Landlord FAQ
WHAT TYPE OF PROPERTIES DO YOU DEAL WITH?
All types – but normally properties with a minimum of 2 bedrooms. They can be with or without a garden or parking and the property doesn’t have to be in good condition but nice enough for tenants to move in. If you’re unsure whether your property fits the bill, why not contact us to find out more.
HOW QUICKLY CAN YOU TAKE A PROPERTY ON?
Once we have visited your property, within 24 hours we will make you a fair offer based on market conditions in your area. The price we agree to will be the price we pay for the duration of the contract, regardless of what happens to the market. If the property is vacant, we could be signing contracts and preparing the property for letting.
DOES THE PROPERTY NEED TO BE REFURBISHED ?
Not necessarily. We take on fully furnished, part-furnished, and completely unfurnished properties. If you have previously rented to undergraduate students, the furniture may not be the type we normally use, and would ask you to remove it. Our customers are professionals and postgraduate students who expect a higher standard of living than most undergraduate students. This would be reflected in the offer we make you.
HOW DO I RECEIVE RENTAL PAYMENTS?
We will set up a monthly standing order direct to your bank account for the agreed rent. The transfer will be made on the same day every month for the duration of the contract.
WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?
We don’t take fees from landlords. Nor do we charge tenant finder fees or the usual sky-high management fees. We make our profit from the difference between what the customer pays us and what we pay you.
I HAVE A WHOLE PORTFOLIO OF PROPERTIES; DO YOU TAKE ON MULTIPLE HOUSES FROM ONE PERSON?
Yes that’s not a problem. We can take on one or 20 houses from you, provided they meet our criteria.
I HAVE SOME FRIENDS WHICH ARE ALSO LANDLORDS – COULD YOU HELP THEM TOO?
Yes we could. When you recommend a friend we pay you a referral bonus of £200 per property that we take on
