Gateway Group attended the South Essex Apprenticeship Recruitment Fair at the Towngate Theatre, Basildon, on 12 April.

We’re always on the lookout for talented people. Last summer, the Gateway Group took on two new apprentices in Business Administration and Customer Service roles, working in collaboration with South Essex College and Southend Adult Community College.

We’re keen to develop our apprenticeship scheme further, introducing new candidates to the property industry from the ground up, alongside mentors.

Last month, the Telegraph reported that global investment in property during 2017 reached a record high of £1.62 trillion, representing a 13.3% increase.

Asian capital accounted for over half of all funds invested, with London remaining the most popular place for international money. The paper cited a new report from property agency, Cushman & Wakefield, which saw any concerns about Brexit offset by sterling’s fall in value.

In Europe, Asian investment virtually doubled, but the US remained the key target for international investors, although by a reduced lead than previously. Investment in the Middle East is now at its lowest level since 2012.

Owning and managing leasehold properties can be a complicated business, from looking after everyday matters, such as maintenance, rent collection, inspections and accounts, to meeting industry legislation. That’s why, at Gateway, we believe in making a simple service promise.

From a property’s doorstep to our Head Office, we set and meet a strict code of conduct. This includes the following five commitments.

1. We provide small teams of experts who know the properties in their care, in detail.
2. Clients always speak to a Gateway professional in the UK.
3. A dedicated Property Manager will undertake regular inspections, as scheduled.
4. Clients and tenants have regular opportunities to provide feedback and rate our service.
5. We use our expertise to address issues straightaway, avoiding common problems.

Gateway Property Management is pleased to announce the opening of a new regional office, strategically located in Elland, West Yorkshire, to serve an ever-growing portfolio in the North of England. Expansion here will assist our growing team of local Property Managers in the region, providing valuable support for customers. The regional office will be supported by our Head Office team of experts, from accounts’ professionals to legal, facilities, surveying and insurance specialists.

The North remains a residential property hotspot and the number of units we look after continues to increase at pace. Nationwide, Gateway is committed to investing in the right solutions to best serve its clients and customers.

A member of the Institute of Residential Property Management (MIRPM), Kim enjoys the relationship side of the industry most, building a strong rapport with clients and customers alike. This all comes down to good, ongoing communication, honesty and attention to detail explains Kim, who is busy establishing Gateway’s new regional office in the North of the country.
