Landlords

SLiQ is an acronym for Shared Living in Quality, and that’s what we’ve provided since 2016 by bringing colour and passion into the lettings industry.

Our tag line is “More Than a Business” and we drive with passion, integrity, and synergy – we are simply out to have everyone win.

If we may be blunt, if you had the money, time, desire, and experience to maximise your property through the all-inclusive sharing market you would already have done so.  It’s not that you can’t do it, but we fill in the gaps and deal with the fluff so that you can spend your time on higher income generating tasks, or holidays!

First we pop round for a viewing, we can quickly ascertain if a win-win solution for both yourself and SLiQ can be achieved – be sure to tell us what is important to you. 

The process can be as quick as you would like, whether you want to enquire for the end of your tenancy next summer or you have a voiding property that you want us to collect keys for today, you shape the process to your needs.

We have various systems in place to prevent this but at the end of the day it’s a fair question:

• We as the middle-man would disappear leaving you to collect the (higher) rents directly from the tenants directly. 
• Deposits are secured to the property with the DPS so would revert to the owner by default, no paperwork is necessary except providing proof of ownership from the Land Registry costing £3.
• If any rents are unaccounted for then our guarantor will cover that whilst we work together to solve that.

Any further questions you may talk with our Legal Advisor Steve Mead.

With signature from our guarantors, no matter the state of the property market you are guaranteed to get your rent every single month for the foreseeable future.

We have a vested interest in keeping your property in the best possible condition so that we don’t have rooms empty, because a vacant room comes out of our profit not yours. For these reasons and many more, this makes it the most secure way of letting your home.

We have many eyes in the property – our fortnightly cleaner reports maintenance and wear and tear issues, and we also see the property when doing viewings, taking meter readings, meeting handymen, attending for the annual gas certificate and so on.

You can also come and view the property at any time given reasonable notice.

You remain responsible for the usual things to keep the property habitable – roofing, plumbing, sanitary, hot water etc.  We take on minor maintenance jobs and give the property a facelift along the way as necessary.

• To expand upon that, if the toilet roll holder gets ripped off we will replace it, but if the boiler breaks down you will hear from us, you can use your trusted tradesmen if you wish and we will meet them at the property, otherwise we can get a few quotes for you to choose from. 

Any damage from the tenants not covered by their deposit is our responsibility.

Pretty much, you will get paid your rent every month and not need to deal with anything.

One Landlord said that we are “just shy of a miracle”, but instead of claiming it we will leave that to you, the light refurbishment is normally the first ‘ahah’ moment, but you’ll soon see why our Landlords want to renew with us, and renewing of contracts is our financial motivation to make sure that we excel throughout the term.

We take on 5* brand newly refurbished properties, all the way down to ugly ducklings that have been ‘let and forget’. Whether we are just adding some finishing touches or investing £15,000 into your home, we make sure that the end product is a modern, clean, beautiful, warm and cosy feeling home, and we keep it this way to ensure we attract the best tenants in London.

A typical light refurbishment includes painting throughout, new carpets, replacement furniture, fully furnishing the kitchen, and upgrading fire safety. You have the option to keep most of this at the end of contract.
