KPA Property

KPA Property Management is a multi-award-winning letting agency based in Bristol, established to address a perceived gap in the market for high-quality property management services. The company was founded by individuals who, as property investors themselves, sought suitable management for their own Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) portfolio. Unable to find an agent that provided the desired level of service and property care, they opted to create their own firm. This origin story underpins KPA Property Management's operational philosophy, which prioritizes the needs of landlords and aims to deliver a professional service without compromise.

The firm specializes in HMO management, a sector in which it has been active since 2015. KPA Property Management recognizes that HMO management is a complex area, characterized by extensive legislation and compliance requirements. The company employs a dedicated HMO Manager within its team, acknowledging the specialized expertise needed to navigate this segment of the property market effectively. While HMOs can present significant work, the company highlights their potential as a lucrative business model for landlords, often yielding higher rental returns compared to standard family properties.

KPA Property Management's approach focuses on providing a passive management solution, advising landlords on tenant selection, maximizing rental income, and ensuring asset longevity. Beyond its core focus on HMOs, KPA Property Management offers comprehensive property management services for a diverse range of tenant types across Bristol. This includes management for family lets and single lets, in addition to its specialized student accommodation offerings. The company provides quality lettings advice and a broad spectrum of management services, drawing on its team's experience.

As landlords and investors themselves, the firm's personnel possess an understanding of the concerns and motivations that landlords typically face, allowing them to offer informed advice and support. KPA Property Management has significant experience in the student lettings sector, which it identifies as a specialized area requiring careful consideration and hands-on management. The company notes that student rentals can offer landlords consistent demand, longer rental periods, higher yields, and minimal void periods due to their cyclical nature. The firm advises landlords on specific student expectations, such as fully furnished properties with desks in each room, and the importance of locations near universities, transport, and amenities with reliable internet connectivity.

KPA Property Management emphasizes the importance of understanding the complexities of compliance in student accommodation and strategically managing timings to prevent costly void periods for landlords. KPA Property Management operates as part of The Key Group of companies, a family-run enterprise with a history dating back to 1948. This affiliation underscores a customer-centric and honesty-first approach to business, which has contributed to the development of numerous long-standing client relationships. The overarching objective of KPA Property Management is to deliver a truly passive property management experience for every landlord, ensuring the maximization of income from their assets while maintaining their safety.

Concurrently, the company is committed to providing tenants with a high standard of service, aiming to create genuine homes rather than merely houses.
