UK Finance Awards 2023

Westbury Investment Management Ltd, trading as Westbury Property, serves as the gold standard for property management services, providing both corporate businesses and individual investors with results that are outstanding. This is bolstered by a proven track record operating within the residential property investment marketplace and a host of client testimonials praising the professionalism and high calibre of service afforded by Managing Director Robert Maxwell MARLA, Director Paul Rayden, Associate Director of Property Management Alan Parish MARLA, and the rest of the friendly, knowledgeable team. Westbury Property is trusted by landlords across London to look after their best interests, helping them to save money on fees and ultimately improve their investments by intelligently managing their property portfolio. Best Privately-Rented Property Asset Management Company – London With decades of experience to boot, Westbury Property is acutely aware of the importance of close management when it comes to property, something that is essential in making the most out of an investment. When a client’s property is up for renewal, the team will get a fast decision from the tenant or have it on the market by the time that the tenant has left. Should the latter be the case, estate agents are entered into competitions against one another, with only the best tenants left standing who will pay the best rent for a property. After-care promises are also delivered on, such as the regular reconciliation of fees, frequent checks on the property, and the challenging of any unnecessary charges. As an example of the stellar work done by the firm, its portfolio in Central London had a 30% vacancy rate upon acquisition. Today, that portfolio is maintained effectively, fully compliant, and has a 98% occupancy rate, producing more income than had previously been expected. Services offered by the firm include PRS management and a dedicated capital markets team, but it is Westbury Property’s property management and asset performance solutions in particular that have won it this award, with these areas being afforded the upmost accountability, structure, proven, and highly efficient solutions, with a commitment to the right solution being found to any challenge that may arise. Westbury Property’s effective property management systems are designed to ensure that every tenancy under its watchful eye runs like clockwork from beginning to end, achieved through the tremendous upkeep of every property in its portfolio and a pledge to rent them at market rates, yielding the best possible returns for clients. It is also the aim of the team to make the changeover as seamless as it can be, with every attempt being made to avoid a pause in a client’s income. As part of its rigorous vetting process, detailed checks and referencing is carried out to assure that a client is the right fit for the property and can pay on time. The team know that even the most reliable tenants can encounter issues on occasion, and to this end, the company proudly acts as the first port-of-call for a tenant for any problem, with an emergency service line that operates 24/7 serving to provide peace of mind for landlords and renters alike. Regular contact is kept with renters throughout and a comprehensive financial management system is in place to keep track of all rent, ground rent, and service charges, regardless of a client’s portfolio size. Operating across London with major holdings in Paddington, London Bridge, and Twickenham to name a few, this expert service takes the hard work on a client’s behalf. In a similar vein, Westbury Property’s asset management serves as an extension of the above services, and a plethora of solutions are available ranging from re-renting properties at a higher level to converting or refurbishing properties, achieving planning permission for the purposes of extension, creating additional units within an existing build, or even seeking out unused land or roof spaces to expand an asset. An example of undertakings in this department include the work carried out on 21 properties in Crouch End, which were under-let and in poor condition. Tenants were approached independently about their rates, and after 2 years, annual rental income had increased by 33.7%. Through these examples, it is easy to see how Westbury Property lives up to its claim of garnering better results for its clients, doing things better than both high street agents and self-managers. Thanks to an array of tools, experience, and untapped access to the market, the team can relieve landlords of the burden of managing their own properties, and in doing so, have solidified themselves as more than deserving of this award.
