**By Adrian Read, Senior Portfolio Manager** At Swindon, we believe in a proactive approach to property management that goes beyond simply collecting rent. Here are some key strategies we suggest to optimize your property's performance: **Optimize Rental Income** * **Market-Related Rentals:** Regularly reviewing your rental rates against current market trends is crucial. Our team of brokers and professional valuers provide in-depth market analysis to ascertain if your property is yielding optimal returns. * **Lease Structure:** Balancing longer lease terms with competitive rental rates requires careful consideration. We can assist in structuring leases that protect your investment while attracting quality tenants. * **Income Maximization:** Identifying and capturing all recoverable costs is essential. From common area charges to tenant obligations, our team ensures accurate billing and recovery. **Property Valuation and Optimization** * **Accurate Measurements:** Precise measurement of your property, including often overlooked areas like risers and fire escapes, can significantly impact its lettable area. This translates to increased rental income and property value. * **Strategic Repairs and Projects:** We meticulously plan and execute repairs and projects, ensuring optimal use of resources and adherence to quality standards. **Exploring Additional Revenue Streams** * **Diversify Income:** Beyond rental income, properties can generate additional revenue. We explore opportunities such as signage, parking, storage, rainwater harvesting, and solar installations to boost your investment's profitability. **The Swindon Property Management Advantage** Our dedicated team comprises experts in various facets of property management, including facilities management, finance, marketing, operations and a national team of brokers focused on leasing.
