Why landlords hand us the keys
Every part of our model is built to remove risk, steady your income and reduce the time you spend on the property to almost nothing.
Complimentary cosmetic refurbishment and furnishing
We prepare and furnish the property at our own cost to raise its appeal to quality tenants. The asset is presented well, protected from wear and returned to you in strong condition.
Full tenant and maintenance management
Rent collection, tenant liaison, inspections and day-to-day repairs are handled entirely by our team. You receive clear reporting rather than phone calls at inconvenient hours.
Optional purchase pathways at agreement end
If selling suits your longer-term plans, we can discuss an agreed purchase route at the end of the term. It is an option, never an obligation, and it is shaped around your goals.
Local York expertise and employer tenant sourcing
We source occupants through established local employers and professional networks. Strong tenant demand is the reason we can commit to guaranteed rent with confidence.
How it works
A clear, ordered process from first enquiry through to the end of the term. You always know what happens next and who is responsible for it.
- 1
Initial consultation and property review
We visit the property, assess its condition, location and likely tenant profile, and discuss your objectives. You receive an honest view of achievable guaranteed rent before anything is signed.
- 2
Agreement structure and guaranteed rent setup
We confirm the fixed monthly figure, the length of term and the responsibilities on each side in plain written terms. Payment dates are set and there are no setup or management fees.
- 3
Refurbishment and furnishing preparation
Cosmetic works, cleaning and furnishing are completed at our expense and to a consistent standard, with compliance documentation checked before any occupant moves in.
- 4
Professional tenant placement
Occupants are sourced through local employer relationships and professional networks, then referenced and verified in line with compliance requirements before placement.
- 5
Ongoing management, maintenance and reporting
We manage rent collection, tenant communication, routine inspections and contractor coordination throughout the term, and keep you updated on the condition of the property.
- 6
End-of-term options, including renewal or purchase
Ahead of the end date we set out your choices clearly: renew on agreed terms, take the property back with vacant possession, or explore a purchase pathway.
