Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has expanded its specialist buy-to-let criteria to deliver greater support to both first-time landlords and those looking to invest in properties built with modern methods of construction (MMC). Unlike most other lenders who have a defined list of which types of MMC are acceptable and those that are not, HTB will consider any type of MMC as security, as long as they are approved by the Build Offsite Property Assurance Scheme (BOPAS). This new criteria was driven by feedback from intermediaries, who championed the affordability difficulties landlord clients face, as well the need to enhance the overall quality of Britain’s housing for future years to come. Additionally, HTB will now accept applications from non-home owning first-time landlords with an income of over £60,000 per annum, paving the way for the next generation of property professionals. The maximum loan size for first-time landlords is £500k and allows for a portfolio of up to four units. In addition, HTB will need to be satisfied that the applicant is not intending to live in the property. HTB provides landlords and professional investors with specialist buy-to-let, residential and semi-commercial investment loans of up to £25m for limited companies, offshore entities, expats, and foreign nationals. https://lnkd.in/e7fwBmYp

The Social Housing Residents Survey Report found that 55% of tenants were dissatisfied with the maintenance of mould, damp and condensation within their homes. As a social housing landlord, there are steps you can take to improve efficiency when dealing with maintenance issues and reported problems within your homes. Spaciable Living's Reported Issues feature gives your tenants a quick and easy tool for notifying you when any issues arise. This report will be immediately responded by a ChatBot, asking a series of questions about the problem, in order to provide advice. Some issues may fall on the tenant to resolve, in which case they will be advised on their next steps. Issues that need to be escalated to a member of your team will be sent to you via the app, creating an audit trail of communication that can be reviewed if any disputes arise along the way. Using this system results in a reduction of issues brought to you by tenants, and ensures no important issues, such as those related to the safety of the home, get missed. Get in touch to find out more about how Spaciable Living can improve your processes (link in comments). #socialhousing #housingassociation #tenants
