Making a positive difference whilst saving money on fees | Why you should rent your property to refugees

Emily and her partner own a five-bedroom house in Bristol and have been renting with ACH for over five years.

Emily came across ACH when looking to rent their newly bought property. They knew they wanted to do something to support refugees in the community and were aware of the need for houses.

ACH has been able to help Emily save time and money, managing the property on their behalf and dealing with maintenance requests.

"We know that our investment is making a positive difference and we save money on fees compared to if we rented with other agencies. We would absolutely recommend working with ACH!"

Why did you decide to rent with ACH? 

We knew we wanted to do something to support refugees in our community. We met with Fuad (ACH’s CEO) prior to buying the house, he talked about the housing and wrap around support ACH offer to refugees - we were really impressed with the organisation.

Fuad also told us about the support ACH can offer to their landlords. We hadn’t had a rental property before so it was the first time doing something like this.

How has your rental experience been? 

ACH is brilliant, they manage all the day to day running of the house (at no cost!).

They have their own maintenance team which means any issues are addressed really quickly, which is great for the tenants and gives us peace of mind. They ensure all landlord safety checks are up to date and they guarantee to return the house to us in its original condition at the end of the tenancy.

We know that our investment is making a positive difference and we save money on fees compared to if we rented with other agencies. We would absolutely recommend working with ACH!

In one sentence; “It’s a win, win situation”
