New Job Available: Property Manager wanted to join the Whites team
Here at Whites, we have successfully matched people to property in Salisbury and the surrounding area since 1957. We are incredibly proud of the trust and faith extended to us from our amazingly loyal client base in our sales and lettings departments, where we continually strive to help our clients achieve their property dreams.
Our continued success across our sales and lettings teams proudly confirms Whites’ status as the No.1 Estate Agent in Salisbury, as confirmed by Rightmove stats. This status has been achieved through the hard work, dedication and professionalism of our high-performing, talented and enthusiastic staff.
Due to this continued success, along with our commitment to providing our clients with the best levels of service, we are now looking to find a further full-time Property Manager (PM) in our Salisbury Lettings team.
About your role as a Property Manager at Whites:
Our PM roles form the absolute cornerstone of our lettings department. Operating in a fast-moving, professional, and friendly environment, they offer an excellent opportunity to develop further, enhance and hone your skills. This comes with the added benefit and reassurance of continued support and encouragement from colleagues and management alike. We have a proven track record and commitment to aiding your personal and career development.
As a PM at Whites, you will manage a portfolio of residential properties and oversee the entire lifecycle of the letting process. From the initial landlord valuation and/or enquiry from a potential tenant to the successful completion and let, which includes the subsequent ongoing management beyond. This will consist of attending property visits, during which you will work towards developing a personal relationship with both the landlord and tenant. The role, therefore, requires you to reach out and get to know your clients, for which a driving licence is essential.
Your responsibilities will be:
• Advise landlords on property safety and comfort measures.
• Assist tenants during viewings and application process.
• Qualify tenant suitability and schedule appointments.
• Update property database and initiate marketing activities.
• Negotiate offers and manage paperwork for lettings.
• Coordinate maintenance for prompt response.
• Conduct rent reviews and manage notice periods efficiently.
• Attend property visits to address maintenance issues.
• Maintain accurate financial records.
• Collaborate with internal teams to optimize property performance.
• Ensure compliance with leasing agreements and regulations.
Requirements:
• Strong sales and persuasion skills with previous client-facing experience.
• Experience in property management with a thorough understanding of the rental process (preferred).
• ARLA qualification preferred but not essential.
• Ability to manage changing priorities.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Proficiency in property management software (e.g., ALTO) and Microsoft Office Suite.
• Valid UK Driving Licence.
• Fluent in English.
Benefits:
• Competitive salary with negotiation based on experience, with emphasis on management and leadership experience.
• Potential bonus or commission pay (job-role / circumstance specific).
• Contributory employee pension scheme.
• Clear career progression opportunities, including support towards professional qualifications (e.g., Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) membership and/or the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS)).
• On-site parking in Salisbury city centre.
• Company-hosted events.
