Genie Homes

Genie Homes is a property firm specializing in residential sales and lettings, and recognized as Birmingham's largest specialist in Houses of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) management. The company was founded in 2016 by Sue, Dave, and John, who met while independently active in Birmingham's property market. They combined over 60 years of collective lettings experience to establish the firm. Since its inception, Genie Homes has experienced rapid growth, developing into a substantial team and becoming one of the largest lettings branches in the West Midlands.

Operating as LGI Asset Management LTD T/A Genie Homes, the company is registered in the United Kingdom under company number 08925103, with its registered address at 1668 Bristol Rd South, Rednal, Birmingham, B45 9TY. Its VAT number is 308 9714 80. Genie Homes is a member of the Property Redress Scheme, adhering to its Code of Practice for Residential Estate Agents. The firm prioritizes expertise across all types of lettings, managing a diverse portfolio that includes single let properties, various HMOs, social housing leases, and company leases.

This comprehensive management approach underscores the company's broad engagement in the lettings market. The founders contribute extensive individual expertise. Sue, a serial property investor with over 40 properties acquired across 30 years, offers a deep understanding of landlord expectations regarding service and communication. She guides investors and landlords, having been instrumental in selling investment properties to numerous clients.

Dave, an investor, mentor, and entrepreneur, advocates for robust systems and excels in property deal negotiation. He brings over twenty-five years of experience in UK property investment, lettings, and business management, also serving as an expert coach for investors. John, an experienced professional in marketing, lettings, sales, and negotiation, previously managed his own marketing company in Birmingham. His extensive background in the lettings industry encompasses property sourcing, project management, renovation, and local market knowledge, having facilitated the sale of hundreds of properties to investors globally.

Genie Homes distinguishes itself from traditional High Street estate agents through its understanding of the complexities inherent in managing or selling tenanted properties, including HMOs. The company is proficient in the specific compliance and regulation issues relevant to these property types. This specialized knowledge and operational framework enable Genie Homes to assist clients in maximizing potential rental income or sale prices for their investments. The firm maintains a unique market position, consistently offering assistance and advice.

A foundational aspect of the company's philosophy is that its team members are property investors themselves, ensuring client properties receive the same level of care as their own investments. The company provides comprehensive property sales and lettings services from its bases in Birmingham and the Black Country, with a team located in Longbridge. For sales, Genie Homes applies its expertise within the Birmingham property sector to ensure transactions are as straightforward as possible. In lettings, the firm supports property owners in expanding their portfolios.

Managed property types include single rooms, houses, and blocks of flats. For landlords, Genie Homes aims to provide informed advice, comprehensive support (from letting and rent collection to maintenance and cleaning), and successful letting to the professional market, including a "totally hands off package" for portfolio management. Tenants benefit from high-quality accommodation, often designed in-house, and a streamlined lettings process with efficient applications for quick move-ins. Landlords also access Property File for management support.
