Property Management Software

We use CFP WinMan software which is a secure and effective property management system specifically aimed at the residential market. It facilitates the day to day accounting and property management routines to enhance business efficiency, from marketing properties to matching and mailing, managing viewings all the way through the process of accepting a tenancy.

CFP WinMan has been designed for agents and property managers who wish to extend their capabilities beyond just letting and managing residential properties. It is primarily targeted at companies who also undertake extended property management functions such as Residential Block Management, Commercial Office Block Management, the management of Retail and Industrial Units or estates, alongside mixed portfolio developments with a combination of property types.

Amongst its many capabilities, CFP WinMan includes the tools required for the budgeting, management, collection and reporting of service charge funds, the management of commercial lease obligations and for calculating retail zones.

CFP WinMan manages all aspects of the relationships between landlords/freeholders, tenants/leaseholders and suppliers/contractors, whilst ensuring that compliance to statutory financial and legal obligations are maintained.

Within block management, CFP WinMan comprehends the complexity of service charge properties and is capable of dealing with different service charge scenarios. On the commercial side, it will hold data for commercial leases, such as estimates rental value and use class and details of the lease, such as the decoration and break clauses are easily recorded.

CFP WinMan simplifies complex accounting and eliminates repetitive routines whilst speeding up standard procedures. It will produce presentable documentation to send to clients, tenants and suppliers, all of which have an option to reply by e-mail, thereby significantly improving customer communication and cutting down on paperwork. Ultimately, it allows Negotiators, Property Managers and Property Accountants to work far more efficiently, proactively and productively.

Application Process

We will require one document from List A and two documents from List B below for each person over the age of 18 (or approaching 18 years) intending to parentally reside at the property. All documents are to be received within 48 hours of reservation and, if guarantor (or other documents) are required, these need to be delivered within 48 of request.

If you’re in the UK temporarily, on a Visa or time-limited permit, we will require one document from List C.
We will also require copies of the last three months bank statements and a full Credit Reference Report for each applicant dated in the last three months.

To reserve a property, we will require a Holding Deposit equivalent to one week’s rent. This will be allocated towards the first month’s rent on the day you sign the tenancy agreement. The Holding Deposit will not be returned if an applicant withdraws, fails the Right to Rent check or provides false or misleading information.

You will also have the option to sign up with Hallmark Utility Management who will notify the relevant Utility Companies and Council of your new tenancy without charge.

Once the references are returned satisfactorily, we will arrange a date for your move in. The move in date must be within four weeks of the application date unless otherwise specifically agreed. You will be required to attend our Anstey Office to sign the agreements and collect the keys on your move in date.

Rent and Deposit – These can be paid by cheque or bank transfer at least 5 working days before the agreed move in date. Alternatively, they can be paid in cash or by debit card on the agreed move in date in our offices.

Payments by credit cards are not accepted.

Rent is payable monthly in advance and is payable on the same day as the commencement date in any subsequent month.
The deposit amount is calculated at the equivalent of 5 x the weekly rent (i.e. if the monthly rent is £650.00 the deposit payable will be £750.00). The deposit will be registered in the Tenancy Deposit Scheme until the end of the tenancy and returned within 10 working days providing there are no dilapidations or any rent arrears.
