Helpful Audit

We recently had an audit undertaken by Darren Kitchenside.

Darren outlined exactly what would happen before the visit.

The visit itself was extremely constructive and not trying to catch us out but genuinely pointing out what we could do better and what we needed to do to make our company fully compliant.

After the meeting we were send an extremely thorough review and links and aids to carry out everything that was discussed during the meeting.

Rafael came to our business on behalf of the property mark audit for the company. This was the first time our company has done anything like this and it really was a good experience.
We didn’t rate perfect on this round but I now have the information I need to be able to ensure we get top marks on the next audit.
The whole process was really interesting and informative.
Been a member of property mark gives great credibility for our company and it’s definitely a needed service to ensure all agents are dining from the same page and giving a fair and ethical service as an industry. In my eyes ALL agents should be registered and regulated.
Looking forward to the next one and our goal it’s top marks!

Excellent Audit by Darren Kitchenside

The meeting/audit was really informative and very helpful and didn’t feel at all like some form of draconian compliance visit – thank you for making it so Darren.

Thank you so much for the follow up guidance and advice it was really helpful and the additional attachments & templates you emailed over were very useful and it is always good to get an alternative viewpoint. Likewise with separate email about the provision of Material Information, most inciteful.

I was very impressed by the way Darren conducted the visit, he made me feel at ease and the level of knowledge that he was able to share with me was impressive.

Many thanks again for all your help & guidance, it is very much appreciated.

Matt Rawlings & Lisa Barber

The whole process with Propertymark from start to finish was a pleasure, we were looked after by Lisa initially and then Matt afterwards. They were both helpful, friendly and professional even when we had some issues the support was there. Propertymark are essential to the industry and the industry would be worse off if we didn't have Propertymark or their team.

Compliance audit made easy by Darren Kitchenside

I recently underwent a compliance audit with Propertymark, and I cannot express how pleased I am with the exceptional service provided by Darren. From the outset, I must admit that I was quite fearful about the audit process. However, Darren's follow-up email prior to the audit not only alleviated my concerns but also showcased his commitment to ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for us.

During the audit, Darren's professionalism was truly commendable. He conducted the assessment with thoroughness and attention to detail, making sure every aspect was covered. His expertise was evident, and he took the time to explain various aspects of the audit, providing valuable insights and advice along the way.

What sets Darren apart is not just his technical proficiency but also his ability to communicate effectively. He was approachable and patient, addressing any questions or concerns I had during the audit. His friendly demeanour made the process much more comfortable, and I felt confident throughout.

The post-audit phase was equally impressive. Darren not only delivered the audit report promptly but also went the extra mile by offering useful resources and advice for maintaining compliance. This level of dedication and centric approach is truly rare and greatly appreciated.

In conclusion, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Darren for his outstanding advice and recommendations. The positive experience I had with him has not only eased my initial apprehensions but also left me with a sense of confidence in the professionalism of his work.

Thank you, Darren, for your exemplary service and commitment to ensure that policy and procedures are adhere to by property managers.
