What a year of rent looks like for a Shirley landlord

Take a home that would let for £1,900 a month on the open market. Let the usual way, a normal year brings a management fee every month, a tenancy that ends, two empty months, a re-let fee, a repair bill and a late payment. Under a VividSpaces lease the same home pays £1,900 on the same date, twelve times.

* Illustration only, not a quote and not an offer. Assumes open-market rent £1,900/month, 10% management fee, two void months, £550 re-let fee, £340 repair bill, one late payment. The rent for your Shirley property is agreed in writing after we have seen it, before you sign anything.

If the property is empty, how are you still paying me?

Because the rent does not depend on who is living there. VividSpaces is the tenant on your lease, which is a company let, so the obligation to pay you is ours for the whole term, whether the home is occupied or between families.

  1. Local authorities

    Refer families who need a settled, long-term home and vet them before referral.

  2. VividSpaces

    Holds a three to five year lease with our company named on it, and places the family.

  3. You

    Paid a fixed rent on the same date every month for the whole term, agreed in writing before you sign.

Shirley's quiet residential streets, good schools, and proximity to Shirley Hills and Addington golf courses make it a settled choice for families. Semi-detached family homes are the mainstay of local rental demand.

From first call to first payment

Four steps. Not sure whether your Shirley property qualifies? Ask us, it takes a minute.

  1. Day one

    We view the Shirley property

    We look at the home, confirm what it would let for, and put in writing what we will pay and for how long. No charge and no obligation.

  2. On signing

    VividSpaces goes on the lease

    A company let of three to five years with our name on it. From the date in the agreement the rent obligation is ours, occupied or not.

  3. Before move-in

    We prepare the home and place a family

    Any light works first, then a family referred and vetted by local authorities and checked again by us.

  4. Every month

    The same figure on the same date

    Repairs, inspections, cleaning and every phone call run through our office for the whole term.
