Senior Lettings Negotiator
Location: Maidstone / Ashford (should be able to drive to surrounding areas of Kent and London).
OTE: Up to £32,000 including Bonus.
Flexibility: 50% work from home possible.
Are you ready for a fresh start in lettings? Imagine a role where you work directly for the landlord, skip the corporate red tape, and enjoy the freedom to truly make an impact. At The Kushman Group, we’ve redefined the property management experience, and we’re looking for a passionate and driven Lettings Manager to join our team.
We’re a family-run business with over £10 million in property assets across Kent and South East London - all of which we own and manage ourselves. Unlike traditional lettings agencies, we don’t work for other landlords. Every property you’ll handle is directly owned by the company, making you a key part of the landlord team. This isn’t just a job - it’s a chance to take real ownership of your work and contribute meaningfully to our success.
What Makes This Role Different?
* Direct Impact: No middlemen here. You’ll represent the landlord directly, with the autonomy to make decisions that matter.
* Freedom & Flexibility: Work 50% of your time from home and the other half conducting viewings, inspections, and more. Say goodbye to office commutes and rigid hours.
* Real Responsibility: Skip the cold calls and chasing leads. You’ll be fully immersed in hands-on property management and tenant relationships.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Finding Tenants: Advertise properties on platforms like Spare Room and Rightmove, conduct viewings, and match the right tenants to the right rooms.
* Managing HMOs & Holiday Rentals: Use your expertise to ensure our short-term lets and HMOs are fully compliant, profitable, and tenant-ready.
* Tenancy Management: Handle tenant onboarding, ASTs, queries, and screenings with professionalism and care.
* Relationship Management: Ensure all tenants adhere to their agreements, pay rent on time, and manage sensitive situations like evictions when needed.
* Maintenance Coordination: Work with our Maintenance Manager to keep properties in excellent condition, from scheduling repairs to managing seasonal services like landscaping and gardening in the HMOs.
* Compliance & Reporting: Prepare regular property reports for key stakeholders and ensure all HMO regulations are followed.
* Maximizing Occupancy: Achieve high occupancy rates, reduce void periods, and keep rents fair and profitable for the company.
What We’re Looking For:
* Experience: A strong background in managing HMOs and short-term rentals is essential.
* People Skills: Whether it’s tenants, contractors, or team members, you excel at communication and building positive relationships.
* Organised & Results-Driven: You know how to juggle responsibilities, hit targets, and stay detail-oriented.
* Location & Travel: You’ll need to be based in or near Maidstone/Ashford, have a full UK driver’s license, and use your personal vehicle for travel (mileage expenses covered).
Why Work With Us?
At The Kushman Group, you’re not just managing properties - you’re directly shaping the success of our portfolio.

You’ll be part of a family-run, supportive team that values your contributions and gives you the flexibility and autonomy to thrive.
If you’re looking for a role that combines freedom, responsibility, and the chance to be a true partner in property management, we’d love to hear from you.
