Experts in Legislation
We are members of ARLA Propertymark which means we meet higher industry standards than the law demands. We undertake regular training to ensure we are up to date with best practice and complex legislative changes so we can offer you the best advice. We ensure that your rental property complies with the very latest legislation so you can be assured that we're the experts that are best placed to manage your property and finances. We are also backed by a Client Money Protection scheme provided by PropertyMark which guarantees your money is protected. All of this provides you and tenants complete peace of mind and reassurance.
Knowledge and Experience
As experienced investors ourselves, we have gained a deep understanding of how to get better tenants and therefore better rents too. We systematically ask for feedback from our tenants and thus place great importance on aiming to continually improve what we deliver.
With this knowledge and experience, we apply it to operating to the highest standards in the professional letting market in Crawley, Gatwick. So, there is no one better placed to value, market, let and manage your property. It’s no accident that we’re recognised as the market leaders.
Service levels to suit you
We understand that every landlord has different circumstances, which is why we offer a variety of service options for you to choose from, to suit you and your portfolio best. One of our team will be happy to discuss your requirements and how we can best suit you.
Marketing that works
We can assist you in dressing your property and in taking the most engaging and eye-catching photos. Alongside this, we can also create engaging videos that really show off the properties features. We believe this really sets our properties apart from the rest of the market and many tenants often comment on the quality of our videos being the reason they were attracted to view. You can see what we’re talking about on our properties page.
It’s no wonder our properties spend less time on the market and fetch the best rents!
Accompanied Viewings
Having carefully designed and refurbished a large amount of properties with tenants in mind, we really understand how to recognise and communicate the features and benefits of each house. We listen to what the tenant is looking for and best match them to their criteria. We take the time to ensure prospective tenants feel confident with our service and your property. In doing this, we find tenants are happier and stay for longer.
Tenant selection & Referencing
To make sure we get the very best tenants and create the best possible house dynamic in our HMOs, we are very selective in who we pick. We always think about the other housemates by trying to match similar people. In our experience, putting in effort to do this, means households are better matched and thus tenants tend to stay longer. The benefit to landlords – consistent rent and reduced costs. Every tenant who is accepted gets reference checked. This includes looking at credit history, employment and previous landlord references.
Inventories and Inspections
We use the very latest tech to undertake our inventories, schedule of condition and inspection reports. We regularly inspect all our properties to ensure we maintain the highest standards and it’s also a great way to continue building our relationships with our tenants.
Professional Management Service
Good management takes a considerable amount of time, especially in HMOs. The management of tenants is an area we strongly believe we provide to a very high standard and we have frequently had repeat tenants tell us that they wish to stay in a property managed by VCC Homes rather than go elsewhere, which of course, is a benefit to our clients.
Maintenance
With our proactive approach from the inspections, we usually spot things before they need attention. For the odd things that are unavoidable, we’re quick to respond and we get it done right, every time.
Refurbishment
If you’re purchasing your first investment property, buying an additional one or simply feel like it’s the right time to refurbish your property, we can advise and assist you with anything you need. Get in touch and we can discuss the various services we offer around this.

“VCC Homes are currently managing the letting of our property for us. The service we have received has been second to none, and the tenant feels the same. Oli took some very high quality professional photos at the outset, they wrote up a detailed inventory, got references and dealt with all the legal documents, while we just had to sign a few things, and literally do nothing else.
Now 6 months down the line, we can honestly say it has been a first class experience. We are paid on time every month without fail, we receive a detailed Landlord Statement, and we always get a prompt response when we have any queries. Nothing is too much trouble.
It’s such peace of mind knowing that the property is in good hands, and we don’t have to worry about anything. Their rates are highly competitive. We would definitely recommend VCC Homes to anyone who is considering letting out a property.”
“If you want the job done properly you can’t do better the work with Alicia of VCC Homes. Having been both Landlord and tenant I know these guys are the real thing. Keep up the good work.”
“VCC Homes are every professional and helpful, I would definitely recommend!”
