Professional Property Management in West Yorkshire

Being a landlord in today’s market is not as simple as handing over a set of keys. With over 160 pieces of legislation governing the private rented sector from safety compliance to eviction protocols, the risks of getting it wrong can be costly.

At McAteer Property Consultants, we take the weight off your shoulders. We don't just "let" properties; we manage assets.

Whether you are an accidental landlord letting out a family home in Knottingley, or a portfolio investor expanding across the wider UK, our goal is the same: to find you the best tenant, at the best price, while keeping you strictly compliant with the law.

Why Landlords Choose McAteer

We believe that a rental property is likely the most expensive asset you own. It deserves to be looked after with the same care and attention to detail as if it were our own.

  • Rigorous Tenant Vetting: We never compromise on referencing. We perform deep credit checks, employment verification, and previous landlord references. We would rather wait a week for the right tenant than fill your property with the wrong one.
  • Compliance Experts: We stay ahead of the ever-changing regulations, so you don't have to. From EICRs and Gas Safety Certificates to Right-to-Rent checks, we ensure your paperwork is watertight.
  • Proactive Maintenance: We use trusted local contractors to handle repairs quickly and cost-effectively, preserving the condition of your property and keeping your tenants happy (and staying longer).
