Landlords with a buy to let property investments in Manchester are being offered what is claimed to be a hassle-free rental and management service by Yourshack, a new lettings business.
The company has developed a package which it says will make rental properties stand out in the market place Yourshack will also help landlords fill their properties quickly, reduce the likelihood of price bargaining and get them extended rental periods.
The new business model is founded on research into the way people look for a property, their dealings with letting agents and the demographic and motivations of people in their 20s and 30s living within the city centre.
The ARLA-registered service has been launched by Mark Taylor and Mark Pickles. They came up with the idea after finding properties for more than 1,000 tenants in South Manchester.
Their website also advocates flat sharing as an attractive option to live in the city centre at a lower price point and organises networking and socialising activities so that tenants can make the most out of life in Manchester.
Taylor said: “We really are making a difference to people’s lives, making it easy for them to find the right property and helping them make friends and get the most out of living in Manchester.
“Each week we interact with many people moving to or within the city and so are uniquely positioned to facilitate networking and social activities.
“These interactions and our strong social media presence, with an active and engaged Facebook following, feed our rapidly growing database of potential tenants in the city - a strong plus for any landlord.”
“We’ve got a unique proposition that will appeal to landlords. To prove it we’re offering to the first 50 who let their flat with us six months free management service so they can experience our service themselves.”
