Frequently Asked Questions

We agree a fixed monthly figure with you before anything is signed, based on the property's size, condition and location. That figure is paid to you every month for the full length of the lease — regardless of occupancy, arrears or void periods. There are no management fees or commission deducted, so the amount we quote is the amount that lands in your account.

You still get paid. We take on the lease and carry the occupancy risk entirely. Whether a room is between residents, being redecorated, or sitting empty for any other reason, your rent is unaffected. This is the core difference between our model and a standard letting agent arrangement.

We do. Day-to-day maintenance, wear and tear, and general upkeep are all covered by us as part of the agreement. You remain responsible for major structural matters and the building insurance, as you would under any lease — but you won't be receiving invoices for blocked drains or broken door handles.

We work on 3 to 5 year agreements. Longer terms give us the stability to invest properly in the property and give residents the security they need to make progress. It also means you're not re-letting, re-advertising and re-negotiating every twelve months.

We look for 3 to 5 bedroom whole houses in reasonable decorative order, with working heating, sound plumbing and no significant damp or structural issues. It doesn't need to be newly refurbished — we furnish and finish properties ourselves. If you're unsure whether yours is suitable, send us a few photos and we'll tell you honestly.

Our residents are vulnerable adults referred to us by local authorities, probation services, health teams and support charities — including people leaving domestic abuse, refugees, and adults needing supported accommodation. Every resident is risk-assessed before placement, has a dedicated support worker, and receives weekly one-to-one sessions. Properties are inspected regularly and we maintain house rules and licence agreements throughout.

We handle it. Repairs arising from resident damage are our responsibility and cost, not yours. Because we hold the lease, we also handle any removal process if a resident's behaviour makes their placement untenable — you're never drawn into eviction proceedings or legal costs.

No. You have one point of contact at D&R and that's it. Residents deal with us, we deal with the property, and you receive rent. Most of our landlords have no contact with the property at all after handover beyond an annual conversation.

The lease is a fixed-term commitment, so it can't simply be ended early on either side without agreement. That said, we'd always rather have an honest conversation than a dispute — if your situation genuinely changes, speak to us and we'll work out a sensible route forward together, including notice arrangements and a handover plan.

Nottingham. If you're slightly outside that radius, it's still worth asking — proximity to transport links and local services matters more to us than a strict boundary line.

Once we've viewed the property and agreed terms, we can usually have the lease signed and rent starting within two to three weeks. The main variable is how quickly paperwork can be turned around at your end, so being responsive on documents speeds things up considerably.
