“Last month saw a record number of LOWE licensee applications \u2013 yet despite increased demand, we always select quality over quantity.”<\/strong><\/p>\n Zohara Palmer, our Services Team Manager, explains how LOWE’s rigorous vetting process ensures we only recruit high calibre, responsible and reliable property guardians. \u201cI look after all the applications that come into us at LOWE \u2013 and it\u2019s been a busy month!\u201d says Zohara.<\/p>\n \u201cWe pride ourselves in our careful selection procedure. It\u2019s all about ensuring we have trustworthy, reliable, enthusiastic and engaged licensees living in the properties we are entrusted to look after.\u201d<\/p>\n The selection process has evolved since Zohara joined LOWE. \u201cWe have become extremely meticulous in our checks \u2013 which has changed the type of licensees we attract. We\u2019re now getting more professionals and key workers \u2013 doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, teachers, and so on.\u201d<\/p>\n Zohara explains: \u201cIt\u2019s quite an intense process \u2013 and it\u2019s a two-step approach. Firstly, applications are completed through our website, which requires evidence of employment, landlord details, passport status and bank statements. Only once applicants have successfully passed that stage will our lettings team meet the candidates face-to-face for an interview.\u201d<\/p>\n Zohara adds: \u201cAnother improvement in the application process is asking about interests, hobbies and ambitions. We\u2019re basically creating communities in our buildings, so it\u2019s really important we have certain types of characters living together harmoniously.\u201d<\/p>\n Creating a community feel within a building is crucial. \u201cWe have a property liaison officer, who is the go-to person for any issues.\u00a0 Our licensees make friends for life, we\u2019ve even had a couple who met, got married and bought their own property, through guardianship!\u201d<\/p>\n At LOWE we believe it’s important to offer opportunities to people from the surrounding area \u2013 and licensees are often recruited from the local neighbourhood, giving them the chance to live in quality affordable, temporary accommodation near their place of work.<\/p>\n Zohara sees first hand that the presence of property guardians can benefit the local community. \u201cWhen you get a really good bunch of licensees they\u2019ll do the gardening, grow things, they\u2019ll make the outside of the building look nice \u2013 and I think that really helps in a residential area where other people are living. Rather than having empty, dormant properties, our licensees bring them back to life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We Recruit Only The Best Guardians To Look After Your Vacant Buildings “Last month saw a record number of LOWE licensee applications \u2013 yet despite increased demand, we always select quality over quantity.” Zohara Palmer, our Services Team Manager, explains how LOWE’s rigorous vetting process ensures we only recruit high calibre, responsible and reliable property […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":17252,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[55,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"\n
