Being a landlord in London can be both exciting and overwhelming. On one hand, you’ve got a valuable investment in one of the world’s most dynamic cities. On the other, you’ve got shifting regulations, demanding tenants and maintenance issues that always seem to crop up at the worst possible moment.
For many, what starts as a smart investment quickly begins to feel like a second job. That’s why more and more landlords across North West London are turning to us at Dutch & Dutch. We’ve been managing homes here since 1900 and we know exactly what it takes to keep your property compliant, your tenants happy and your time truly yours.
Here’s why we think working with a professional property manager isn’t just smart - it’s essential.
Navigating compliance without the stress
London’s rental market is tightly regulated and each borough likes to do things differently. One licence for this, another rule for that - and miss even one requirement and you could face a fine that wipes out months of rental income.
We live and breathe this stuff. Our team stays ahead of legislation, so you don’t have to spend evenings Googling “HMO licence Camden Council” or panicking about whether your property paperwork is up to scratch. With Dutch & Dutch, compliance is always handled.
Keeping disputes calm and professional
Tenant disputes are the part of property management every landlord dreads. A disagreement over a repair, deposit or contract can quickly turn stressful.
As your managing agent, we act as the buffer. We’re the professional third party who keeps conversations productive and fair - protecting your property, your income and your sanity.
Reclaiming your time
Ask most landlords what property management feels like and they’ll say “constant.”
Inspections, maintenance, tenant queries, endless admin - it never stops.
With Dutch & Dutch on your side, it doesn’t have to. We take care of the day-to-day so you can get back to your career, your family or even your next investment.
Repairs that actually get done (and quickly)
One of the biggest tenant gripes? Slow or poor-quality repairs. And we get it - no one wants to live with a broken boiler in winter.
Our long-standing network of North West London contractors means we get issues fixed quickly, properly and at the best possible value. Your tenants stay happy, and your property stays protected.
120 Years of local knowledge
We’ve been rooted in Hampstead, West Hampstead, Kilburn and across North West London for over a century. That’s not just history - it’s hard-won local expertise. We know the neighbourhoods, the councils, the property values and the quirks that come with owning here.
When you work with us, you’re not hiring an anonymous management company. You’re partnering with people who know your area like the back of their hand.
Always-on support
Boiler breaks at midnight? Pipe bursts on a bank holiday? Property problems don’t wait for business hours, so neither do we. Our 24/7 support and trusted emergency contractors mean you (and your tenants) are never left stranded.
