Michelle Denny Recruitment is supporting Hobbs Estates in the search for a Property & Lettings Manager to join its commercial property team. You'll work closely with the Directors, becoming the day-to-day link between tenants, agents, contractors and professional advisers, helping ensure the portfolio is managed professionally, commercially and efficiently.

Hobbs Estates is a family-run commercial landlord and property investment business with a diverse portfolio centred around Earls Colne Business Park. This is a broad role where you'll balance tenant relationships with the commercial side of property management, taking ownership of a varied workload while helping the business continue to deliver the responsive, practical service it's known for.

One day you could be progressing a lease renewal or marketing a vacant unit, the next coordinating maintenance works, resolving a tenant query or working alongside the accounts team on service charge matters. If you enjoy variety and like seeing things through from start to finish, you'll feel right at home here.

As Property & Lettings Manager, you'll play an important part in the day-to-day management of the commercial portfolio.

Duties including:

• Managing day-to-day relationships with tenants, agents, contractors and professional advisers.

• Coordinating maintenance, repairs and inspections across the portfolio.

• Supporting commercial lettings, lease renewals and Heads of Terms.

• Working alongside the accounts team on service charges, invoicing queries and arrears.

• Maintaining accurate property and lease records using Yardi Voyager.

• Supporting the Directors with compliance and the continued development of the portfolio.

What we're looking for

You're someone who enjoys building relationships, communicates confidently and takes pride in getting the detail right. You're organised, commercially aware and happy taking ownership rather than waiting to be told what to do.

You'll probably already have experience within commercial property management, commercial agency, facilities management, block management or another landlord and tenant-facing environment. Experience within commercial property or a similar landlord and tenant-facing role is more important than holding a particular qualification, although, qualifications would be useful.

You'll also bring:

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.

• Excellent organisational and administrative ability.

• A practical, commercially aware approach to problem solving.

• Confidence managing a varied workload and changing priorities.

• Good Microsoft Office skills and confidence learning new systems.

• A full UK driving licence.

What's on offer

• £55,000 - £60,000 per annum, pro rata, depending on experience.

• Flexible part time (with full time a potential option)

• 24 days' holiday plus bank holidays.

• Discretionary performance bonus.

• Primarily office-based

• The opportunity to join a respected family business where you'll have the autonomy to make a genuine contribution and help shape the future of the role.

If you'd like to discuss the opportunity further, please call Michelle Denny for a confidential conversation or simply apply online.
