Who handles repairs and maintenance?
For managed properties, Oakley coordinates all routine and emergency maintenance through trusted, insured contractors. We keep you informed of any major works and always seek approval where required. Our proactive approach prevents disruption and preserves the long-term value of your investment.
Can I change letting agents if I’m unhappy with my current one?
Yes. Most landlords can switch letting agents by giving notice as stated in their agreement. Oakley handles the full transition, from collecting keys and documents to updating tenancy records, so there’s no disruption for your tenants.
How does Oakley vet tenants?
All applicants undergo a comprehensive referencing process, including employment verification, affordability checks, credit history, and previous landlord references. We also conduct right-to-rent checks in line with the Immigration Act 2014.
What safety certificates do I need before letting my property?
Landlords must provide a valid EICR, Gas Safety Certificate, and EPC. Smoke and carbon monoxide alarms must also be installed and tested. Oakley coordinates these checks to keep your property fully compliant with current legislation.
