FAQs

The answer lies in the question – we work with only ONE tenant type. We excel in this area and provide a streamline service. There are no surprises and the rent gets paid on time – hassle free and you’ll be doing genuine social good at the same time. It’s a win-win situation!

Combined, we have 20 years of experience in all degrees of managing or handling this client type. Nobody else in the North West can say that.

With any tenant type, there is going to be wear and tear. Whilst we do accept there may be a slightly higher degree of wear and tear, the fact that these tenants have only recently been granted refugee status in the UK means they want to establish a base in the UK and will be on their best behaviour. First and foremost, they will be more than grateful that they are being housed away from the desolate conditions from where they originated from and this degree of appreciation will be reflected in the manner of how the house is kept.

Further to the above, we are the only lettings type company that offers add on services to the clients when it comes to integration which provides ongoing training and well-being for the duration of the tenancy.

A 2 month break will be required and we will hand back the property in the same condition that it was handed to us. In the same vein, if we felt that the property wasn’t working out for us, then we also have a 2 month notice to the landlord to exit the lease. 

We have a steady supply of tenants who are desperate for stable housing. They do not have any credit history in the UK, nor can they get tenant referencing history. By being housed with us, they will quickly be able to get a personal history in the UK and will be able to get on with their lives. 

We don’t need to advertise for tenants, we don’t need to take an inventory as we supply this ourselves, nor do we take any finders fees or management fee. We look to fix an agreed rental amount with the landlord and then to make a small margin on the rent accrued on top. This helps with our operating costs.

Stride Partnership will be your tenants. We are backed by a number of funding bodies and have a duty to our community to cater for them. We have our own arrangements with the tenants i.e. newly granted refugees. There is no requirement for you to speak to or liaise in any way with the refugee tenants. 

We would be looking to take the property on for a minimum of three years and will pay the guaranteed rent amount from day 1 with no voids for the duration of the lease.

As mentioned elsewhere, we have a steady supply of tenants that get referred to us from councils, hostels and the Home Office that fit the refugee profile. 

We will offer between 90% to 100% of the market rent depending on what type of property you have and to what terms we can agree. Remember, there would be no other fees to you and we’d guarantee that amount for the duration of the lease.
