What impact has Coronavirus had on your role?

I've always enjoyed having face-to-face meetings with my clients, so the major implications from COVID-19 saw all communications suddenly go online. While most interactions have been via video call or over the phone, I have to say, I have made some wonderful connections with my clients during this time.

All the operational changes during the pandemic has made our Property Management team stronger. We now have improved procedures and systems in place to have stronger communication among work colleagues, landlords and tenants. This has been a game-changer while working remotely.

Is there anything in particular you have done in this lockdown period to manage your mental and physical health?

Absolutely. I found that maintaining a positive attitude and staying super organised at home really helped with managing my mindset. I always tried to get out every day for a walk or run. I started walking 5km and now I am walking 10 - 15km about 3 - 4 days a week. The most positive thing out of lockdown was being able to spend quality time with my husband and children. (Although I must admit it's great to have them back at school!)

Are you receiving a lot of enquiry, either from prospective landlords or tenants?

Now that the restrictions have eased, we have seen strong landlord and tenant enquiries come through. This has been returned with a very healthy amount of new listings hitting the market, and a high amount of properties also being leased.

What are you hoping or expecting to see in the rental market in 2021?

We are definitely expecting a higher degree of stability return to the market. The industry has already made a great start on this. I believe there will also be many more opportunities for landlords and those looking to invest next year, with some great incentives like low interest rates and discounts on stamp duty now available.
