Fully Managed Lettings in Kent
Fully managed lettings for landlords from the Medway towns to the Channel coast.
Kent's rental demand is shaped by its ports, its high-speed link to London and the growth around Ebbsfleet and the Thames Gateway. Contractors, logistics and port staff, and commuters priced out of the capital all need homes across the county, and much of that demand is for fixed-term, furnished homes rather than a conventional tenancy.
Alali Homes manages properties across Kent for vetted professional occupants. You hand over the keys once, we run the property and look after everyone staying in it, and you follow every month's income in your landlord portal.
Where the demand in Kent comes from
Channel ports and logistics
Dover and the Eurotunnel terminal at Folkestone, together with the freight and logistics operations that serve them, place engineers, drivers and project teams in East Kent for extended periods.
Thames Gateway and Ebbsfleet
The development corridor between Dartford, Gravesend and Ebbsfleet, with its construction programmes and the international station, brings site teams and relocating staff into North Kent.
Medway, Maidstone and Canterbury
The Medway towns, the county town of Maidstone and the universities and hospital in Canterbury are steady sources of professional, clinical and academic occupants on fixed contracts.
Properties that work in Kent
Houses and flats in the Medway towns, Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Dartford and along the high-speed line to St Pancras are the most straightforward for us to keep occupied. Family houses suit contractor teams; flats near a station suit relocating professionals.

We Review & Propose
We’ll assess your property and come back to you with a written income estimate, your income floor and a clear breakdown of how our 15% fee works.

Agreement & Handover
Once terms are agreed, we sign the agreement, arrange any compliance works, and prepare the property for its first occupants. You follow every month’s income in your landlord portal.
What happens next: we confirm the property is the right fit, help bring it to standard where needed, and agree a start date.
No commitment. We'll be in touch to talk it through.
Property management in Kent: common questions
- How much do you charge, and what does it cover?
- One fee covers the full service. We keep your property occupied with vetted working professionals, and handle every changeover in between: check-ins and check-outs, professional cleans and inspections, plus maintenance, compliance tracking and your landlord portal. It is a 15% share of the rent your occupants pay, and the other 85% is paid to you every month with a written statement.
- What is the income floor?
- If your payouts across a quarter come to less than 60% of the long-term market rent for your property, we reduce or waive our fee for that quarter to make up the difference, up to the full value of our fee. The market rent figure and the conditions are agreed in writing before you sign.
- Who will stay in the property?
- Working professionals only. Every occupant goes through our vetting process before they are approved, whether they are relocating for work, on a contract placement, or with a company sending staff to the area. We inspect the property regularly throughout.
- Do you cover coastal Kent, such as Thanet and Dover?
- Yes. The ports and the regeneration along the coast create contractor demand. We assess each property on its own merits and give you a written income estimate if it is a good fit.
