Ben Property Marks Name Change By Welcoming New Landlords With Golden Hello

Ben Property, Edinburgh's premier residential letting and property management company, is marking its change of name from Jenners Property Lettings by welcoming new portfolio landlords with a unique 'golden hello'.

The innovative 'golden hello' consists of two main elements: an upfront payment based on the gross rental income of a portfolio, payable immediately upon the signing of a management agreement, even before properties are tenanted and a free 'rent guarantee' policy covering the first six months of each new tenancy.

Stuart Montgomery, Business Development Director of Ben Property, said: "We strongly believe that this package of financial incentives, combined with our high quality and personalised service will be of very considerable benefit to the capital's portfolio landlords in what is an increasingly challenging rental market.

"Those who take advantage of this package will also benefit from our consistently high occupancy rates, our use of professional inventory clerks and the ability to take advantage of our festival lets service in order to increase rental yield on central properties."

Ben Property is able to offer landlords a generous golden hello due to its financial strength and stability, as part of E.G. Thomson (Holdings) group of companies.

A boutique residential letting and property management operation with a diverse property portfolio ranging from one bedroom studio flats to full townhouses and detached houses, all based within Edinburgh and the surrounding area, Ben Property has undergone significant investment to position it to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by the current dynamics of the capital’s property market.

E.G. Thomson (Holdings) is a private, family-owned, Edinburgh-based investment company with interests in residential property management and investment, business and groups travel agency and private equity investment. The company is also involved in shipping agency and logistics in Asia.
