Lettings & Property Manager

Full time, Monday to Friday 8:30am - 5pm
£30,000 - £35,000
Didsbury, Manchester
Can you calm a tenant with a broken boiler, explain a service charge bill to a landlord, chase a contractor and still turn up smiling to a viewing?
If so, we would LOVE to hear from you!
We're working with a growing, independent residential property management company that's looking for a Lettings & Property Manager to join their small, close-knit team. They're a friendly bunch who work hard, support each other and have a laugh along the way… so a sense of humour isn't a nice-to-have, it's essential.
The role
This is an all-round role covering every part of lettings and negotiation, plus the full day-to-day management of a residential portfolio. The portfolio is a mix of student HMOs, flats and family homes, so variety comes as standard.
You'll be office-based, but not desk-bound. This business takes a hands-on approach to property management, and you'll be expected to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in.
What you'll be doing

• Being the go-to person for landlord and tenant queries – answered promptly, professionally before anyone has to chase
• Instructing contractors and keeping maintenance and repair jobs moving
• Preparing tenancy paperwork and legal notices
• Inspecting properties at the start and end of tenancies and producing inventories
• Creating property adverts that make people want to book a viewing straight away
• Showing prospective tenants around and managing the move-in and move-out process
• Making sure every property is compliant, certified and up to date on legislation
• Keeping on top of deposits, rent and arrears
• Building great relationships with tenants, landlords and contractors alike

What you'll need

• Demonstrable experience in lettings and property management – or a recent real estate/property management graduate with some experience under your belt
• A sense of humour. This is non-negotiable.
• Excellent communication skills, written and verbal – you keep people in the loop without being asked
• Organisation and attention to detail
• Strong IT skills – confident with Word, Excel and Outlook, and generally tech savvy
• A full, clean UK driving licence and your own car
• The ability to juggle office work with being out and about – and to enjoy both
• Confidence to work on your own, but happiest as part of a team
• A real interest in residential property – investment, lettings and development

What's in it for you

• Salary up to £35,000
• A small, close-knit team where everyone mucks in and the banter is part of the culture
• A hands-on role where no two days are the same – never a dull moment
• The chance to be involved at every level of a growing business, and grow with it
• A diverse portfolio of 90–100 properties: student HMOs, professional flats and family homes

The small print
Monday to Friday, with occasional weekend calls and some later evenings for viewings.
