.

Compliance issues are being addressed.

The landlord has a clear roadmap moving forward.

Property management isn't always about collecting rent.

Sometimes it's about bringing order to a situation that has become complicated.

And when that happens, having the right team around you can make all the difference.

Sometimes The Problem Isn't The Tenant

One of the most common calls we receive from landlords is:

"My tenant isn't paying."

Recently, a landlord brought a property to PPS after experiencing ongoing rent arrears for more than two years.

The property had previously been managed elsewhere and the relationship between landlord and tenant had broken down completely.

Communication was poor.

Repairs had been left unresolved.

The tenant felt ignored.

The landlord felt frustrated.

Nobody was winning.

When PPS took over, we started with something simple.

We listened.

We spoke with the tenant.

We spoke with the landlord.

We reviewed the issues that had been outstanding for some time.

Simple things that should have been dealt with long ago.

Lighting that wasn't working upstairs.

A second toilet that wasn't flushing correctly.

Communication that had stopped altogether.

Once trust started to rebuild, something interesting happened.

The tenant started communicating.

Payments started being made.

Repairs were completed.

The landlord began receiving rent again.

The property became easier to manage.

Not every arrears situation can be solved this way.

Sometimes legal action is unavoidable.

But this case was a reminder that rent arrears are often a symptom of a wider problem, not always the problem itself.

Good property management isn't about taking sides.

It's about finding solutions that work for everyone involved.

A room full of great energy, plenty of conversation, and, of course, enough morning coffee to get everyone started! ☕

This is what BNI does best - building relationships, creating opportunities and showing the power of networking!💪🏽

Who’s ready to do it all again tomorrow?🤔

If you have existing written tenancies from before 1 May 2026, GOV.UK says you must give all named tenants the official Renters’ Rights Act Information Sheet by 31 May 2026.

Failure to do this could lead to a fine of up to £7,000.

PPS Property Management is helping small landlords get this admin sorted properly.

£49 per tenancy.

We’ll prepare the covering message, organise the official PDF, help you issue it to all named tenants, and create a simple proof-of-service record for your file.

This is charged per tenancy, not per building.

For HMOs, each separate room tenancy counts as its own tenancy. One joint tenancy counts as one tenancy.

No legal advice. Just practical admin support to help you get the document issued and recorded before the deadline.

Message us “PACK” if you want it sorted.
