Property management you can read line by line.

One property, several homes or a block. You decide how much Dukes handles, and the written terms set out exactly what that covers and what stays with you.

Talk through one property See who holds what

Choose the work, not the package

Three services, compared by the work Dukes takes off you.

Choose by the work you want Dukes to handle, not by a name alone. The written proposal confirms the exact tasks, charges and exclusions.

Let Only

Property preparation, marketing and tenancy set-up. Day-to-day tenant contact, rent administration and repairs come back to you once the tenancy starts, unless something else is agreed in writing.

Rent Collection

Tenancy set-up plus recurring rent administration and statements. Repairs, inspections and the compliance documents remain your responsibility unless the written terms say otherwise.

Fully Managed

One route for the day-to-day running of the tenancy and the property: who the tenant contacts, repairs, inspections, the paperwork and the ending process, all set out in writing.

The responsibility register

Who holds what, written on one page.

Handing work to Dukes is not the same as handing over responsibility. This is what Dukes takes care of under a management service, and what stays your decision whichever service you choose.

What Dukes handles

Rent collection and statements

Collecting the rent, passing it on and providing a statement you can keep.
Tenant communication

Being the route a tenant uses for everyday questions about the tenancy.
Repairs and contractors

Receiving repair reports and arranging for work to be carried out, up to the spending limit you set.
Safety and compliance documents

Keeping track of the safety and energy documents a tenancy needs, and when they expire.
Inspections, changes and endings

Visiting during the tenancy and reporting what was found; then notice, check-out and the return of the deposit.

What stays with you

The legal duties of a landlord

They remain yours throughout. Using an agent does not remove a landlord’s legal responsibilities.
The spending decision

Above the agreed repair limit you are asked first, and you decide whether the work goes ahead.
The decision on an applicant

Dukes carries out the checks a landlord relies on; who is accepted is confirmed in your written terms.
The commercial terms

The amount, whether VAT applies, who pays and when it falls due are settled in your proposal, not on this page.
Ending the arrangement

How the instruction and the tenancy can be ended, by either side, and what notice applies.

Using an agent does not remove a landlord’s legal responsibilities. Your written terms should say exactly what Dukes will do and what must be referred back to you.

In Slough

Management is the same discipline whether it covers one of these doors or all of them.

At your scale

The same standard, whatever you own.

The register does not change with the size of the portfolio. What changes is how many properties sit on it and who you speak to.

One home, one written scope.

Start with the property you own today. The conversation settles what you want handled, what you want to keep, and which of the three services sits closest to that.

Whatever the scale, the exact scope, responsibilities and charges are confirmed in Dukes’ written terms before instruction.

Before anything is signed

It starts with a written scope, not a package name.

The first conversation is about the property and the work: what you own, how involved you want to be, and which tasks you actually want taken off your plate. That conversation becomes the written scope.

The handover

Clear responsibilities from day one.

Once the scope is agreed, the practical detail is confirmed: the property information, the contacts, the repair route and the spending limit above which you are asked first.

Your portfolio stays private.

Only owner-approved details and images are ever published. No tenancy, owner or occupier information appears here, and homes currently available to rent stay in the property search.

Who you deal with

One named person, and full client protection.

Management is only as good as the team answering. You deal directly with Dukes, and the cover behind the arrangement is published in full below.

You deal with Dukes.

Dukes is an independent Slough agency. The person who agrees your scope is the person who runs it.

Amrit was incredibly helpful, professional and most importantly trustworthy. He was always responsive, took the time to explain everything clearly.

Before you instruct

Leave the conversation with six answers.

The service name, and exactly which tasks it covers.
Every charge, how it is calculated, and whether VAT applies.
Who pays each charge, when it falls due and how often.
The repair spending limit above which you are asked first.
Which compliance documents Dukes arranges and which remain yours.
How the tenancy can be ended, by either side, and what notice applies.
