Top Marks Property

Top Marks Property operates as a letting agency dedicated to providing comprehensive property management and landlord solutions within the UK. The company positions itself on the principle of "Valuing People and Property," aiming to deliver bespoke property solutions and tenant customer care to both property owners and residents. Its mission is to offer excellent service to all parties involved in the letting process. Top Marks Property is registered with company number 13959008, with its registered address located at Ransom Wood Business Park, Mansfield, NG21 0HJ.

The firm offers a range of services designed to support property owners in managing their investments effectively. These services include complimentary property valuations for those curious about their property’s market value. Top Marks Property also provides a free 'health check' property report, which involves a short questionnaire to assess a buy-to-let property's estimated value and overall performance. This report aims to help landlords evaluate if their property is achieving its maximum possible rental income, minimizing void periods, and receiving adequate checks to prevent maintenance issues.

Top Marks Property addresses common challenges faced by landlords, such as managing extensive paperwork, including right-to-rent checks, deposit registration, renewal of mandatory certificates, and drafting Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreements. The company offers solutions to these administrative burdens, allowing property owners to manage their investments more passively. Prospective clients can also take advantage of a free 30-minute Property MOT call, during which the firm reviews a property portfolio and current strategy to identify and resolve challenges, outlining how their management services can provide peace of mind. The company provides a full management service that handles the day-to-day responsibilities of property ownership.

This includes the collection of rent, addressing repair requests, and managing deposit allocations. Top Marks Property conducts regular inspections to monitor the condition of properties, advising landlords of any issues and taking necessary action. The firm also undertakes extensive referencing for prospective tenants before issuing tenancy agreements, aiming to ensure the suitability of applicants. Tenancy agreements are typically offered for periods of six or twelve months, with options for renewal or transition to a periodic, month-to-month basis.

Top Marks Property has specific expertise in the management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), which often include student accommodation. The firm acknowledges that HMO properties require more intensive involvement than other letting types due to the increased number of sharers and the need for active tenant management. Their HMO management services extend beyond general essentials to include liaison with local authorities to ensure correct licensing, as well as providing advice on any necessary works to comply with amenity, space, and fire regulations as stipulated by the Housing Act 2004. The company's approach to HMOs focuses on ensuring tenant satisfaction and property upkeep, actively encouraging tenants to participate in viewings and contribute to maintaining the property's condition.
