We often think compliance is just about things like Gas Safety (CP12) and Electrical Installation Condition report (EICR) certificates. But in reality, compliance is a complex, ongoing process that involves everything from fire safety to anti-social behaviour to licencing to sending the correct documents to tenants at the right time. Ignorance being no defence, falling behind on any of these can turn what should be a smooth operation into a nightmare.

I want to share some key lessons I’ve learned from working with many landlords and from managing my own rental properties, particularly HMOs, over the last decade. These lessons have been instrumental in helping me shift from being a solo Virtual Assistant to running a larger, more efficient VA agency supported by a team.

There are so many moving parts to growing and running a property business, and it seems that the more you grow, the less time you have, and the harder it becomes to continue growing your property business.

So, in this episode, I’m excited to introduce Jane Scroggs, the driving force behind Beam, a dynamic team of property virtual assistants based in the UK. They handle all aspects of lettings admin, compliance, and optimising portfolio operations for their property investor clients.

During this recent episode Mike and Jane talk about the who, what, where, when and why of getting help and starting to outsourcing some of the work in your property business.
