Property Manager

Description

Property Manager

* £34,000 salary once probation has been passed after 4 months. Starting salary £31,500.

* 32 days annual leave including Bank Holidays and a paid day off for your birthday.

* Working hours Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.30pm.

* 4% employer pension contribution.

* We are looking for a Property Manager for a property and housing group.

* The role requires someone with solid experience in Property Management.

Property Manager

* They lease residential properties from private landlords on guaranteed rent / private sector leasing (PSL) arrangements, managing them on a long-term basis and provide temporary accommodation to London local authorities for households they owe a housing duty to.

* They provide supported accommodation for young people leaving care, working with placing local authorities across London.

* We are looking for candidates with relevant experience in private sector leasing, temporary accommodation, supported accommodation, housing associations or local authority housing teams and Property Managers from an Estate Agency background, particularly those running a management portfolio as there are transferable skills managing a caseload of properties, arranging repairs and contractors, handling inspections, check-ins and check-outs, and dealing with landlords day to day.

Property Manager

* The key difference is their Property Managers aren't managing ASTs.

* Most of their properties are let to local authorities as temporary accommodation, where the occupier holds a licence from the council rather than a tenancy, or are leased on a guaranteed rent / PSL basis.

In practice that means:

* The council is the client, not the tenant - the role involves regular liaison with local authority teams, inspections and placement turnarounds.

* No rent collection, arrears chasing, deposits or Section 21/8 work - the focus is on property condition, compliance, repairs and void turnaround.

* Occupiers are often vulnerable households, so the role needs a calm, practical approach and a good understanding of safeguarding.

* They manage their obligations to landlords under the lease, including renewals and hand backs, rather than acting as their agent.

Property Manager

* Volumes are also different. An Estate Agency Property Manager typically looks after 150 to 200 properties, whereas each of their property groups covers 400 to 450. That's manageable because the role doesn't carry the more time-consuming AST duties, but candidates need to be comfortable working at pace across a much larger portfolio.

* It’s important that you understand these differences and can adapt to a higher-volume, compliance-led, local authority-facing role. Anyone with some exposure to TA, PSL, HMOs or social housing alongside their agency experience would be ideal.

Property Manager

* £31,500 salary during your first 4-months probation then rising to £34,000 once probation has been passed. 32 days annual leave including Bank Holidays and a paid day off for your birthday. Working hours Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.30pm.
