What We Do For Landlords And Investors
Ready4Home is a not for profit rental management and support company that specialises in finding and providing this housing and support.
What we need?
We are looking for good quality properties. Mainly multi occupancy houses (HMO Standards), studio apartments or one bedroom flats to lease. Our lease terms are between 5 and 10 years.
We will also happily work with you or your developer to provide a specification for conversion works to a property or for new build projects. Where properties are being developed or converted for our use, we will offer a pre lease agreement. This provides security to you as a landlord or developer that once all works are completed and certification provided you will have an agreed and guaranteed rental income.
Property condition and certification
Properties must be in a good standard of repair, meet decent homes standards as a minimum requirement and meet the following relevant and legal requirements:
- Full Fire Risk Assessment
- Gas Safety Certificate
- Fire Alarm Safety Certificate
- Emergency Lighting Certificate
- Insurance applicable to our clientele
- PAT testing certificate
- EICR certificate for electrical wiring
- EPC performance rating of C or above
As part of our requirements Ready4Home also requires landlords to provide an asbestos survey (applicable only for property built or converted prior to 2000) and an up-to-date legionella risk assessment for the property.
Why Choose Ready4Home
Guaranteed income
We pay you the monthly lease charge in advance regardless of whether the property is occupied. We usually lease properties for up to ten years at a time which means you can relax knowing that you will have a guaranteed steady rental income.
Suitable tenants
We take responsibility for sourcing prospective tenants and carrying out the necessary checks on them, as well as ensuring the appropriate behaviour of the tenant throughout our lease period. We carry out regular visits to each property and complete a full Health and Safety inspection on a weekly basis.
Hassle-free management
Ready4Home will take responsibility for the day-to-day management of the licensee, including paying the council tax and utility bills and inspecting and reporting any repairs, so you don’t have to worry about unpaid bills or repairs going unnoticed.
Property returned in a good condition
We promise to return your property to you in the same condition as when you signed the lease agreement (excluding reasonable wear and tear).
