A BETTER WAY TO RENT

 

There’s so much that goes into providing our high-quality, award-winning service, and it starts with our incredible team. The passion and care they put into looking after our landlords, our tenants and their homes is second-to-none.

We’ve refined our property management service over the past 15 years, automating pieces of the lettings jigsaw where appropriate, including our slick onboarding and market leading maintenance and payments systems to make our customers lives easier, guided by our superstar customer service team.

Here are some of the differences you can expect when you choose UMEGA to manage your property.

DEDICATED, QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED TEAM

We don’t take the responsibility of taking care of our landlords, our tenants and their homes lightly. Looking after our Owners, Tenants and their homes is second nature to us – it’s in our DNA and we take it personally. Our dedicated, qualified and experienced team of Relationship Managers are there for our Owners at every turn. We’re here to help them navigate the challenges of the lettings market, achieve their property goals and place the day to day management of their property in the safest of hands. We’ve also built out a Tenant Response Team who are at the heart of looking after all of our Umega tenants and their tenancies. Our team are on-hand to deal with maintenance, emergencies and enquiries quickly and efficiently.

RESPONSIVE REPAIRS

We‘re on the ball when it comes to dealing with property maintenance. Tenants can log maintenance requests 24/7 through our innovative online maintenance tracking system. Minor repairs can be self-serviced by the tenant with guidance from the Fixflo system, and those which need further attention can be resolved by our expert team of in-house maintenance technicians. Our Edinburgh property management Compliance Team will also ensure all regular safety inspections are carried out and processed swiftly.

ACCURATE, UP TO DATE FINANCES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

We’ve invested in our market-leading, innovative Payprop payment platform meaning that our landlords always have accurate, transparent and fully-reconciled financial information at their fingertips. This is one example of how we constantly improve and innovate within our Edinburgh property management service to provide our customers with the best possible service.

HIGH QUALITY MARKETING

We create exciting visuals to show off your property at its best; including professional quality photographs, 3D virtual tours and floorplans using our innovative Giraffe camera. This ensures that our properties are presented to prospective tenants at their very best when advertised on all of the main lettings portals, maximises the chances of getting the best possible applicants for your property.

TENANT MATCHING & ONLINE VIEWING BOOKING

Each newly advertised property is instantly matched against our tenant database, ensuring the most up-to-date list of active prospective tenants will hear about your property first. Any prospective tenant who receives our alert or sees your property on any marketing portal will be able to book their viewing appointment online, making this process slick and swift and ensuring no tenant is missed.

THOROUGH, STREAMLINED APPLICATION PROCESS

Our streamlined tenant journey extends to the application process which is taken care of online via our innovative application and credit check portal. All references are completed in-house giving our team an added level of control ensuring only the best quality tenants move into your property.
