Quick answer

Property management is the service of running a rental property on the landlord's behalf — finding tenants, collecting rent, keeping the property legally compliant, arranging repairs, and handling inspections and end-of-tenancy. In the UK it usually costs 10–15% of monthly rent or a fixed fee. Smart Sleep Property does all of this on one modern platform, with transparent fixed pricing and vetted contractors.

What's included in full property management

Every landlord package covers the six pillars below — the difference between packages is how much of it we run for you.

Tenancy set-up

Right-to-Rent, referencing, compliant Assured Periodic Tenancy, prescribed information, and deposit protection — done properly, first time.

Rent collection

Payments monitored daily, arrears chased on your behalf, and clear monthly landlord statements — never chase a tenant again.

Compliance

Gas Safety, EPC, EICR, Legionella, smoke and CO alarms, HMO licensing — tracked, renewed and evidenced automatically.

Inspections

Move-in, mid-tenancy and move-out inspections with photographic evidence and written reports you can rely on in a dispute.

Repairs & maintenance

Vetted local contractors, capped spend limits, and an out-of-hours line so emergencies never land in your inbox at 2am.

End-of-tenancy

Check-out inventory reconciliation, deposit deductions and DPS-ready evidence — plus renewals or re-marketing without a gap.

Property management FAQs

What does a property management company do?

A property management company runs a rental property on the landlord's behalf. That typically covers finding and referencing tenants, drawing up the tenancy, collecting rent, arranging inspections and maintenance, keeping the property compliant with gas, electrical and EPC rules, and handling deposits, renewals and end-of-tenancy.

How much does property management cost in the UK?

Full property management usually costs 10–15% of the monthly rent for a fully managed service, or a fixed monthly fee. Tenant-find only is typically 50–100% of one month's rent as a one-off. Smart Sleep Property publishes transparent fixed fees — see our pricing page.

Is a letting agent the same as a property manager?

They overlap. A letting agent focuses on finding a tenant and setting up the tenancy. A property manager (or a fully-managed letting agent service) also runs the property day-to-day — rent collection, repairs, inspections and compliance. Smart Sleep Property offers both under one roof.

Do I still have to be involved if I hire a property manager?

Only for major decisions — approving works over your agreed spend limit, signing off rent reviews, and end-of-tenancy decisions. Everything else, including out-of-hours tenant contact, is handled for you.

Can I switch to Smart Sleep Property from another agent?

Yes. We handle the changeover — writing to the tenant, transferring the deposit protection, collecting keys and certificates, and taking over compliance. Most switches complete within 14 days.

Do you manage properties outside Norwich?

Our full letting-agent service is Norwich-focused. Nationwide landlords use our platform membership plus our nationwide services (referencing, inventories, EPC/Gas/EICR, rent guarantee) to self-manage with the same tooling and support.
