In addition to the values of quality and service we hold dear, Obbard has embraced new technology to further enhance its partnership with landlords and provide always-on interaction for its tenants via a mobile app.

Landlords can access all the key metrics of their rental portfolio. Rental income, outgoings, charges, maintenance issues and inventory management data are all a few clicks or taps away along with useful graphs for at-a-glance summaries.

Tenants can have their own app with access to all the key events, facts and documents relating to their tenancy.

We also provide tenants with a fault-reporting area that creates a chain reaction in our management and maintenance teams. Subsequent actions and responses are updated in real time so busy tenants and landlords can stay informed until the issue is resolved.

We believe that our technology builds on our relationships with landlords and tenants and further enhances our commitment to transparency. However, it is there to augment and not substitute our reputation for service. If you do need to speak to someone, a member of the Obbard team is always happy to help!

Maybe that's why for four years running, Houzz, the global property design and reconstruction website, has awarded us the Best of Houzz Award for Service.
