Why It Matters:

Legal Compliance: Self-managing landlords must juggle over 170 laws, ensuring EPCs, gas safety certificates, and How to Rent guides are provided on time. Missing one requirement can lead to invalid eviction notices and fines. With City & County, we ensure every detail is handled seamlessly.
Emergency Support: Boilers break, pipes leak, and tenants call at all hours. Self-managing landlords bear the brunt of these issues. We handle emergencies 24/7, keeping your tenants happy while you remain stress-free.
Tenant Quality: DIY tenant screening often leads to missed red flags. We work to ensure tenants are reliable, respectful, and meet your criteria, protecting your investment.
Portfolio Growth: Scaling up a portfolio while managing properties is nearly impossible alone. Our services free your time and resources, enabling you to focus on expansion with confidence.

The Smart Choice:

Trust City & County to manage your properties so you can enjoy peace of mind, secure income, and the freedom to grow your investments.
