Great Relationships, Committed Staff, Industry Regulated.
At Scanlans we believe that relationships are the key to our success; not only relationships with clients but also with those of our staff, which is why we think so many of our team has remained with us for so many years. As relationships are at the core of our business, the knowledge that our staff develops throughout all departments – from the Accounts Department, Credit Control and the individual Property Managers – ensures a level of continuity and attention to detail, to the benefit of all of our clients.
At Scanlans we value all of our staff and are committed to career progression. To aid in this process we have three Team Leaders, experienced Property Managers, who are available as an additional point of contact and who offer training and guidance to other staff members.
Proud RICS & ARMA Members
We are one of few companies in the North West who are members of both the RICS and ARMA, which exclusively regulates the management of residential leasehold properties.
We are also regulated by the FSA in the conduct of insurance business and carry the appropriate level of Professional Indemnity Insurance. Membership of these organisations provides our clients with peace of mind and the assurance of a professional approach.
