Frequently asked questions
Will I receive rent if the property is unoccupied?
This depends on the rental agreement agreed with Athena. We will clearly explain the payment structure and any provisions relating to vacant periods before entering into a partnership.
How long can I let my property to Athena?
We welcome longer-term arrangements, with the duration agreed individually based on the property and the needs of both parties.
Who is responsible for maintenance and repairs?
Responsibilities are clearly documented in the agreement. We will explain which obligations remain with the property owner and which services Athena will coordinate or undertake.
Do I need an HMO licence?
Where licensing is required, the property must comply with the relevant legal requirements. We will discuss applicable planning, licensing and property standards during the assessment.
Can I offer more than one property?
Absolutely. We welcome enquiries from portfolio landlords, property companies, developers and investors with multiple suitable properties.
Can I use a mortgaged property?
Potentially, subject to the lender's consent, insurance requirements and the proposed use being permitted under the mortgage terms.
