Poole rental agent specialists Tailor Made lettings maintain office dedicated to rental & management

Dedicated only to the rental market Our Poole Town centre office has been a dedicated rental agency from the day it opened in 1992.

Only once did I attempt to bring in a sales department. It was when my wife decided she would like to return to work. The truth was that adding several selling staff into the mix proved counter productive to my Letting business.

My rentals team are proficient and trained to be accurate administrators. Duties include important logging diarising all manner of events,regulations,important anniversaries,rent due,renewals,gas safetychecks,electricity inspections,new tenancies,expiring tenancies, maintenance,rent increases,inspections,checkouts,checkins,inventories and so much more.

Sales staff I soon found had an aversion to admin and seemed to chat most of the day. They discuss their sales,their strategies and bounce ideas around all day long about getting an instruction or promoting a property or controlling a client, they were mainly working loudly together as a team.The sales people jotted the odd notes down and had very good memory for pursuing finite issues that may or maynot caused sales to falter every aspect shouted across the office for all to hear.

All very well but having two teams in one office was causing my lettings team problems.The answer was tricky as after 12 months I had to tell my wife she had to find alternative premises to work from.

Fortunately for Tailor Made we discovered the Sandbanks Peninsula office and opened up a dedicated sales office in 2001 from where staff referred rental inquiries back to Poole Town centre branch.

Since then our interest in sales at Sandbanks has been sold, yet remains in my wifes family.

With new regulations governing every aspect of renting a property, operating a proper management system is key to dealing with larger volume. Lets face it you would not want your property to be the one that slipped through the net for something important such as building insurance,gas safety,electrical testing or tenancy renewal or notice to quit.

For the last 15 years we have used Gemini (started out as protrack) a property management package that covers every aspect of looking after property.The system is wonderful and speeds up all our processes freeing our time to promote and market empty property.

However we have grown with the system and staff are trained to use it. For instance a new member of accounts it takes approximately 6 months of working supervised to become proficient. The entire team pump in their info and record data on a daily basis. The entire history of your property under management is recorded and important events pop up out of the system at the right time and dates.

Property Management has become more complex and the need now is for specialised staff to perform specific jobs. I have been in the business since 1979 and know that to simply wake up one morning and decide to switch from Estate agency sales to rentals or do both is not conducive to good practice.

When faced with dropping everything and doing a viewing your Estate Agent sales negotiator will be up and gone as this is the reason he took the job to sell and earn large commissions, the fact that he has taken 10 repair calls,a checkout has been delayed, a tenant is locked out of the house and there are nine renewals to be done that afternoon may see the negotiator fade out of sight.

My trained staff attend regular training days and our own in-house training stems from adopted practices and techniques learned from an office with 20 years history as a dedicated rental agency using an expensive software system to make sure things are not missed and all reports are logged. Even for a dripping tap we now click on "choose the property", click choose the contractor, enter an instruction and click to send it to contractor and owner by email.

The job will be shown outstanding until a bill has been received and will disappear off the to-do screen once the bill has been paid. The Tailor Made office in Spain provides Estate Agency sales and although we offer rentals we do so on a Tenant finding service only . No management so essentially Spain is a sales office for the reasons contained above.

Does your property fall within our expertise ? location location location

Did you know Tailor Made Lettings are renting managing property right across Poole Once upon a time we looked to cover a radius of 15 miles from our offices in Poole town centre.In recent years to enable efficient management of property it has proved a sensible strategy to reduce the working radius to within 10 miles.

So if you are a Landlord interested in our services we confirm that we cover property from Lytchett Mattravers west of Poole across as far as Westbourne & the westcliff (Bournemouth)on Poole´s eastern boundary´

Whilst the name Tailor Made maybe connected to fabulous upmarket property in areas such as Sandbanks and Canford cliffs the reality is that with 20 years trading from Poole Town centre our bread & butter property tends to be in Poole town, Oakdale, Parkstone, Lower Parkstone,Branksome, Pennhill,Fleetsbridge,Broadstone,Hamworthy,Upton,Creekmoor,whitecliff and Lilliput. These are locations where we regularly rent out 1 & 2 bedroom apartments and 3 or 4 bedroom houses.

Our presence for rentals in the Sandbanks sales office continues, courtesy of Adrian Dunford & his sales team ensuring a continuous stream of high value rental inquiries

Want to know more about renting through Tailor Made Lettings then visit our office in the shadow of the Barclays international building opposite the Dolphin shopping centre. We are at the Poole end of Longfleet Rd

Landlords on your toes & get it right

Minimize Risk The great thing about the UK is the capability of checking out someone we want to do business with before committing.

Landlords its time to get on the ball and ensure your rental agent is working for you. After all its you who pays the fee not the incoming tenant

I know that you maybe excited that your agent has found you a tenant and was quick in doing so. Be aware that in this market its far easier to find a tenant the key is finding the right tenant.

However Agents do not always provide you with the perfect tenant. So my tip for today is insist that the agent provides you with all references. Do not be fobbed off with excuses for not getting the references you expect.

Checks for a tenant should include bank reference, credit check, previous Landlord, job reference or for self employed an accountants reference. An agent can apply for these manually or use a vetting agency to obtain the checks. We tend to use the latter as they are proficient in obtaining all information and often do so within 24 to 48 hours a plus in getting a deal in the bag before your prospective tenant is lured away by other agencies.

Recently our Poole lettings office has been quite frustrated at a spate of applicants who we have turned away due to negative checks and who simply go to another agency and are granted a tenancy. Interestingly most of these tenants were intro only arrangements where the agent was paid on completion and walked away

Often Tailor Made find out about the rogue tenant that we turned away a few months later when a Landlord comes to us for advice to resolve the problems

Many agencies have commission staff who are finding it tough in the current crisis and push through applicants who may not stack up. The most recent case I am aware of the previous Landlord had informed us that Mr H had trashed the house and left without paying the last 2 months. Yet the other agents Landlord who accepted them had not been provided with a previous Landlord reference. Agents may tell you that previous Landlords reference isnt worth having as they may be keen to get rid of a horror Tenant and so provide a positive reference. My experience shows very few owners will do this so its worth having a Landlord reference.

So there you have it the way forward is to ask your agent to show you copies of the checks that have been made and then insist on obtaining any that you feel should be provided make sure you get the complete picture.

Be nosey be safe

Tailor Made Lettings Marketing Campaign

A big push so

what worked best

Targetting Landlords we have just completed a big push to increase our property portfolio as demand has been outstripping supply. Part of our recent push included targetted distribution of 5000 flyers in the local area an increase in newspaper and glossy magazine advertising, lots of tweets and plenty of facebook promotion and an appeal to our existing friends customers and tenants to refer Landlords to Tailor Made.

So what worked best and where did the new leads appear from well it seems that an appeal to existing friends and customers showed instant results and it was surprising that when you actually asked someone if they knew of someone who had a property to rent the answer was yes.

Not too much response to media adverts. The flyers are drip feeding owners our way and will hopefully continue to do so. In all a successful campaign but we still need more property. So if you know a friend or colleague who is a landlord Tailor Made Lettings would love to hear from them even if at this stage it is only to check they are getting the right rent. We can provide comparable rental evidence in most areas of Poole & the Western side of Bournemouth.

want to live by the sea choose Poole or Bournemouth

Poole or Bournemouth Whilst Bournemouth has the nightlife & according to most teenagers better entertainment what does it offer those who are moving there who love to be near the sea. Lets face it if you are moving to a sea side town then if you had the choice the closer the better Southbourne, Boscombe seafront, the Eastcliff and Westcliff and Alum Chine all have good affordable property in heavily populated locations yet in close range of the miles of gold sandy beach’s but for Bournemouth the upmarket prime area for property is a little inland known as Talbot Woods once the favoured domain of every established lawyer accountant and doctor in the area. It’s a lovely residential area with many fine houses set in mature gardens in leafy Roads but a trip to the beach means go by car or cycle. Alternatively still in Bournemouth the Westcliff is a good location near the Sea with a lovely cliff top walk. Regrettably due to planning policy by Bournemouth local authorities over many years there are very few houses available in the Westcliff as on many large plots they have built apartment blocks. The same can be said of the majority of the Bournemouth coastline areas. Poole with its much stricter planning controls has maintained a large percentage of its houses around seaside locations. Branksome Park & Canford Cliffs are prime examples beautiful homes set in landscaped grounds with wooded walks a prime feature of these areas. The area has a blanket tree preservation order and tight control on building anything over 3 levels. Both Canford Cliffs and Branksome Park have beachfronts similar to Bournemouth but with a much better preserved cliff top pathways. Poole also has the famous Sandbanks peninsula. At Sandbanks the beach is large and there is miles of it. If you get bored with Sandbanks beach cross the chain ferry by car bike or foot to the stunning Purbecks and the beach’s of shell bay, Studland. Alternatively come off the beach and switch to Poole’s stunning harbour walks and views. Areas along the Harbour include Lilliput and Whitecliff as you get further away from Sandbanks towards Poole generally speaking the price of property lowers. For me if I were to live in a seaside town on the South Coast then Poole is hard to beat. Tailor Made specialise in waterside property both rentals and sales.
