Kelvin Francis Ltd have been managing my rental property for approx. 10 years and I am very pleased with the service that I have received. During that time there have only been two different tenants in the property and they have both been very good, so they find decent tenants. If any work needs to be carried out in the property I am notified via email and they arrange for a tradesman to carry out the repairs if I am happy with the quote. I would definitely recommend this company if you are a landlord.
Kelvin Francis provided an excellent and thoroughly enjoyable service throughout. They literally ‘do’ everything they say they are going to. All of the team are happy to help and very engaging. Polite, positive and extremely efficient, I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Kelvin Francis. They were outstanding.
