A SMARTER WAY TO LET – GUARANTEED RENT
BY SAM HESAMI, OF OLAYA PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
The Wirral property market continues to evolve, and at Olaya Property Management, we’ re seeing strong opportunities for investors and landlords alike— especially those open to thinking differently.
Over the last few months, our focus has been on doing just that: transforming underused or underperforming properties into highdemand homes that provide stable, long-term income for investors and landlords. At the same time, we’ re solving real challenges for care providers and local councils in urgent need of quality housing.
From HMOs to Housing Solutions While HMOs remain a key part of our investment strategy— like our recent 6-bed, all en-suite HMO in New Brighton, which is about to hit the open market— the real growth has come from working with supported housing and emergency housing providers.
We recently brought to market eight one-bedroom flats in Liscard, all fully let to a care provider on a 5-year lease. This wasn’ t just a solid return for our client— it was a powerful example of how long-term leases to the right tenants can offer hands-off, no-void income. Similarly, we’ ve placed care providers into houses in Liverpool over the past quarter and just agreed terms on more in Bootle.
For landlords, this approach offers several advantages:
• Guaranteed rent on long leases
• No tenant management or void periods
• A social impact element, by helping house vulnerable individuals
• A clean, professional service with one point of contact
It’ s a model we’ re excited to expand, especially with the growing demand from housing providers across Merseyside.
Why We’ re Attracting More Landlords Many landlords are looking for simplicity. Whether they’ ve had enough of tenant issues, regulation overload, or managing multiple properties from afar, we’ re offering something different.
With the Renters( Reform) Bill on the horizon— set to abolish Section 21 and bring in new regulations that make it harder to regain possession— some landlords are understandably nervous. But working with care and housing providers on fixed-term corporate lets removes that uncertainty. You’ re not dealing with individual tenants or eviction processes— you’ re entering a clear commercial agreement with a professional organisation.
Our message is simple: we make landlords’ lives easier. We act as the professional bridge between your property and a vetted, contract-backed provider who needs housing now. We handle everything from onboarding and compliance to maintenance and monthly reports.
This isn’ t about squeezing every penny out of a property— it’ s about securing a steady income stream with minimal hassle. And for many landlords we work with, that’ s exactly what they want at this stage in their journey.
What We’ re Looking For We’ re actively seeking more properties across the Wirral and Liverpool— particularly:
• 2-5 Bed Houses in Liverpool
• Blocks of flats in Merseyside
• HMOs or ex-care homes that can be repurposed
• Land or commercial buildings with development potential
If you’ re a landlord, investor, or agent with something suitable, we’ d love to have a no-pressure chat. Even if it’ s not the right fit now, we can often provide advice or explore other creative ways to make your property work better for you.
Looking Ahead As we continue to grow, we’ re committed to building strong, longterm relationships— with landlords, investors, and providers. We’ re proud to be based on the Wirral, and while property is our business, people are our focus.
Whether you ' re looking to free up your time, secure guaranteed rent, or simply understand how these lease models work, we’ re here to help. Drop us a line, and let’ s see if we can create a win-win.
