At Cosgroves, we value honesty, integrity and professionalism. Our independence, unrivalled local knowledge and commitment to our business ethics, means we provide all our clients with a bespoke service which is most suited to them.
This is enriched by our insight into all three areas of the property trade; sales, lettings and block management. Interweaving these gives our team an edge when it comes to keeping up to date with the ever changing environment of property within Southsea and the surrounding areas.
Despite our ever-growing size, the team at Cosgroves remain grounded and approachable – a result of being a family run business. We provide no-nonsense, pragmatic advice which we have fine-tuned over our 30 years in the property field.
What can we do for you?
We provide the same high level of respect in all departments and have dedicated staff who are experienced in their sector of the property field, creating a fully qualified team who will work together to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Works:
We provide a designated works team, which allows you to rest easy knowing that your home is in good hands. Our 24 hour emergency line provides assistance and is manned in-house, so you receive the same expertise in and out of working hours.
Whilst this service is of great importance for those unpredictable moments, our works managers also carry out routine inspections of our blocks and lettings properties under a managed contract. This helps to solve problems before they are in need of emergency help. Our routine visits also provide a great opportunity to keep in touch with landlords, tenants and residents of our blocks, allowing us time to check that they are satisfied, as well as ensuring the building is up to our top quality standard.
Sales:
The Sales department has a wide range of contacts including solicitors, surveyors and mortgage providers. We have a great understanding of the wide range of properties found throughout Portsmouth and the surrounding areas. This means we can give accurate valuations of properties leading to a quick sale, as opposed to unrealistic prices in order to gain your business which can leave your property without a buyer for considerable time. Selling your property is our top priority; not commissions, numbers on the books or properties in the window.
Our sales and lettings teams work together in order to provide one another with vital information of the other’s market. This kind of teamwork allows us to provide the most up to date information on rental and sale valuations, as well as providing market information on the types of properties available for investments such as buy-to-let’s.
Vendors with properties located in blocks that Cosgroves manage will benefit from discounted rate.
Lettings:
We pride ourselves on clarity, making sure that there will be no shocks caused by hidden costs throughout the whole process. Finding the correct property for tenants is a necessity; be that a short term summer let, a student property or a long term professional rental. Making sure that the right tenant is placed with the right property means that Tenants and Landlords can have a peaceful process with both parties caring about the property, which is a most certain path to a successful, problem free tenancy.
Client Money Protection:
Our scheme provides compensation to landlords, tenants and other clients should an agent misappropriate their rent, deposit or other client funds. In the event that the owners of the business steal or misappropriate any of this money there is a route of redress against the letting agent by contacting the Scheme and claiming against the Scheme. If a genuine claim is accepted by the Scheme, the Scheme will recompense the landlord or tenant and seek recovery from the letting agent or its owners. A Client Money Protection scheme does not act on behalf of the letting agent. It is an independent membership body that provides the protection of client money whilst held by its members and the Scheme insures its liability for the payment of any claims.
