Residential Lettings Manager – Client Side
London N1
Permanent.
Monday to Friday, 08:30am – 05:30pm.
The organisation
We are partnering with an established private property investment and development business with a substantial London portfolio. The organisation owns and manages over 800 commercial and residential properties, with a strong concentration across central London.
This is a client-side environment where decisions are made in-house and the residential portfolio is actively managed rather than outsourced. The culture is collaborative and team-focused, with close working relationships across property, asset management and support functions.
This is not a KPI-driven agency setting. Instead, the focus is on portfolio performance, compliance and long-term occupancy across a high-quality residential estate.
The role and responsibilities
As Residential Lettings Manager, you will take responsibility for the day-to-day lettings and operational management of circa 600 residential properties, working closely with the Head of Residential Properties.
You will oversee a team of 2 Lettings Negotiators and 2 Lettings Administrators, ensuring smooth processes, legal compliance and consistent occupancy levels.
Responsibilities include:
• Managing day-to-day residential lettings activity across the in-house portfolio.
• Advertising available properties, arranging viewings and negotiating offers.
• Negotiating tenancy terms and progressing lets through to completion.
• Ensuring compliance with current lettings legislation, including right to rent checks, deposit registration, EPCs and inventory processes.
• Overseeing rental valuations to ensure competitive and sustainable rental levels.
• Handling tenant queries and managing repair and maintenance requests.
• Liaising with contractors and raising purchase orders.
• Overseeing minor refurbishment and compliance works, including asbestos and legionella requirements.
• Reviewing and maintaining internal lettings processes.
• Working with external agents on properties outside London where required.
This Residential Lettings Manager role offers real decision-making responsibility within a stable portfolio.
The skills and experience required
To be considered for this Residential Lettings Manager position, you will demonstrate:
• Working knowledge of residential lettings and property management within London.
• Working knowledge of current lettings legislation and compliance requirements.
• ARLA or Propertymark Level 4 qualification.
• Working knowledge of Health and Safety compliance.
• Experience supervising or supporting a lettings team.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft Office, including Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• High attention to detail, particularly around compliance.
• Ability to prioritise workload and manage multiple properties.
• A full clean driving licence.
Knowledge of Horizon or similar property management systems would be advantageous.
This Residential Lettings Manager opportunity would suit someone seeking a client-side role with ownership of process and standards, rather than a target-led agency position.
