The company with deep rooted local connections
Oakland Estates is proud to be one of the significant family-owned agents in London and Essex. Since the business began back in 1989, we have grown organically, establishing a management portfolio of more than 400 rental properties. We’ve done that without losing the individual touch that sets us aside from our competition. Having worked in this part of the world for over 30 years, we have developed a real understanding of the local community. That means we can deliver the kind of ‘personal experience’ that landlords and tenants really value.
Our property management department covers rentals in Ilford, Barkingside, Wanstead, Newbury Park and surrounding areas.
A friendly, dedicated property manager
When you ask Oakland Estates to manage your rental property, you’ll be allocated a dedicated personal property manager. The manager will become your main point of contact, responsible for dealing with every aspect of the tenancy. During that time, they will get to know the property, inside and out. Our property managers carry out inspections every six months and following their visit, you will receive a detailed report informing you of any issues.
In the event that maintenance or repairs are needed, we can arrange for the work to be done by our reliable, in-house team of maintenance tradespeople. These are skilled, competitively priced workers who help to keep costs down while keeping the quality of delivery high. That’s in addition to our panel of approved third party contractors, who are available for larger projects.
Secure your income with our rent guarantee policy
At a time when employment is becoming less secure and the cost of living is rising, it’s important for landlords to protect themselves against rent arrears. You should expect years of steady income from a well-managed property, but circumstances can change. That’s why it is advisable to protect yourself from the start.
We are delighted to offer Inspire Pro, a rent insurance policy backed by HomeLet, the UK’s leading referencing portal. The policy covers landlords against rent arrears, paying 100 per cent of the rent due (it will keep paying for 15 months or until you’ve gained vacant possession, whichever comes first). The policy also provides £100,000 worth of legal expenses for evictions where the tenants have breached their tenancy agreement.
Other benefits include:
- Direct checks with the National Fraud Database and HomeLet’s own database to discover whether applicants have defaulted on rent payments or committed fraud.
- Cover for the total monthly rent, no matter how many tenants are listed on the tenancy agreement
- If a tenant defends themselves against an action taken, you’ll receive payments until the challenge has been resolved
- 12 months cover with no excess to pay
At Oakland Estates, we specialise in property management for landlords, so you can rest assured that your rental property is in the best of hands. With flawless service and a flexible, can-do approach, we’ll support you and your tenants every step of the way.
