WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
I download the checklist and I found it really useful - It made me realise how easy it is to miss important steps.
I saw the compliance checklist on Facebook and didn't think I would need it but I was wrong - I now use Avenue to manage my houses.
The checklist is free - download it - I use it as an audit for my property and I found the Avenue girls really helpful.
There were some points in the checklist that I didn't know about and now Avenue take that worry off my mind about keeping up to date with legislation.
Avenue have taken over the management of my properties and they have already spotted issues that my previous agent should have picked up on.
There is so much legislation now, I can't keep on top of it all and that's one of the reasons why I am using Avenue.
