SloughLandlord servicesOne home to a block
Property management you can read line by line.
One property, several homes or a block. You decide how much Dukes coordinates, and the written terms record exactly what that covers and what stays with you.
Choose the work, not the package
Three services, compared by what leaves your plate.
Choose by the work you want Dukes to coordinate, not by a name alone. The written proposal confirms the exact tasks, charges and exclusions.
Property preparation, marketing and tenancy set-up. Day-to-day tenant contact, rent administration and repairs come back to you once the tenancy starts, unless something else is agreed in writing.
Rent CollectionTenancy set-up plus recurring rent administration and statements. Repairs, inspections and the compliance documents remain your responsibility unless the written terms say otherwise.
Fully ManagedOne day-to-day route for tenant and property coordination: the contact route, repair authority, inspection rhythm, document coordination and ending process, all set out in writing.
The responsibility register
Who holds what, written on one page.
Coordination is not the same as transfer. These are the duties Dukes coordinates under a management instruction, and the ones that stay with you whichever service you choose.
Dukes coordinates
Dukes coordinates-
Rent collection and statements
Collecting the rent, passing it on and providing a statement you can keep.
-
Tenant communication
Being the route a tenant uses for everyday questions about the tenancy.
-
Repairs and contractor coordination
Receiving repair reports and arranging for work to be carried out, up to the spending limit you set.
-
Compliance-document coordination
Keeping track of the safety and energy documents a tenancy needs, and when they expire.
-
Inspections, changes and endings
Visiting during the tenancy and reporting what was found; then notice, check-out and the return of the deposit.
Stays with you
Stays with you-
The legal duties of a landlord
They remain yours throughout. Coordination does not transfer a landlord’s legal responsibilities.
-
The spending decision
Above the agreed repair limit you are asked first, and you decide whether the work goes ahead.
-
The decision on an applicant
Dukes carries out the checks a landlord relies on; who is accepted is confirmed in your written terms.
-
The commercial terms
The amount, whether VAT applies, who pays and when it falls due are settled in your proposal, not on this page.
-
Ending the arrangement
How the instruction and the tenancy can be ended, by either side, and what notice applies.
Coordination does not transfer a landlord’s legal responsibilities. Your written terms should say exactly what Dukes will do and what must be referred back to you.

Management is the same discipline whether it covers one of these doors or all of them.
At your scale
The same standard, whatever you own.
The register does not change with the size of the portfolio. What changes is how many properties sit on it and who you speak to.
One home, one written scope.
Start with the property you own today. The conversation settles what you want handled, what you want to keep, and which of the three services sits closest to that.
- 01Written scope
- 03Services to compare
A portfolio, kept on one register.
Each property keeps its own written scope, because each one has its own tenancy, its own documents and its own repair history. What they share is a single named contact at Dukes.
- 01Named contact
- 01Scope per property
A block, coordinated as one.
A block is a set of tenancies that share a building. The written terms say which parts are coordinated for the whole building and which are handled unit by unit, so nothing sits in the gap between the two.
- 01Coordinated route
- 01Scope per unit
Whatever the scale, the exact scope, responsibilities and charges are confirmed in Dukes’ written terms before instruction.
Before anything is signed
It starts with a written scope, not a package name.
The first conversation is about the property and the work: what you own, how involved you want to be, and which tasks you actually want taken off your plate. That conversation becomes the written scope.
- Single homes, portfolios and blocks
- Responsibilities agreed in plain English
- The exact tasks, charges and exclusions confirmed in writing before you instruct
The handover
Clear responsibilities from day one.
Once the scope is agreed, the practical detail is confirmed: the property information, the contacts, the repair route and the spending limit above which you are asked first.
- Key property information checked
- The repair route and spending limit set down
- Which compliance documents Dukes arranges, and which stay yours
Your portfolio stays private.
Only owner-approved details and images are ever published. No tenancy, owner or occupier information appears here, and homes currently available to rent stay in the property search.Who you deal with
One named person, and protection you can inspect.
Management is only as good as the person answering. You deal with Amrit, and the cover behind the arrangement is published in full below.
You deal with Amrit.
Dukes is an independent Slough agency. The person who agrees your scope is the person who runs it.
Amrit was incredibly helpful, professional and most importantly trustworthy. He was always responsive, took the time to explain everything clearly.

Before you instruct
Leave the conversation with six answers.
- The service name, and exactly which tasks it covers.
- Every charge, how it is calculated, and whether VAT applies.
- Who pays each charge, when it falls due and how often.
- The repair spending limit above which you are asked first.
- Which compliance documents Dukes arranges and which remain yours.
- How the tenancy can be ended, by either side, and what notice applies.
Your next steps
A straightforward route into management.
Three moves, in the order they happen. Nothing is binding until you have the written terms in front of you.
-
You act
Tell Dukes what you own
One property, several homes or a block, and where it is.
-
Together
Choose what leaves your plate
Compare the three services against the work you actually want handled.
-
Dukes acts
Get it in writing
Dukes issues the written terms: the tasks, the charges, the repair limit and the ending route.
Your property, your level of support
Talk it through against one real property.
Bring the address and what you want handled. You will leave the conversation knowing which service fits and what the written terms will need to say.
