Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you're a landlord, investor, housing provider or potential partner, we've answered some of the questions we're asked most often about working with DealHaus.
ABOUT DEALHAUS
Who we are, what we do and how we bring property investment and social housing together
We're a property business that brings landlords, investors and housing providers together to create opportunities that make commercial sense and help meet real housing needs. We help landlords lease suitable properties, source investment opportunities for buyers and work with housing partners to bring more homes into social housing.
We mainly look for houses with three to six bedrooms, although we're happy to consider other properties. We assess each opportunity based on its location, layout, condition, costs and potential use. We're interested in properties available to lease as well as those for sale, including off-market and refurbishment opportunities.
We work across Greater Manchester, Merseyside, the North East, Yorkshire and parts of North Wales, with opportunities in other areas considered where there is suitable demand. Our search areas are guided by the needs of our housing partners and investors, so please get in touch if you've found something you think might be a good fit.
FOR LANDLORDS
Thinking about leasing your property to DealHaus? Here's how our Secure Social Lease works, from rental payments and agreement terms to who will be living in your property.
Our Secure Social Lease offers landlords an alternative to traditional letting. We agree the rent, term and responsibilities upfront and work with our housing partners to provide suitable accommodation for people who need it. We'll explain the proposed arrangement clearly before you make any commitment.
We agree a fixed rental amount rather than calculating your rent according to how many rooms are occupied each month. The payment terms, start date and any agreed staged payments will be set out in your agreement.
We typically look for longer-term arrangements of three to five years, depending on the property and housing requirements. We'll discuss the proposed term, notice periods and any available break clauses before you commit.
We work with housing partners who provide accommodation for people with specific housing and support needs. The residents will depend on the property and the housing programme it's being used for. Our partners assess suitability and arrange placements in line with their processes.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Your property is a valuable asset, and we understand how important it is to look after it. Here's what you need to know about management, maintenance and responsibilities.
We work with our housing management partners to coordinate regular property checks, maintenance and the day-to-day management arrangements. You'll know who is responsible for what, including repairs, compliance and property inspections, before signing. We agree the rent, term and responsibilities upfront and work with our housing partners to provide suitable accommodation for people who need it. We'll explain the proposed arrangement clearly before you make any commitment.
Our management approach includes regular property checks to help identify issues early. Responsibility for damage and repairs depends on the agreed terms and the circumstances involved. We'll explain the arrangements, including any relevant insurance requirements, before proceeding.
Yes. Properties must meet the relevant safety, licensing and compliance requirements before they can be used. We'll assess your property, identify any work or documentation required and explain what needs to happen before it can go live.
A sale may be possible, but it will depend on the agreement and the buyer's intentions. If you're considering selling in the future, tell us early so we can discuss how that might work alongside the proposed housing arrangement.
FOR INVESTORS
From finding the right opportunities to understanding the numbers, here's how we help investors make informed decisions and build their property portfolios.
We look for properties that offer good investment potential, particularly those that could provide accommodation through social housing. Our focus is on finding opportunities where the purchase price, property condition, rental potential and longer-term options make commercial sense.
Social housing is our main focus, but we also recognise that a good property can offer opportunities beyond that. We assess each property on its own merits, considering its investment potential, alternative uses and longer-term flexibility. Our priority is finding opportunities that make good commercial sense.
Yes. When you purchase an investment property sourced through DealHaus, you own it personally or through your chosen ownership structure. We help you find and assess opportunities, but the property and final purchase decision are yours.
Absolutely. Our Secure Social Lease model is at the heart of what we do, and we actively source investment properties with the intention of leasing them ourselves. We assess each property for suitability, commercial viability and housing demand, with the aim of offering investors a long-term rental arrangement through DealHaus. All leases are subject to property compliance, housing partner approval and agreed terms.
Our sourcing fees depend on the service and opportunity involved. We'll explain our fees, what's included and when payment is due before you agree to work with us.
FOR INTRODUCERS
Know a landlord or spotted a promising property for sale? Find out how to introduce opportunities, work with our team and potentially earn referral fees.
Absolutely! We're interested in both. Whether you know a landlord looking for a longer-term letting arrangement or have spotted a property that could make a good investment, we'd love to hear about it.
Yes. We're always happy to build relationships with agents, sourcers and property professionals who come across suitable opportunities. We're particularly interested in off-market properties, refurbishment opportunities and landlords exploring alternative letting arrangements.
Referral fees may be available for successful introductions, depending on the opportunity and your role. Any fees and conditions are agreed directly with you before proceeding, and arrangements must meet applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We assess each property on its own merits, considering its investment potential, alternative uses and longer-term flexibility. Our priority is finding opportunities that make good commercial sense.
Simply visit our Referrals page and share what you know. A property address, listing link or a little background on the opportunity is enough to get us started. We'll review the details and let you know if it's something we'd like to explore.
HOUSING PROVIDERS
We work with housing providers to identify suitable homes that meet their accommodation needs. Here's how we can work together and what we need to get started
We work with housing organisations to identify suitable properties that could help meet their accommodation needs. By understanding what you're looking for, we can help connect you with opportunities from our landlord relationships, investor network and property sourcing activities.
Yes. We can work to a property brief covering location, bedroom numbers, layout, accessibility, condition and other requirements. The more we understand about your accommodation needs, the better we can focus our search.
We work with experienced housing management and support partners rather than delivering every service ourselves. The roles and responsibilities of each organisation depend on the arrangement, and we'll agree these clearly before a property is brought into use.
A good starting point is the areas you cover, the type of accommodation you need, your preferred property sizes and any specific requirements. It's also helpful to understand your funding arrangements, expected rental rates and how you assess and approve properties. From there, we can explore whether there's an opportunity to work together.
