Rental Property Management

If you need to find tenants for your property and don’t want the hassle of managing the property throughout the tenancy, take advantage of Hive Estates’ rental property management experience.

We can manage your property, fully and properly, throughout the tenancy. And we don’t just
start when the tenancy starts; we look after you from your initial valuation and we’ll continue to look after you even when the tenancy has finished, because service and standards are important to us.

We also don’t charge hidden commissions, so you’ll not be surprised or stung by any extra costs that you aren’t aware of or told about. We are transparent and open. You also can log into your online landlord account at any time to track the progress of your tenancy, download landlord statements or find out about maintenance reports.
