About Jo & Co Property Management in Wimbledon
The founder of Jo & Co Property Management is Jo herself. Jo first got into property at a young age. We say this without any reservation – as she’s been interested in property since she was old enough to know what it was. As a child, property games were her favourite thing to do (she always won at Monopoly), and at 18 when others would be out partying, she could often be found watching Changing Rooms, Homes Under The Hammer or Location, Location, Location. You could say property is a bit of a passion for Jo.
“At Jo & Co Property Management, we believe the property sector should be more than just owning and renting property. It’s about working together in harmony and building relationships“
Around 10 years ago, some friends came into some property themselves, and asked her if she would like to look after the properties. That favour for friends turned into Jo’s dream job, as she soon starting working professionally for a South African landlord who owned a portfolio of properties in south London that needed to be managed. The rest, as they say, is history.
The Jo & Co Approach
A lot of the basics of the process might seem familiar to you, particularly if you’ve ever let or rented a property, but at Jo & Co, we do things a little differently.
On the landlord side of things, we market your property and find tenants. We take photos, create listings, advertise on all the usual portals (Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location etc), carry out viewings, negotiate offers, reference check prospective tenants, collect and protect deposits, create the AST or tenancy agreements, manage inventories and handle all gas safety checks, EICR reporting, EPC, ensuring landlords comply with all of their legal obligations. Once a tenant is settled, we do 6 monthly inspections and manage maintenance requests, and generally just make sure the property is properly taken care of.
For tenants, we guide them through the process of finding a property. We make sure the property is professionally cleaned before they move in and they have a full inventory, and make sure all their move-in information is ready. Once they’ve been in the property around 2 weeks, we visit to make sure they’ve settled in and answer any questions they might have. Then we leave them to it, letting them know we are available day or night for issues and emergencies.
In short, we make every effort to ensure everyone in the letting and renting process is happy and well taken care of, from beginning to end.
We strive to create the best possible experience for everyone, not only because it’s the right way to work but also because it makes financial sense.
We could go on all day about what we do – but the best way to find out more is by giving us a call on 020 3633 7977.
We are always happy to chat, especially about property!
