Structured, Tech-Enabled Buy-to-Let Management

Q: Do you offer tenant-find-only services?

Unity’s model is structured around ongoing asset oversight rather than transactional letting. Tenant sourcing is included within full management, designed for investors seeking long-term operational stability and hands-off ownership.

Q: Do you build management costs into your investment modelling?

Yes. For properties acquired through Unity, underwriting incorporates realistic operating assumptions including management fees, maintenance allowances, void allowances and, where applicable, rent protection costs. This ensures yield and ROCE projections reflect net performance rather than gross rent figures.

Unity manages buy-to-let properties with operational discipline, clear compliance, and transparent reporting delivering long-term portfolio stability within a structured property investment platform designed for investors rather than traditional lettings.

FAQs About Property Management

Got questions about property management? Unity’s FAQs cover everything investors need to know - from fees and compliance to managing buy to let, HMOs, and short lets, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

What percentage do property managers charge in the UK?

Property management fees in the UK typically range between 8% and 15% of monthly rental income, depending on service scope and regional coverage. Unity charges 11% for structured buy-to-let management. Our fee reflects a model built around compliance governance, operational oversight and long-term asset performance - not simply rent collection.

We do not charge renewal fees or tenant administration fees.

Is rent protection included in your management service?

Rent protection is not automatically bundled into the management fee, but it is strongly recommended.

Where eligibility criteria are met, Unity can coordinate rent protection and legal expenses insurance through approved providers. These policies may cover:
‍

Rental arrears
Legal costs associated with possession proceedings
Ongoing support in the event of disputes

Unless an investor formally opts out in writing, rent protection is assumed within our underwriting framework.

Where assumed, the estimated cost of rent protection is incorporated into Unity’s property appraisal and yield modelling so that projected cashflow reflects prudent operating assumptions rather than headline rent figures.

This approach ensures transparency between acquisition underwriting and operational delivery.

How does the Renters’ Rights Bill affect managed properties?

Unity’s compliance framework is aligned with current and forthcoming UK rental legislation, including the Renters’ Rights Bill. We proactively monitor regulatory changes and ensure:
‍

Tenancy documentation remains compliant
Licensing requirements are met
Safety certifications are up to date
Arrears procedures reflect current legal standards

Our objective is to reduce regulatory exposure and protect long-term asset stability as legislation evolves.

Do you manage properties not acquired through Unity?

Yes. Unity can manage externally acquired buy-to-let properties, subject to initial review and onboarding assessment. This ensures the property meets our compliance standards and operational framework. Where required, we may recommend adjustments to tenancy structure or compliance documentation prior to onboarding.

Do you offer tenant-find-only services?

Unity’s management model is structured around ongoing asset oversight rather than transactional letting services. While tenant sourcing is included within our full management offering, our platform is designed for investors seeking long-term operational stability and hands-off ownership.

Do you build management costs into your investment modelling?

Yes. Where a property is acquired through Unity, our underwriting incorporates realistic operating assumptions, including:
‍

Management fees
Maintenance allowances
Void allowances
Where applicable, rent protection costs

This ensures yield and ROCE projections reflect net performance rather than gross rental figures.
