What's the difference between Property Protect and our competitors?

When you're facing evicting a tenant, you have a few options to choose from in terms of service providers. There are traditional law firms, insurance companies and some admin-type companies which sit in between - not quite attorneys, and not quite insurance.

So what's the difference between Property Protect and our competitors? Simple - our service comes directly from a law firm, gives the most comprehensive cover and we don't reject pre-existing claims. We are the only firm able to provide such comprehensive cover because we offer the service from directly within our law firm, Maybery Inc.

Here's a comparison of our services vs. our competitors.

Many clients are surprised to learn that Property Protect gives more comprehensive cover than other competitors, and just as much service as other law firms, for just R299 per month. Property Protect covers the entire legal processes of both evicting your tenant, and collecting unpaid rent from them. It also covers pre-existing cases (although there is a small co-payment required in these cases - still cheaper than any other competitor).

Property Protect also guarantees securing an eviction order against your tenant - or we'll refund you in full. In this regard, Property Protect stands alone - there is no other service of this kind that offers such comprehensive cover.

Property Protect's Eviction Service covers the entire legal process, including:

• consultation,

• evidence review,

• advice to you,

• letters of breach/termination to the tenant,

• drafting and launching of the applications,

• appearance at court,

• securing the eviction order for you,

• writs of execution and liaising with the sheriff, and

• ensuring your bad tenant is evicted.

Our Rental Collections Service gives the same comprehensive cover, including:

• consultation,

• evidence review,

• advice to you,

• letter of demand,

• tracing,

• drafting and issuing of summons,

• further litigation and trial,

• securing the court order for you, and

• writs of execution and liaising with the sheriff.

How can Property Protect be so cheap? Is there a catch?

Property Protect is based on an insurance subscription model instead of the usual law firm billable hours model. This is an innovation that puts us ahead of many old-fashioned firms, and addresses clients' fears of unexpected high legal bills. Subscribing to Property Protect gives you ongoing protection against all tenants, and we help you get the service for free by increasing the rental amount upon renewal of the lease. This effectively gives you lifelong cover for your property at no cost. The service is growing fast as property investors discover us, and once they understand how valuable the service is, they stay with us for the long term. This crowd-funded insurance model covers our running costs and gives our clients the advantage in the property rental market.

A Property Protect subscription is the obvious choice.

At Property Protect, we're betting on ourselves that you'll be so satisfied with the service, you'll stay with us for the long term. We've designed the service to ensure there's no risk to you. We guarantee we'll evict your tenant, or we'll refund your money in full. Sign up for Property Protect today and if you're not satisfied within the first month for any reason whatsoever, you can cancel with no obligation and receive a full refund.
