Currently in the UK, 98% of the 5.5 million private rental homes are owned by individual private buy-to-let landlords. These are of variable asset quality and often provide poor management service levels. 25% of all UK property stock is considered ‘non decent standard’ and as a result over 15% of UK carbon emissions are from the UK’s residential property base. G2M is not a developer, but is a volume aggregator of existing property assets, aiming to provide institutional access to this fragmented, diversified and geographically spread asset base. In order to do this, G2M is pioneering the UK-wide regeneration of residential properties and has an unrelenting focus on improving home energy performance delivering, higher quality, more economic homes to rent combined with best-in-class management service levels. G2M’s operations, under the trading name of Habodel, are truly unique in the UK and will offer the ability to collect and analyse resident data on a large scale to revolutionise the PRS market, not only improving home and living standards for the average UK renter, but also providing secure and robust investment income for institutions and assisting the UK in meeting its carbon reduction targets.Working Hours :Monday – Friday, 7 hours 30 minutes per working day, excluding lunch and day release for one daySkills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Customer care skills,Problem solving skills,Administrative skills,Number skills,Team working,Creative,Initiative,Non judgemental,Patience ....Read more...
