Eccord makes a double hire within Property Management team
We are delighted to feature LPF Founding Member Eccord, a leading property search and management firm helmed by founder Jo Eccles, as they announce two significant appointments to their property management team. This strategic move sees the addition of Steve Wilson as Senior Property Manager and James Markham as Property Manager, further enhancing Eccord's reputation for excellence in managing prime and super-prime rental properties in London.
Eccord, the property search and property management firm run by founder Jo Eccles, has bolstered its property management team with two experienced new hires.
Steve Wilson joins as Senior Property Manager with over a decade of technical experience, including roles as Property Asset Manager and Head of Property Management for two highly regarded independent agencies in London. Steve has managed properties for individual and large portfolio landlords, building strong relationships through outstanding service and technical property knowledge.
Joining as Property Manager, James Markham brings extensive skills managing rental properties and considerable project management expertise gained from overseeing residential renovation projects in the UK and abroad. Together, Steve and James will work closely with Eccord’s prime and super prime landlords to proactively manage and maintain their investment properties.
Eccord’s rental specialists and property management teams are closely integrated, working side by side to provide a fully joined up service for landlords within the firm’s £1.5bn residential portfolio under management.
Jo Eccles, founder and Managing Director of Eccord, said: “The consistent and overwhelming feedback from our landlords is their number one priority for a stringent vetting process to ensure we are placing good quality, reliable tenants in their properties. This is closely followed by net yield, which requires a proactive and experienced property management team to oversee expenditure and maintenance, protecting cash flows and net rental income. Steve and James bring a wealth of additional technical property knowledge and experience and I’m delighted to welcome them to our team.”
Senior Property Manager, Steve Wilson, said: “Eccord has built an outstanding reputation in the world of prime and super prime rentals. Their approach is based on robust preventative property management processes and this is an ethos I passionately share. I look forward to further building on this reputation within our growing portfolio.”
Property Manager, James Markham, said: “I first came to Eccord as a client and was immediately struck by the team’s professionalism, integrity and client-focused culture. For some landlords, their investment property is their pride and joy; others simply want peace of mind that their property assets are being efficiently managed on their behalf. It’s a privilege to be able to apply my hands on experience and knowledge to oversee some of London’s best prime and super prime rental properties.”
Eccord set up its property management service a decade ago, originally at the request of search and acquisition clients acquiring rental properties, who were seeking professional property management support with their rental investments.
Jo Eccles adds: “Over the past decade, our portfolio has grown to £1.5bn of properties under management and more than 50% of our rental portfolio now comprises landlords who have appointed us independently and solely for property management.”
Eccord has seen particular growth with landlords who have been self-managing their rental investments and are now seeking to outsource their responsibilities as compliance and regulation becomes more complex, and landlords whose properties are already professionally managed and are seeking a superior property management experience to what they have previously encountered.
Alongside their established rental property management services, Eccord more recently launched a hugely popular Home Management service to support home owners in maintaining and running their homes, whether they live there full time or only during certain periods of the year.
