Property management department under pressure

We hate to mention the C word but Christmas is a matter of weeks away. As an agent, November and December can be the most difficult months to juggle.

Arctic temperatures and winter storms can wreak havoc and lead to a spike in emergency maintenance, plus staff will be requesting time off to do their Christmas shopping, cover school holidays or even jet away to sunnier climes. And all this comes at a time when you're meant to be relaxing and enjoying some festive cheer.

There is an instant way to ease the Christmas pressure - and that's outsourcing. ARPM Outsourced Lettings Support already partners with 100s of agents who want to delegate some, or all, of their tenancy administration, property management and/or rent collection. It's an incredible useful arrangement to start before Christmas, as ARPM can take over the booking of planned maintenance, such as boiler servicing and gas safety checks, as well as run an out-of-hours emergency helpline on behalf of companies. We have a panel of qualified and trusted tradespeople who provide nationwide coverage - and we ensure there's enough people to cover evenings, weekends and public holidays. Outsourcing ensures you're not desperately ringing round plumbers at 9pm on Christmas Eve or disturbed by a panicked tenant while tucking into your turkey.

Dave Hunt, the Business Development Director at ARPM Outsourced Lettings Support, says that outsourcing property management now is a great way to ease the all year round pressures: "Working in tandem with ARPM is ideal for any agent who may struggle with staff numbers and the seasonality issues which lettings brings. We're almost at the cut-off point for agents to set-up an outsourcing agreement with ARPM in time for Christmas, so I would urge anyone considering this to contact us as soon as possible"
