MARKETING PROGRAMME

1
Making your property shine We begin the journey by getting our professional photographers to visit your property at the best time of the day, helping to dress rooms and move items of furniture if necessary. We prepare a floor plan with full room and exterior measurements (where applicable), and we will create a 360 virtual tour for buyers to walk through online if we feel it is appropriate. At this stage we will discuss any potential maintenance work that may hinder the let before launching your property to market and consult with you on any outstanding compliance matters that are required within The Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings – Minimum Standards and Prescribed Hazards) (Jersey) Order 2018.

Spreading the word We prepare an engaging write-up of your property with headline grabbing text to maximise both digital and print advertising. A detailed brochure is designed and presented to you, making sure you are 100% satisfied with how it looks and reads before we commence with any marketing. Our advertising platforms are extensive and include the Jersey Evening Post, the Homelife property supplement, radio, relevant specialist magazines, various paid platforms, such as Onthemarket.com, the Jersey Property App, Places.je and finally across all our social media channels, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and Instagram. While all this is taking place, we cross-match appropriate tenants from our extensive database, contacting them about your home via telephone, email and text.

Letting and viewing Placing a ‘To Let’ board outside your property for maximum exposure is something we highly recommend but is not essential if you would prefer not to. From receiving a viewing request, we qualify the applicant further before booking a viewing, which our rental negotiator will arrange and attend. Feedback is provided to you once the applicant sends us any comments. Having found the right tenant for your property, we go through a thorough credit check, collect references, and obtain financial information to ensure they can meet the affordability test. Only when all the above has been supplied and we are satisfied with everything, we prepare the Tenancy Agreement. We will help the tenant complete the ‘Population Form’ and make sure we receive full references from their previous landlords and employers.

The final stage Once we have found the right tenant, we appoint a professional inventory company, to complete a ‘check in’ condition report. We also ensure the tenant notifies the appropriate utility services of their start date at the property. Please note that we only lodge the deposit with ‘MyDeposits’ if we manage the property, otherwise this responsibility falls to the you, the Landlord to register.

And there is more... Managing your property can come with its own problems and we can take care of these for you by providing you with an agreed management fee of the annual rental which will be deducted monthly for the duration of the tenancy. This will cover every aspect of the property management process including… - Collection of rent - Maintenance of the property - Inspections & check out reports - Preparations of annual rates schedules and preparation of monthly statements with attached invoices for you and/or your accountant. - Compliance matters relating The Public Health and Safety (Rented Dwellings – Minimum Standards and Prescribed Hazards) (Jersey) Order 2018 - Compliance matters relating to the Health and Safety at Work (Jersey) Law, 1989 - Project management of any refurbishments required (additional costs apply) Also, in accordance with the Bank’s Compliance Regulations, we will always obtain “Due Diligence” for all our clients, therefore we always request proof of the following. - A copy of your Passport (certified by either your own bank, your accountant, financial advisor or Notary Public). - A certified original of an up-to-date utility account which is no more than three months old. - And if the property is co-owned, then we require the above for each beneficiary.
