Managing a rental property can be highly rewarding — but it also comes with a host of responsibilities, legal requirements, and unexpected challenges. Whether you’re a first-time landlord with one property or a seasoned investor managing a portfolio, having the right letting agent by your side makes all the difference.
At Churcher Estates, we work closely with landlords and property developers across Ormskirk, Burscough, Southport, Scarisbrick, and Parbold, offering tailored property management services designed to protect your investment, maximise your returns, and take the pressure off your day-to-day responsibilities. Here’s what landlords should expect from a professional, well-managed letting service — and how we deliver on every front.
Timely Rent Collection & Financial Clarity
One of the most essential parts of any property management service is ensuring rent is collected on time and processed efficiently. Late or missing payments can affect your cash flow, especially if you have mortgage obligations or multiple properties to oversee.
Our team monitors rent collection closely and ensures that payments are chased and followed up professionally. You’ll receive clear, regular statements so you always know where your rental income stands. And with expert financial oversight, you can feel confident that your property is generating returns as expected.
Up-to-Date Legal and Tax Guidance – Including MTD
The legal landscape for landlords is always evolving. Recent changes such as the rollout of Making Tax Digital (MTD) for landlords with annual rental income over £50,000 (set to apply from April 2026), as well as updates to EPC regulations and Section 21 reforms, all carry serious implications.
At Churcher Estates, we keep our landlords informed and compliant. You won’t be left scrambling to catch up on new legislation. Our team ensures that your responsibilities — from right-to-rent checks to tax filing timelines — are clearly explained and easy to manage. We partner with local accountants and legal professionals who can provide deeper support if required.
Expertise in HMOs and Multi-Unit Properties
Managing a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) requires a more detailed approach. With specific licensing requirements, safety regulations, and tenant management needs, HMOs can be complex — but they also offer higher returns when handled correctly.
Churcher Estates has extensive experience managing HMO properties in Ormskirk and the surrounding areas, including student and professional lets. We know the licensing criteria, fire safety rules, and local authority processes inside and out — helping you stay compliant while reducing vacancy periods and tenant turnover.
Reliable Maintenance & Emergency Response
When something goes wrong in your property — whether it’s a leaking pipe, broken boiler, or electrical issue — it needs to be fixed quickly and professionally. Poor maintenance not only impacts your tenant’s experience, it can also damage your investment and your reputation as a landlord.
We work with a trusted network of local tradespeople, gas engineers, electricians, and contractors, ready to step in when needed. From routine inspections and boiler servicing to emergency repairs, our fully managed lettings service ensures that maintenance is handled swiftly and cost-effectively, with clear communication and no hidden costs.
Peace of Mind for You — and Your Tenants
Our role is to look after your property as if it were our own — and to ensure your tenants feel safe, respected, and looked after. A happy tenant stays longer, pays on time, and takes better care of the home.
From handling deposits and tenancy agreements to mid-term inspections and renewals, our property management team is proactive and available whenever needed. We provide a direct line of contact for both landlords and tenants, ensuring issues are resolved quickly and your property is always performing at its best.
Tailored Support for Landlords & Developers
Whether you’re an individual landlord looking to simplify management or a property developer needing support across multiple sites or unit types, our approach is never one-size-fits-all. We take time to understand your goals — whether that’s long-term yield, portfolio growth, or short-term turnaround.
Our service includes property marketing, tenant screening, rental assessments, and compliance audits, all tailored to your specific needs. As Ormskirk’s award-winning estate and letting agents, we’re proud to support professional landlords with a service that’s reliable, transparent, and results-driven.
Work With Letting Agents Who Understand Property Professionals
Managing property successfully takes more than just collecting rent. It’s about staying ahead of regulations, minimising void periods, handling tenants professionally, and maximising the return on your investment — all while protecting your time and peace of mind.
At Churcher Estates, we specialise in fully managed property services designed for landlords and developers who want expert support without the daily hassle.
