27 Birch Terrace, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 3JN
Twenty years managing rentals on the same five towns you're buying in.
Move the sliders. These are real Stoke-on-Trent numbers — terraced stock in ST1 to ST6 typically buys between £90,000 and £125,000 and rents hard because of the hospital, the two universities, and the A50 logistics corridor.
Comfortably above the UK average of 3–5%.
Illustrative. Excludes mortgage interest, insurance, ground rent, and repairs. Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price. We'll build you a proper figure against a real address on the consultation.
Every plan is tailored, and the fee is on the table before you commit. No renewal charges buried in clause fourteen.
You keep control of the property. We find the tenant, reference them properly, and make sure the rent lands.
We source it, refurbish it, let it, and run it. You look at a statement once a month and otherwise forget you own it.
This is the biggest change to the private rented sector in thirty years. Non-compliance means fines, tribunal claims, and real difficulty getting your own property back. Here is what actually changed.
Section 21 is abolished. Possession now runs through revised Section 8 grounds, and a tribunal can be asked to test your reason. Documentation is everything.
Fixed terms are finished. Tenancies roll month to month from day one. Tenants can leave on two months' notice, so keeping good ones is now a financial strategy.
Hazard reported: investigate in 14 days, written findings, repairs begun within 7 more. Emergencies in 24 hours. Miss it and you're looking at a rent repayment order.
Section 13 notice only, market value only, once per twelve months. Tribunals can now lower your proposed figure but never raise it — so tenants have nothing to lose by challenging.
The standard now applies to private rentals. Stoke has older stock than most of England — ageing boilers, damp, and tired electrics are now a compliance problem, not just a tenant grumble.
Every landlord must register themselves and each property. The portal becomes publicly searchable. Not registering carries penalties and restriction notices.
We keep all of this current on your behalf. Managed landlords with us don't read the legislation — we track it, evidence it, and hold the paperwork if it's ever tested.
The capital that buys one deposit in the south buys three here. But a yield only matters if the property is never empty — and Stoke's tenant demand rests on four things that aren't going anywhere.
One of the largest tertiary hospitals in the UK. Rotating medical staff need quality professional lets, continuously, all year.
Tens of thousands of students between two universities, plus a postgraduate population that wants proper housing rather than student blocks.
Amazon, Bet365 and Jaguar Land Rover have all invested heavily here. Long-term working professionals, not transient lets.
Multi-million-pound town centre schemes and an active Homes England partnership underwriting long-term capital growth.
You tell us the address, what you paid, and what's gone wrong so far. We tell you honestly what it should rent for and whether it's compliant. Free, and there's no pitch at the end.
Gas, electrical, EPC, deposit registration, Decent Homes hazards, portal registration. We give you the list of what's missing before it becomes a tribunal problem.
Photographed properly, listed across the portals, and offered to our existing waiting list first — which is how a lot of our stock never needs a To Let board.
Credit checks, employment verification, previous landlord contact, right to rent. We turn down more applicants than we accept, and that's the whole point.
Rent collected, inspections quarterly with photographs, certificates renewed before they lapse, repairs handled. You get a statement. That's the relationship.
Thirty minutes with someone who has been letting property in these five towns since 2004. Bring an address and we'll tell you what it's really worth.
Free, 30 minutes, no obligation.
So we put you with the right person.
Weekdays only — the office is open 8:00 to 17:30.
