A Guide to Renting in Oaks – Quality You Can Expect From the Start
The Difference Between BTR & Private Rentals
If you’re looking to relocate the place you call home, understanding the key differences between the build-to-rent (BTR) model and traditional private rentals is imperative in making an informed decision. Let’s start by taking a look at two of the key areas in how Oaks Canopy by Amalgamated Property Group and Base Developments differs from private rentals and offers an elevated living experience through superior home standards and personalised services.
Private Rentals:
- Typically managed by individual landlords, inconsistent service, home standards and quality of living is often experienced, leaving the tenant feeling that the landlord’s interests are the top priority.
- Maintenance and service standards can vary widely based on the standards of the individual property manager and the landlord, sometimes resulting in issues from previous tenants not being rectified, delayed repairs and subpar living conditions. Many tenants don’t report all issues due to concern of rent increases or non-renewals.
Oaks Canopy:
- Managed long-term by the landlord with a professional team physically on the ground which allows them to focus on the building, ensuring consistent and high-quality service. Tenant comfort and maintenance of the property is in the landlord’s best interests, so no lengthy waits for a simple request such as fixing a broken light.
- Emphasises hospitality-like service, proactive maintenance, and superior living conditions. Properties are purpose-built for renting with ease of maintenance and tenant satisfaction as the key management priorities.
