"Local Matters: Why Our Maintenance Team Is Back in Branch"

Posted on: 7 August 2025

Your Local Property Experts, Right Where You Need Them

At CGT Lettings, we understand that property isn’t just bricks and mortar—it’s your most valuable asset. That’s why we’ve made the deliberate decision to bring our dedicated Maintenance Team back into our branch offices, where they can be seen, spoken to, and relied upon by landlords, tenants, and the wider community.

While many agents seek to cut costs by centralising services, outsourcing, or relying on impersonal systems, we believe the opposite approach adds far greater value. Our in-branch maintenance team ensures:

  • Local knowledge on your doorstep: Our team lives and works in the areas they cover. They know the local contractors, the properties, and the community.

  • Immediate accountability: Problems don’t disappear into call centres. Our team is available face-to-face and can take ownership of issues quickly.

  • Stronger relationships: Whether it’s a burst pipe or preventative works, being able to speak to someone you know builds trust and resolves issues faster.

  • Better communication: With direct lines into property managers and inspectors, issues are diagnosed and handled more effectively.

  • Invaluable experience: Some of our maintenance staff have been with us for over 20 years. Their insight into local properties is irreplaceable.

As independent contractors are increasingly acquired or consolidated into large, remote operations, CGT proudly chooses the personal approach. We combine economies of scale with the familiarity and dependability of a local team—delivering speed, care, and cost-efficiency in equal measure.
