Who are we
Hi, I’m Jez Tribe, and I founded Able Property Trust in 1997 with a simple belief: tenants and landlords deserve to work with a real person – not a faceless agency -who genuinely understands their needs and provides an honest, transparent, and hardworking service with the highest level of customer care.
For tenants, my goal is to ensure they have a quality, comfortable home -somewhere they can truly relax at the end of the day, knowing their property is well-maintained and that their rights are protected.
For landlords, I know firsthand that many are dedicated, ethical property owners who care about their tenants and want to rent their properties legally and responsibly. These landlords deserve a trustworthy property management service with fair, transparent fees. I’m proud to work with many fantastic landlords and will continue building relationships with property owners who share this commitment.
At Able Property Trust, we believe in doing things the right way – for tenants, landlords, and the wider Nottingham community.
What we do
Able Property Trust is a Safe Agent Licensed Nottingham-based property management company offering a wide range of good quality rented accommodation throughout the city of Nottingham and its surrounding areas. In addition, we are members of and regulated by The Property Ombudsman. We also have DASH Accreditation (see below).
We own a large property portfolio ourselves, so we fully understand the needs and requirements of both individual landlords, large portfolio landlords and tenants alike.
Why we do it
As I mentioned above, I believe in providing an honest, trustworthy and reliable service. That’s something that’s always been important to me.
There’s been a lot of bad press over the years about residential letting agents, but I am determined to show that not all agents in our industry are ‘rogue’. Some of us care and have always done the right thing.
Able Property Trust is a recognised Safe Agent
SAFE – Safe Agent Fully Endorsed – is a mark denoting firms that protect landlords’ and tenants’ money through client money protection schemes.
There are several schemes in the sector operated by ARLA/NAEA, the Law Society, NALS and RICS to which agents voluntarily belong.
Landlords and tenants often make decisions based on cost but it is very important to ensure you ask your agent for details of the organisation they are regulated by and whether or not they are covered by a client money protection scheme. All agents who are part of ARLA/NAEA, the Law Society, NALS and RICS maintain and operate separate designated client accounts where your money is held completely separate from the operating funds of the firm.
If the agent you are using cannot provide you with the assurance of knowing they are covered by a client money protection scheme, the question you need to ask is why not?
Able Property Trust is part of the safeagent Client Money Protection Scheme – you can see our accreditation here.
Accredited by DASH
The aim of DASH accreditation is to encourage and promote good property standards and management practices in the private rented sector. The Quality Mark identifies the individual or company as one which has attained certain standards and commits to upholding a Code of Conduct.
For tenants, this is added peace of mind that the agent or landlord has had a selection of their properties checked to ensure they meet or exceed the agreed standards and that the landlord has undergone continuing professional development to keep up-to-date with the latest requirements and legislation.
As a landlord, I have achieved DASH Accreditation, which represents an endorsement from Nottingham City Council, DASH Services and Unipol Student Homes. I also have the DASH Landlord Development Training.
Member of the Property Redress Scheme
All Property Agents that carry out Estate, Lettings and Property Management Work, as defined by legislation, must join a government authorised consumer redress scheme.
The Property Redress Scheme is authorised by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government; the National Trading Standards Estate Agency Team; the Chartered Trading Standards Institute; and Cyber Essentials. The scheme gives both tenants, landlords and agents an independent and impartial avenue for redress in the event of a complaint, and aims to improve standards across the industry.
Our Mission
At Able Property Trust, our mission is to provide quality rental accommodation at affordable prices in Nottingham’s most sought-after areas.
