We can find you a tenant and pass them over to you or manage your property for you. If your Tenant is in receipt of housing benefit, or Universal Credit, we will work with them to ensure the rent is paid. We also work closely with Councils and receive a housing bond which can be used for deposits and/or rent in advance. Our cash deposits are protected by mydeposits.co.uk.
We keep in close contact with all our tenants by phone and text to minimise any rent arrears or maintenance issues becoming a problem. Our team inspect properties twice a year and provide a comprehensive report to you, on the condition and any works required. We have several contractors we can call on to perform such works or can use your own preferred contractor. We pay your rents over to you, less commission, by BACS monthly and provide you with an easy-to-follow statement by email.
If tenants do start to struggle with paying the rent, we will work with them to ensure they are getting all the benefits they are entitled to and deal with any debt issues, especially in this COVID-19 era. Also, if there are any repair or maintenance issues, we will liaise with you and the tenants until the situation is rectified. We will work closely with the council if the need arises and mediate between all parties.
If there is no going back on insurmountable rent arrears, or you just want the property back to sell or live in, we can issue the correct Notice and obtain possession for you for a reasonable price. We have a 100% record on obtaining possession for landlords and can liaise with CAB and Councils to ensure this is achieved if there are any issues making the case less than straightforward.
During this pandemic we have been training on a regular basis to ensure that we are up to date with all the relevant legislation and all the changes in the eviction process. We will keep all landlords and tenants informed of changes along the way.
