Liberty Blue Property Management Service Highlights
Better Rent Continuity and Cash Flow
We invest in the technology and people to ensure the most efficient and effective collection of your rental payments.
We use Splink – a simple, online payment system that facilitates prompt deposit and first month’s rent payment.
Lower Maintenance and Repair Costs
At Liberty Blue Estate Agents we have used our 20 plus years’ experience in property management to develop a system
that makes it easier for tenants to report maintenance issues and more efficient for issues to be resolved.
Our process uses technology, streamlined communication and the best team of contractors and managers to achieve
savings in maintenance at the same time as keeping our tenants happy.
We have invested in FixFlo – the online tenant repair reporting system for our landlords and tenants. This app works to
filter out issues that the tenant can resolve safely and easily and helps to process other reports for action, saving time
and money for you.
Better Tenant Retention
We employ cutting edge technology and rigorous processes to ensure that your property gets the right tenants.
At Liberty Blue Estate Agents we use Planet Verify – a technology platform that allows us to collect and protect personal data from prospective tenants such as references and other details that will help to establish their reliability rating.
We carry out inspections twice annually. We use an inspection app called inventory base. This enables us to carry out a thorough condition and safety inspection of your property. A detailed report with photographs and any necessary actions required is generated and a copy is sent to you.
Minimum Standards for Rental Property
The Residential Tenancies Board has clear information on the minimum standards that must be met for rental properties – check out their website at
www.onestopshop.rtb.ie
Non-Irish Resident Landlords
Where rents are paid directly to a person whose usual place of abode is outside the State, the agent is obliged to deduct income tax at the standard
rate from the payment (Section 1041 TCA 1997). More information is available on www.revenue.ie
