With a Housing Association such as ourselves (Derventio Housing Trust - covering East Midlands such as Derbyshire, Staffordshire, parts of Notts, Parts of South West (Swindon) and Warwick, Nuneaton etc) you will receive your property back with tenant damage rectified including redecoration and new carpets in majority of cases, we also replace worktops where damage has occured etc and anything else as needed. We have had some excellent feedback from landlords on returns of their properties. And like you mentioned in one of your earlier comments we are able to give the guaranteed monthly rent for 3 years regardless of voids and with no worries over evictions etc. It works well for landlords who want security and a more hands off approach, so it might be worth trying a housing association next time.
