Ferryman Quay – Lettings & Property Management
Client Background
An overseas landlord whose property at Ferryman Quay had been unoccupied for the past three years needed comprehensive support to make it rentable. Chambré was approached to provide an end-to-end lettings & property management solution, from property assessment and refurbishment to tenant selection and ongoing management.
Challenge
The property had remained vacant for an extended period, requiring significant improvements to make it appealing and functional for potential tenants. Given the constraints of managing the property while away, the landlord sought a trusted local partner to handle the entire process efficiently.
