Property Management – Your Options When Letting with Parklane Properties

Letting a property should be straightforward, transparent, and quick to deliver results. At Parklane Properties, we make that happen with two clear landlord services; Full Management and Let Only. You you can choose the level of involvement that suits you. Below, we explain each option in plain English, outline what’s included, and share why so many Leeds landlords list with Parklane Properties when they want a reliable tenant and minimum downtime between lets.

The two service options at a glance

Full Management
A hands-off service where we handle marketing, viewings, referencing, compliance, tenancy paperwork, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, tenant liaison, and end-of-tenancy tasks. 

It’s designed for landlords who want professional oversight from day one to move-out, with a single point of contact and proactive management throughout the tenancy

Let Only (Tenant-Find)
We market your property, conduct viewings, thoroughly reference applicants, and prepare the tenancy so you can start with confidence.

After move-in, day-to-day management, rent collection, and maintenance revert to you. This suits experienced landlords who prefer to manage the ongoing relationship directly once good tenants are in place. 

What’s included: side-by-side detail

Marketing & tenant sourcing

  • Both services: High-visibility advertising across our own platform and major portals, targeted to Leeds’ professional and student audiences. We coordinate viewings and provide real-time feedback so pricing and presentation decisions are clear.

  • Why it matters: The right launch generates competition and reduces void periods. Our local footprint across Leeds city centre and North Leeds consistently draws qualified enquiries.

Referencing & right-to-rent checks

  • Both services: Comprehensive referencing (credit checks, income/employment, previous landlord references) and legal paperwork for a compliant start.

  • Why it matters: Rigorous checks reduce arrears risk and protect your asset from the outset.

Tenancy set-up & deposit

  • Both services: Tenancy documentation and deposit registration with an approved scheme, so you begin on solid legal ground. (Where applicable to the chosen service.

  • Why it matters: Accurate paperwork prevents disputes and keeps you aligned with current legislation.

Inventory, move-in photography & condition reporting

  • Full Management: We arrange or verify the inventory, produce a condition report, and photograph the property before keys are released.

  • Let Only: Available at set-up; ongoing oversight post-move-in remains with you.

  • Why it matters: Good evidence protects deposits and speeds up fair resolutions at check-out.

Rent collection, statements & arrears management

  • Full Management: We collect rent, provide monthly statements, and manage arrears proactively so cash flow stays predictable.

  • Let Only: You collect and manage rent yourself.

Maintenance coordination & contractor management

  • Full Management: Tenants report issues to us; we triage, instruct trusted contractors, and keep you informed with quotes and approvals.

  • Let Only: You handle maintenance requests directly after move-in.

Compliance & mid-tenancy inspections

  • Full Management: Periodic property visits to ensure the home is being looked after, with follow-up actions if needed.

  • Let Only: You oversee inspections and compliance checks during the tenancy.

End-of-tenancy, renewals & re-letting

  • Full Management: We manage notice periods, check-out, deposit negotiations, and rapid re-marketing to limit vacancy.

  • Let Only: End-of-tenancy tasks and any re-let strategy are your responsibility
