'House Doctor Service'

This established service was introduced to accomodate the needs of some Landlords.  We had found that on the occasions where we 'dressed' a property then that property was letting much quicker than others of same size and location and was achiveing a higher rental return.  The cost of this service will be determined by the amount of rooms and the service is as follows.

1. Initial meeting a property to identify needs.
2. Moving all necessary furniture/bedding/towels/ornanments from Apl offices to property.
3. Dressing the property as appropriate.
4. Puting sufficient notices at property informing prospective tenants that certain items are for display purposes only.
5. When property is let removing all APL items.

On occasions when tenants make requests for these additional items we can make arrangements to sell these to the Landlord.

Tax

Our tax department can advise clients on any matters relating to their tax in relation to their rented property. 

Insurance

We deal with all aspects of general insurance. We specialize in insurance relating to rental properties
