The Proper Property Group

The Proper Property Group was established by landlords for landlords, with a core mission to manage investment properties to the highest standard. The firm aims to ensure properties are continuously tenanted and well-maintained, securing limited void periods and fostering the long-term growth of assets. The company provides high-quality homes and holiday accommodation to tenants across its operational areas. The Proper Property Group primarily serves the Peak District, Derbyshire, and central Sheffield.

The company specializes in a range of property management services, including residential property management, HMO property management, holiday let and serviced accommodation management, and property investment. The Proper Property Group delivers outstanding property management services for residential lettings, Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMOs), commercial properties, and holiday homes or serviced accommodation. The firm positions itself as an accountable, professional, and effective property and letting manager for investment properties and portfolios. For landlords, The Proper Property Group offers a completely hands-off property management experience.

This comprehensive service covers all aspects of property oversight, including day-to-day running, maintenance, changeovers, advertising, letting, inventory management, deposit handling, and contract administration. The company operates with transparency, ensuring no sign-up fees or hidden administration fees are charged to landlords. The firm prioritizes the upkeep of properties, focusing on well-maintained and modern homes, and ensures that any issues are addressed quickly and efficiently. The Proper Property Group employs quality, qualified, and trusted tradespeople for all maintenance work.

The company conducts quarterly inspections and provides unlimited property visits when needed, followed by post-maintenance inspections to verify the quality of work. All properties managed by the firm are ensured to exceed government standards. The company is a family-run business that protects tenant deposits with the Deposit Protection Service. Furthermore, all managed properties are equipped with current gas safety certificates, electrical certificates, smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide alarms to ensure safety and compliance.

The firm's approach focuses on attracting quality tenants by representing quality properties. The Proper Property Group assigns a dedicated property manager to each property or portfolio, ensuring personalized and consistent oversight. The company has a track record of managing property portfolios for over 12 years, during which it has maintained properties in excellent condition. This extensive experience has resulted in optimized rent for landlords and the achievement of no void periods across managed properties.

The firm also manages renovation projects and the development of multiple properties, further demonstrating its comprehensive capabilities in property asset management. While not exclusively focused on Purpose-Built Student Accommodation (PBSA), The Proper Property Group possesses significant expertise in HMO (House of Multiple Occupancy) property management. This specialization is integral to its service offering, encompassing the full scope of managing properties designed for multiple occupants. The company's HMO management includes the day-to-day operations, maintenance, tenant changeovers, advertising, letting, inventory, deposit management, and contractual agreements.

The firm's strategy for HMOs involves presenting clean, modern, and bright homes, which helps in identifying and attracting suitable tenants, often including students, particularly in urban areas like central Sheffield.
