Arun Estates – parent company of 100 branches in south east England, including brands Cubitt & West, Douglas Allen, Pittis and Wards – has introduced a new level of property management service for clients. 

Currently, the brands offer three types of property management services; Tenant introduction, Part-managed and fully managed. Now they have what is described as a higher tier of support and protection called Fully Managed Pro.

This provides the existing services plus rent protection up to 15 months, protection from rent arrears from day one with nil excess and additional property visits. Letting Agent Today has asked Arun what the fee would be for clients: the agency group says “We have launched with an introductory rate for clients looking into our Fully Managed Pro service.”

Lettings operations director, Vicki James, says: “We understand there’s a lot to letting out a home these days. Our landlords are looking for extra security and peace of mind. We’ve got everything covered from those letting one property to those with large portfolios.”
