Rent Arrears

Published: 22/04/2026 By Jamie Goodwin

Is Your Letting Agent Performing at This Level?

At Greenwood Property Consultants, we believe that great property management isn’t just about collecting rent—it’s about protecting your investment, minimising risk, and delivering consistent results.
We’re proud to share that across our managed portfolio, just 1% of rent is currently in arrears.  In that 1% those landlords are covered by our comprehensive rent and legal protection leaving their mind at ease. In an industry where arrears can quickly eat into returns and create stress for landlords, this figure reflects our proactive, hands-on approach to property management.

What Makes the Difference?
Our success comes down to a few key principles:
1. Rigorous Tenant Selection
We don’t cut corners when it comes to referencing. Every tenant undergoes thorough affordability checks, credit history reviews, and background screening to ensure they are reliable from day one.2. Proactive Rent Monitoring
We don’t wait for arrears to build. Our systems flag missed or late payments immediately, allowing our team to act quickly and professionally before issues escalate.3. Strong Communication
Clear, consistent communication with tenants helps prevent misunderstandings and keeps payment expectations front of mind.Protection That Gives You Peace of MindEven with the best processes in place, unforeseen circumstances can arise. That’s why all eligible properties under our management benefit from comprehensive rent and legal protection.
This means:
  • Your rental income is safeguarded
  • Legal costs are covered if action becomes necessary
  • You can let your property with confidence, knowing you’re protected
If you’re a landlord in Colchester, it’s worth asking:
  • Is your current agent achieving arrears levels this low?
  • Are you fully protected against missed rent and legal disputes?
  • Do you have complete confidence in how your property is being managed?
If the answer to any of these is “no” or even “not sure,” it might be time for a conversation.

At Greenwood Property Consultants, we set high standards because landlords deserve better. Low arrears, strong tenant relationships, and full protection aren’t extras—they’re essentials.
