Three ways to work with Younes Group, each shaped by how involved you want to be. All three come with the same standard of care, the same named manager and the same discretion.
For owners who live in their home, or visit it.
Your part: enjoy the home. Ask about home care
For owners who let their home.
Your part: approve the larger decisions. Ask about management
For owners who want complete certainty.
Your part: receive the rent. Request an offer
Who does what, and who pays for what, under each arrangement.

Younes Group takes a lease of your home as a company tenant. We agree a premium rent with you at the outset and pay it on the same date every month for the whole term, whether the home is occupied or not.
From the first day, the home is ours to run and ours to look after. If the boiler fails, we replace it. If the sofa wears, we renew it. The bills come to us, the residents call us, and you receive your rent.
Ownership of the home, the structure of the building, and anything your lease or freeholder looks after, such as the service charge and buildings insurance. Every responsibility is set out in writing before you sign.
At the end of the term your home is returned in the condition recorded at the start, allowing for fair wear and tear. Or we simply renew.
Clear, unhurried, and in writing at every stage.
The address and a few details, shared in confidence.
We see the home, talk through your plans and answer every question.
The rent, the term and every responsibility, set out in plain English.
We prepare the home, and your first rent is paid on the agreed date.
Rent arrives every month. We take care of everything else.
Yes. Under guaranteed rent your rent is paid in full for the whole term, whether the home is occupied or not.
Under guaranteed rent, we do. Repairs and replacements inside the home are our responsibility throughout the agreement. Under home care and full management we arrange the work at once and you approve the cost.
Usually three to five years, agreed with you at the start, with the option to renew.
Often, yes. Many mortgages and long leases require consent before a home is let. We will help you check your documents and request consent where it is needed.
It is in our interest to keep it immaculate. We inspect regularly, maintain it continuously, and send you a condition report with photographs at least once a year, or whenever you ask.
Yes. The home can be sold with the agreement in place, and many buyers value a secure income from day one.
Yes. Our maintenance team works for owners who manage their own homes or use another agent. See maintenance.
A valuation, a management proposal or a guaranteed rent offer. We reply personally, usually within one working day.
