A fully managed investment is when a professional company takes care of every aspect of your investment on your behalf – from purchase to ongoing management.
In property investment, this means you own the property, but a specialist team handles all the day-to-day work for you.
Fully Managed Investment in Property
In property investment, “fully managed” means you can buy a rental property and hand over all the management responsibilities to a lettings or property management company. They deal with everything from finding tenants to arranging repairs, while you receive the rental income (minus their fee) and any capital growth over time.
This approach suits:
- Busy investors who want a hands-off approach.
- Landlords living far from their property.
- Portfolio investors wanting consistent management across multiple assets.
How a Fully Managed Property Investment Works
Example: You purchase a two-bedroom flat as a buy-to-let. A fully managed service will:
- Market the property and find tenants.
- Run background checks and prepare tenancy agreements.
- Collect rent each month.
- Arrange repairs and maintenance.
- Ensure compliance with landlord regulations.
If rent is £1,200 per month and the management fee is 10%, you’d pay £120 to the company and keep £1,080 (before mortgage payments or other costs).
Benefits of a Fully Managed Property Investment
- Saves time – No tenant calls, viewings, or chasing payments.
- Expert compliance – Keeps you on the right side of landlord law.
- Reduced void periods – Professional tenant management.
