Who We Are
Giles and Valerie Day founded our firm in 1989 and we remain in our original offices. Previously, we enjoyed a successful professional career both in Africa and then locally in Kent.
Our office is central, but off high street, and we purposely maintain a modest media profile relying instead on word-of-mouth references from satisfied customer Landlords.
We employ experienced, dedicated staff and have achieved a remarkably low employee turnover during our time in business.
This has helped us achieve our aim of providing a truly personal service.
Our Service
We provide a TOTAL property management service wherever the Landlord is based. We realise,
however, that there are some maintenance jobs that a local Landlord may wish to carry out.
We procure tenants, on an annual basis,or as necessary. Contracts are prepared, Guarantors arranged, check-in, check-out, inventories prepared and scrutinised. We operate a maintenance service, including 24 hour call-out to cover absolute emergencies. Briefly, we provide peace of mind, for an all-inclusive percentage fee.
For prospective landlords, perhaps new to student letting, we provide an advise/property search/property prepare service tailored to
individual needs.
Why Invest?
Over the years we have ourselves become successful investors in Canterbury property. We live in precarious economic times awaiting concrete signs of an upturn, and subjected to unprecedented national belt tightening.
The local market is currently showing a 12 month recovery(BBC website- Land Registry to end September 2010) but, of course, values are still somewhat below pre-correction values (mid 2007). Where to now?
We hope and believe that Canterbury, with its economy based on acadaemia , tourism, and now enjoying faster rail links to London, provides an optimistic outlook.
