GUARANTEED RENT

FOR LANDLORDS

HOW IT WORKSWHAT BLACKBERRY LETTINGS CAN DO FOR YOUBeing a landlord can be highly rewarding, both financially and personally, but it can also take over your life, and become all-encompassing. Bad tenants, chasing rents, voids and maintenance issues can all leave you frustrated and stressed, and even when things are going smoothly, the endless viewings, contracts to prepare, references to perform, deposits to secure, and more, can be a headache.

If you’re feeling like you’re struggling to fit everything into your busy life, Blackberry Lettings can lighten your load. We have years of experience as landlords and letting agents, and are always keen to take on new properties in the TW and northern KT postcode regions. We’re willing and able to lease your property for long terms, of 3 YEARS or more, and fundamentally become your tenant.

We would perform a light refurb, and take care of any repairs or upgrades required to bring your property up to meet current safety standards and legislation, before letting it out to our clients; working young professional sharers from companies and organisations such as BP, Heathrow Airport and Ashford Hospital. We fully vet and reference all applicants, secure their deposits in government backed schemes, and let rooms out to them on individual six month assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs).

WE MANAGE EVERYTHING from there, and you will only ever have to deal directly with us, as we are your tenant. No more time taken up with admin and viewings, nor the stress of voids and maintenance issues, just sit back, relax and enjoy your guaranteed, PASSIVE INCOME.

We will consider, either furnished or un-furnished properties, currently let or vacant; as long as it can be made into a suitable home for our young professional sharers, we can usually give you an offer within 24 hours. Your guaranteed rent starts shortly afterward, as soon as the lease is signed, or the refurbishments are complete.

And unlike high street agents, we NEVER CHARGE FEES, ever, so you’ll always make much more working with us.

MAKE MORE WITH USWhen renting a property out, there are many financial variables to consider. As you can see from the chart, it’s easy to overlook the multitude of hidden costs that will eat away at your profit every month.

We’re different from regular high street agents though, in that we charge absolutely NO FEES, ever, leaving more profit for you. We take all the risks for void periods and non-payments ourselves, guaranteeing that you will receive your rent on time, every time, regardless.

Achieve truly passive, predictable income, and MORE PROFIT, by working with Blackberry Lettings.

Being an independent, hybrid tenant / letting agent, we pride ourselves on our local

knowledge.

We’ve built up relationships with some of the major employers in the area, and always have a backlog of prospective tenants looking for rooms. Our contacts within the local authorities, and

our knowledge of their good practice guidelines and licensing

requirements, mean we are able to ensure your property is always kept

FULLY COMPLIANT with all relevant regulations.

We have developed a database of trusted local tradespeople to ensure that any work carried out on your property is to the

highest standards, and carried out by fully qualified and insured contractors.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

LANDLORDS

TENANTS BIG PICTURE

You can entrust your property to Blackberry Lettings, with confidence, secure in the knowledge that we will maintain it to the highest standards. In fact, most of the landlords we’ve worked with have been so happy with our service and benefits, that they’ve extended their contracts, and show no desire to leave us at all.

We are not like your typical high street agents; we take BETTER CARE of your property, and with our cleaning, gardening and maintenance team, ensure it’s maintained in tip-top condition at all times. So much so that, the few times we have had to return a property, they were in better condition than when they were handed to us.

Given our years of experience as landlords and tenants, we know the importance of putting only the best tenants in your property. When we consider a potential new tenant, we always check they have a steady job, can afford the room they wish to rent and that they would be a good fit for the household. All our clients are YOUNG PROFESSIONALS who work for reputable organizations and are thoroughly referenced before a room is rented out to them.

We take sole responsibility for your property; we are accountable for any lost rent, potential damage or tenant misbehavior, and we handle all tenant calls and emergencies. Hence, we are extremely careful to ensure that we only accept the BEST tenants in the first place.

By now you may be thinking that all this sounds too good to be true, and because we love transparency, we want to share with you how we’re able to offer this service;

With all the guarantees, security and benefits we offer, we pay you a slightly reduced rate.

As we don’t charge any fees, you still MAKE MORE money per month overall.

We are 100 percent responsible for your property management, giving you peace of mind.

Because we offer higher end services, we charge our clients a slightly higher rent.

We do the bulk of the work, collect rent, pay you and the bills.

Our profit margin is what’s left over.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANER AND GARDENERTo ensure your property is kept clean and tidy, we supply a regular cleaner and gardener, completely FREE of charge.

Our cleaners and gardeners go about their jobs with the utmost professionalism, and are our ‘eyes and ears’ in the house; reporting back to us the minute they notice any issues, before they can escalate.

When it comes to maintaining your property, we leave nothing to chance. We only use TRUSTED and capable tradespeople, for all jobs, large or small, on your behalf. We will be sure to gain your permission before any maintenance is carried out, and keep you appraised of progress, should you desire.

We ensure that all the tradespeople that we use are fully qualified and INSURED, in order to maintain the highest possible standards.

If you have other tradespeople you think can do the job better, we will be happy to work with them instead. We always aim to keep your property in good condition, but some accommodation must be made for fair wear and tear, especially over a longer term lease.

Let us work with you, and make you more money...

LEGISLATION

OUR GUARANTEE TO YOU

Before signing your property management over to us, you are welcome to have an inventory carried out by an independent company of your choosing, or we can arrange this for you if you’d prefer. We perform regular inspections of the property to keep on top of any issues before they escalate, and you’re always welcome to inspect the property yourself, whenever you want, as long as you give us 48 hours prior notice.

Being a landlord brings with it a whole raft of constantly moving legal regulations and obligations - fire safety regulations, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, gas and electrical certification, licensing conditions and more. You can RELY ON US to keep on top of all this for you. Your property will always be legal and in full compliance with all relevant regulations.

Your property will be kept CLEAN, well maintained and compliant.

DEPOSITS

INSURANCE

Because we are a hybrid tenant / letting agent, we don’t pay deposits to landlords. We do however take deposits from all our clients and put them safely in a government backed DEPOSIT PROTECTION scheme. These funds are then used to repair any damage caused by the tenant upon leaving, should that be necessary. However, we have hardly ever had to do this.

As you’re the owner of the property, the building insurance remains your responsibility. Residential insurance will probably not be adequate; you’ll need a buy-to-let or specialist HMO policy. We have our own public liability insurance in place, and advise our clients to obtain their own contents insurance.

GAS SAFEBlackberry lettings organizes inspections on your behalf and will be at your property to meet with the engineer. After this is completed, we send you a copy of the certificate and keep one for ourselves. This test is carried out to determine that all gas appliances in your property are safe and in good condition. We will organize this for you every year, as failure to do this comes with heavy penalties.
