Should I rent to Serco for 7 years?

Should I rent to Serco for 7 years?

Hello, in a last-ditch attempt to remain in property rental, I have discussed a 7-year lease with Serco to house asylum seekers. My property is on the market as I will not accept the abolition of section 21, tenant’s free legal advice, and Labour’s plans to sneak in tenancy for life, etc.

They have offered me a very competitive rent, free repairs, guaranteed rent, etc. I have had a horrendous year trying to evict, scraping dog mess and blood from my properties, and preparing for court action over damage all caused by people and this experience along with the Renters Reform Bill have made me simply want to walk away.

So my question to your readers is, has anyone gone down this route?? If so what have been your experiences, please?

Thanks,

Rebecca

I once was asked by Clear Springs which is similar to Serco, all sounded great, but after waiting for decision for 3 months I was turned down (fortunately by the sounds) because my house was in a nicer area, so the council would not allow it, as they would get too many complaints

Can I suggest you read Patrick Sullivan's comment? It's just above yours.

Seven years is an awfully long time and without any rent reviews. What if you really needed your capital out?
I think you have to consider your properties' neighbours too. Any large family creates a lot of noise and a houseful of young men might have any amount of issues. And you would have zero control over the situation. Sell up while you can.
