- 4 bed spaces in Stowmarket or Sudbury (Mid Suffolk & Babergh) We are also flexible in how the spaces are made up
What we offer
- A guaranteed rent through a short term lease (3 to 5 years)
- Full professional property management. This includes property surveys, responsive repairs and maintenance (including 24 hour emergency number) compliance checks and planned works as agreed with you
- Regular visits to the property by our housing support team to ensure that your property is being looked after by our residents and that relationships in the community are positive
- Regular communication from Solo Housing on your property and organisational news
What we want
- Properties that are safe, affordable and meet the Decent Homes Standard
- A landlord that is committed to our vision of providing accommodation for single people across East Anglia through our values
