Landlord Security
We offer landlords security through long-term, guaranteed tenancies as well as the reassurance that their property is giving vulnerable people a chance to live as independently as possible in a safe, supportive environment.
Nationwide Demand
Birch Housing works with many different kinds of landlords throughout London and the UK. Landlords with a range of property portfolios, from single properties to large multi-site portfolios.
SOME OF THE BENEFITS OUR LANDLORDS RECEIVE:
GUARANTEED RENT
Rent is paid even if the property is empty. This is also paid in advance and not through housing benefit.
PEACE OF MIND
All tenants go through an application process and are carefully vetted to ensure that they are suitable for the available property. We also cover maintenance, small repairs and upkeep of all properties that we rent, saving landlords stress and expense.
LONG-TERM TENANCIES
The vulnerable people we work with seek stability and a home for the foreseeable future. Between this, the support and the positive environment we instil in all the accommodation we manage, tenancies tend to span long periods of time.
EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT
Our team are highly experienced in private sector lettings, social housing, tenancy law and working with vulnerable people. We understand that landlords want tenancies to be straightforward, their rent paid on time and their property looked after.
It is our mission to house vulnerable people across the UK and in return for help towards this, we do our utmost to ensure that the process is hassle-free, beneficial to landlords and that properties are returned in the same condition they were initially rented in.
We take care of all wear and tear during tenancies INCLUDING:
BASIC KITCHEN PLUMBING
BASIC BATHROOM PLUMBING
CARPETS
FLOOR COVERINGS
HOME DECOR
LOCK REPLACEMENT AND KEYS
