Urban Activation recognises the importance of managing your property efficiently to achieve a balance between maximum return and minimal vacancy.
A rental property is viewed by our company as a valuable asset which needs to realise a fair return and the greatest care is taken at all stages to ensure this is achieved. The Property Manager will get to know your property as well as you do, sometimes more, thus ensuring that your investment receives the special attention required to maximise its return.
Our property management team meet weekly to discuss marketing strategies, new legislation, landlord and tenant concerns, vacancies and market trends. Regular inspections and thorough market awareness means that your investment could not be in more capable hands.
Urban Activation performs detailed inspections of your property and provides a written rental market appraisal.

The importance of tenancy selection is imperative. At Urban Activation our job is to ensure that we choose the right tenant so your property is protected. Our policy of stringent criteria for our tenant applications, results in a positive experience for both the landlord and tenant.
All applicants are required to complete a tenancy application form allowing us to thoroughly check current and previous landlords/agents references, current and previous employer references.
