Central Housing group manages my flat for last almost 4 years now.They are a very good team, and offer good friendly service and are prompt in their turnaround times and quite professional in their dealings.Although the rent that they offer is slightly lower than the private agents offer however, the rent is guaranteed and there are no void periods w/o rental income.Overall I am quite happy with my decision to give my property to Central Housing group to manage it and I am going to extend my contract with them.I highly recommend going with Central Housing Group for letting any property.

I have a rental property with Central Housing for well over a decade now and am going to stay with them for the foreseeable future as it's the most hassle free and peace of mind way to rent the property and have it fully managed.There is a fantastic team in the background, managing the property and looking after the condition of the property, and they have their own contractors whom they use for all aspects of repairs needed which are generally more cost effective than going private.All the worry of when landlord certificates or EICR's are needed etc are taken away as the team at Central Housing are on top of it.Whilst the rent received may be a little below market rates, once you have saved your monthly agents commission, the cost of having the property sitting empty at odd periods and all the other time and effort spent on preparing new tenancies, check-ins, check-outs etc. it's quite simply a no-brainer.Thanks and well-done Romesh, Jo, Maria and all for providing a great hassle-free letting service.

Romesh and his team have been managing my properties for the past four years, and their service has been nothing short of outstanding. They handle every aspect of property management with efficiency and professionalism, which has saved me an immense amount of time and stress. Their responsiveness is exceptional—both to me and my tenants—and they consistently resolve maintenance issues promptly and with great care. I couldn't be more pleased with the peace of mind they've provided.

Central Housing Group continue to provide an exceptional service for me as a landlord. As landlord responsibilities continue to grow, CHG effectively "take the strain", including with more complex issues such as Licensing Schemes, legislation requirements, refurbishment, annual checks and much more. I have been with them now for many years and their professional standards remain consistent, which given the many changes in the rental sector, is impressive indeed.

met romesh recently, re my friends possible rental house to council. though repairs and modernisation to house greatly excelled possible rental value, romesh was happy to sit with us for 1 hour and share his knowledge of the rental market, though there was no profit in it for him.cant reccomend him enough wish i had had the good fortune to meet him, when i had to decide what to do about a property left to me by parents, i would be a lot better off now

He helped me in every aspect from preparing the flat for rental, finding contractors to do the work, etc..Being a remote landlord was challenging but not anymore so thanks again for the great service.

I have had occasion to deal with Romesh in the past, on behalf of my client, and he was always extremely helpful. However, on this occasion, I dealt with him directly and I was amazed at the level of service he offered. He went over and above the call of duty to deal with the issue at hand. I was honestly quite stunned at his selflessness. It was a breath of fresh air. Romesh isa rare breed and I am very grateful to him.

We find working with the Central Housing Group to be a great experience. Communication is done professionally and on time and they work hard to ensure that as a Landlord I can focus on other things while they ensure payments are on time and the tenants are also comfortable. So its a great experience and very good choice.

We have been with Central Housing Group for over 15 years. What can I say they make letting so easy. Professional, friendly and knowledgeable staff along with good guaranteed rents, reasonable management fees and other servicing costs, it's easy to rent! Any issues that arise are dealt with immediately and effectively protecting the tenant as well as the landlord. It's an absolute pleasure doing business with them.

We have worked with closely with Central Housing Group, their tenants & landlords in maintaining trees for some of their managed properties. They are a well-run company that takes great care of properties under their management. I am confident that using their ‘Guaranteed Rent’ scheme will prove to be an excellent choice for any prospective landlord to help avoid the considerable risks of having tenants default on rent and paying legal costs to regain possession of their properties.

I have used Central Housing Group for two years now. From the initial meeting to now they have proved to be an excellent professional and efficient company. Rent is paid monthly on time no hassle with tenants no sleepness nights, all problems are solved by your assigned property manager. In my case Elena. She is professional understanding and very good at her job. It really is a no brainer use CHG and your life will be so much easier.
