Ready to Change Managing Agents?

At POD, we believe in making places exceptional, experiences unrivalled, and property management smarter. If you're considering switching to a new property management company, we're here to help you out.

Making an Effective Switch

When you decide to change your property management agent, you want to make sure it's a seamless transition. Here are our top five tips to make that happen:

  1. Give notice

    Take the first step toward a better property management experience and let your current agent know you're switching. The sooner you switch, the better.

  2. Define your requirements

    Make a list of what you need for your home. Expert staff, multiple communication channels, transparent pricing, and membership in organisations like RICS are key attributes to look for. Take advantage of the expertise offered by independent consultants to find the best property management company for your specific needs.

  3. Don’t let location put you off

    Don't make the mistake of thinking a local property manager is always the best option. The quality of the supplier they use is more important than the agent's physical location. Remote diagnosis is often the best option, and carefully selected suppliers can save you time and money.

  4. Never make your decision on price alone

    While it may be tempting to go for the lowest-priced option, be wary of agents who cut corners. They may end up costing you more money in the long run. A good agent can keep service charges reasonable by taking a proactive approach to management.

  5. Look at other costs

    The headline management fee is only part of the picture. Make sure to check what other costs are being charged, such as accounts, consents, and debt recovery.
