Homes
Eccord has created a unique home management service for clients who live in their own property, yet would rather avoid the time-consuming inconvenience of home maintenance. From every day essentials to more substantial works, we will take the worry out of maintaining your home.

Our highly experienced team are passionate about delivering proactive property management, and are always on hand for any advice - no matter how big or small

We have an established network of trusted, reliable contractors. With many only working with corporate clients like us, we can assemble an enviable collection of professionals to manage your property that would not normally be available to homeowners. What’s more, our longstanding working relationships with these experts allow us to hire them at their most competitive rates - savings we pass on to you.

Our conscientious approach to management makes your home work for you. Built on a full understanding of your property, and keeping abreast with industry trends and developments, our carefully planned preventative maintenance is designed to minimise costs and ensure stable upkeep.
Conducting a competitive tender process, we achieve economies of scale not possible as a standalone owner, and transparent forecasting and reporting keep you apprised of how our service is an indispensable investment in the long-term value of your property.

expertise
The Team
With over a decade of experience in the industry, our award-winning property sourcing team have acquired more than 300 properties for their clients over the years.
Led by Jo Eccles, one of the UK’s leading authorities on luxury residential property, we combine a deep intuition for building client relationships with an extensive knowledge of the London property market.
As well as working with individual clients, we work with many leading international companies to secure suitable homes for their employees when relocating to London.
Combining a meticulous and conscientious approach, we are trusted to look after our clients on their relocation journey, and deliver results that they would not be able to achieve by themselves.
Our Fees
This includes an exhaustive search of all rental properties available, including those deemed ‘off-market’ to private individuals, and a full day of accompanied viewings.
It is extremely rare that we would need to start a new search and do a second day of viewings. However, if we do, this will be charged at £1,200.
This service also includes all negotiation of rent and tenancy terms, and project management of the entire rental process including approving the tenancy agreement, referencing, fund transfers and snagging.

Dedicated negotiators
With us in your corner, your property’s optimum rental opportunity is realised. Recognising the individuality of your property, we advise on how best to present it, identify any cost-effective pre-tenancy works, and appoint the best of London’s premier letting agents.
We proactively monitor performance to ensure that your property is prioritised and marketed to the right type of tenants. Not only do you benefit from the discounted fees our preferred status affords us, but we protect you from the hidden costs and clauses of letting agent contracts by holding them to our own Terms of Business - including guaranteeing no renewal fees.

The perfect match
Happy tenants make for happy owners. With effective communication and handling of household issues, we build strong professional relationships with the people that are living in, and looking after, your home.
Providing an excellent service to tenants encourages renewals, and minimising void periods between tenancies is key to your property achieving its best possible rental yield. We handle all the negotiations and paperwork and, since we guarantee no renewal fees, you’ll save on average an extra 6% per year.

We build lasting relationships with our tenants, reducing the cost of unnecessary tenant changeover and ensuring good tenants stay long term
In expert hands
Our conscientious property managers will oversee all aspects of the ongoing tenancy. As well as handling rent collection, we supervise your expenses to ensure that funds are spent wisely. Our experience informs our deep understanding of the different ongoing maintenance, expenditure and snagging that comes with different properties, and this helps us foresee any potential issues and deal with them quickly and cost effectively.
We will run your property as if it were our own – responding immediately to emergencies, carrying out regular maintenance and investing in upgrades and refurbishments where we feel it will benefit the value of your property.

Maximise potential
Reporting all income and expenditure to you on a regular basis, we will share our expertise and provide you with honest and valuable advice about the long-term management of your property. Combined with the money we save you on letting fees, which is on average 18% of the total rent over a three year tenancy, we are determined to help you achieve the best return on your investment.
If you own a portfolio of properties, we can help you consolidate, handle all paperwork in house, standardise your tenancy agreements and provide one point of contact for any solicitors, banks or anyone who requires performance information.
