The term “Turn-key Service” describes the gap or void period between handing keys from one occupier to another.  This can be from buying a property to renting it out, or from taking possession back of your property from one tenant and handing possession to another.  It usually happens simultaneously or as quickly as possible in order to minimise the void and maximise the revenue.  This is a service that Austin D’arcy provides to investment landlords, if circumstances allow.

For instance:

If you are using our acquisition service or are buying a new investment property, which Austin D’arcy will be lettings out for you, we will endeavour to get the new tenancy commencing as close to your sale completion day as possible.

If you are purchasing through another London agency, it will depend on whether they allow lettings viewings to take place between the exchange of contracts and completion, so that we are able to line up a tenant for you.  It will also depend on how much work is required to be carried out on the property you are buying before a tenant can move in.
