From Introduction Only to Fully Managed When ‘Saving Fees’ Costs More Than You Think

From Introduction Only to Fully Managed When ‘Saving Fees’ Costs More Than You Think

Lower fees, more control, fewer commitments. But what many landlords don’t realise is how much responsibility still sits with them. Over time, small gaps in management quietly turn into stress, cost and risk — usually when it’s least convenient.

Many landlords start on an introduction-only service.
It feels sensible with:🤔
💷 Lower fees
🙋 Less involvement from the agent

But over time, cracks appear.
We often meet landlords who say
“I didn’t realise how much I was still responsible for.”
“I didn’t know that was my problem.”
“I thought the agent handled that.”

Common issues include
💰 Late rent chasing
📜 Compliance gaps
🔍 Missed inspections
🛠️ Delayed repairs
📞 Tenant communication problems

These lead to
😰 Stress
⏱️ Time loss
💸 Unexpected costs
⚠️ Risk
