More Tenancies to Manage

Thankfully, recently we have received a considerable amount of new Management of Tenancy Instructions.

Clients are becoming much more aware of a better use of their Time, making sure through professionals, all new Rules and Regulations are fully complied with (avoiding expensive mistakes and fines!), wanting higher levels of Tenant satisfaction leading to longer Tenancies and less expensive voids, consistent, quick, and good value Repairs and spot-on advice as to when and how best to achieve Market Rent Increases!

With more and more Properties requiring a Selective License an Agent such as ours needs to be fully aware of Councils standards and expectations, even where a Property in itself does not require a Licence!

Subdued Property Market!

Certainly, in the run up to the 28th October 2026 budget, the Term “Subdued” to describe the condition of the Market is going to be very well used!

Drawing on our over 40 years Experience/Expertise the following points come very firmly to mind!

Don’t Sell unless you absolutely have to, as it certainly is a Buyer’s Market and your realisation will be Very suppressed.

Price will be vital to attract interest and a Bona Fide Purchaser.

Necessary Essential Repairs still may have to be attended to in order to attract your Buyer.

The Letting Price is also very important to attract the right Calibre Tenants and also the condition of the Property overall. If either overpriced or in a poor condition will put any dates to achieve a new tenancy very much back!

For Let properties, do bear in mind record Rents are being achieved and are forecast to increase accordingly.

Responsibilities as a Landlord have to be completed with (Legal or Non-Legal), but they will be worth it!

Tenancy Lengths have increased.

A good Tenant will agree to reasonable Market Rent increase suggestions, but they must be positively Looked after and not taken for granted, even if this incurs some Expense.

Additionally, we are always available to undertake for you, if you Self-Manage, a Free Compliance check, if you contact us!

We must know what you need to be Assured of!

A) Accurate Letting Valuation

Suggesting the correct Rent is a fine balance between maximising returns and staying competitive in the market. We conduct detailed analysis, comparing your property with similar ones to determine the correct figure. Location, amenities and recent trends are borne in mind. This is to attract High Quality Tenants quickly avoiding prolonged vacancy periods. Correct valuation generates steady income and establishes long-term tenant satisfaction.

B) property marketing expertise

Standing out is a key to securing Tenants quickly. We create impactful listings to attract maximum attention. Photography is used to highlight a Property’s best features; engaging descriptions are written. Virtual tours are provided. This ensures the correct audience see your property to maximise Tenant interest and minimise voids.

C) Expert Tenant Screening

To secure the right Tenant every time, for the smooth management of the tenancy and maximisation of outcome, technology and experience are used in combination to include Credit Checks, references from Employers and Landlords. A potential Tenant is always being assessed for reliability and suitability to ensure stability and success every time.

Local Markets Recent Lets

Recently we Let a One Bedroom Flat in South Harrow HA2 for £1,375.00 pcm, a One Bedroom Maisonette in Greenford UB6 for £1,495.00 pcm, a Three Bedroom Maisonette in Greenford UB6 for £2,000.00 pcm, a Four Bedroom House in Greenford UB6 for £2,350.00 pcm, and a Four Bedroom House in Chiswick for £4,150.00 pcm.

All these Properties were very well presented, and their Offer Rents had to be very “currently” realistic. Demand is still very strong, and our most important task is to find every time the Best possible Tenants!

On the Investment side, currently, a Well Motivated Vendor may be able to afford you a marvellous opportunity to capitalise on exceptionally high record Rents, which are increasing again!

We can always search for Clients for appropriate Properties to purchase to either commence their Investment Portfolio or add to it! We have over 40 years’ Experience to assist us in all we do!

A Couple of Points!

Very recently whilst in Europe a new Friend asked me if many Landlords in England were selling their Properties because of recent legal changes.

I replied that the Experienced, Wise and Mature ones were certainly not!

They knew the increasing value of their Properties both Income and Value wise!

Rents have never been so high and generally 5 – 10% yearly Growth Increases would return despite correct current turbulence!

One Client a few years ago very wisely summed it up, “if the rules change, you have to accept it and change with a professional good heart and spirit whilst making sure of your return.”

The high current and consistent Rents will reward you!

Combined with this is a Letting / Managing Agents most important task of finding for every property only First Class Tenants, who pay promptly, have very high housekeeping standards, and are responsible, appreciative, and easy to communicate with!

Worldwide, I have found in over 40 years of Experience, considerable amounts of Hard Working people wanting to and choosing to invest in Property, and provide very decent Accommodation and Services to their appreciative Tenants!

Landlords Preparing for Success!

If a Landlord is to be very successful still in the Residential Market, we would always very strongly suggest a Property to be within a Fifteen Minute walk at most, of a Train Station, have Spacious Good Ordered Rooms (particularly the Bedrooms), Kitchen and Bathrooms should be of a Contemporary Fashion and Spotlessly Clean.

Ideally Double Glazed and a Modern Central Heating System, ideally Gas, should be available. Further, Off Street Parking is always a big advantage as could be any Outside Space.

If you have all the above there is no reason why your property won’t be Let to First Class Tenants, or why they won’t want to continue Residing there and, in both cases, pay at appropriate intervals, an increase to Market Rates, which a Tribunal now won’t object to provided the Renters Rights Act procedure has been complied with Fully.

Apologies if we are stating the obvious, but we thought it worth repeating!

Post New Prime Minister Markets!

Obviously it is far too early to draw any substantial conclusions, we believe.

The Sales Market is very soft, Mortgage Rates are increasing. There is still considerable world uncertainly and overall a hugh lack of confidence. Properties have to be priced very carefully to attract interest, and should be presented as well as is possible to open doors!

We receive considerable Valuation requests constantly and only prefer to offer a figure after a Brief Visit, so we can undertake the request seriously, properly, and fully.

The Letting Market is still very busy. Pricing is also very important, and so too are presentation levels. As Rents are still a record highs, Tenants naturally are more discerning than ever.

For every Letting property, we receive 40 or 50 enquiries at least, and our skill and value each time is finding the appropriate Special Tenants.

Every Tenant is Referenced and Verified by our long standing Partner specialist, so that Landlord and Work References are 100% reliable and the Credit Check incredibly thorough.

A the end of the process a Two – Four page report is available for every Applicant.

We do thoroughly look after our Tenants which results in Long Tenancies and easier acceptance of proposed Rent increases once suggested.

Repairs always are quickly and impeccably attended to.

Continuous Good Will is earnt and maintained!

We have over 40 years experience and always consistently put it to good use, we humbly feel.

Dear Landlords,

The Lettings Market is still very strong.

We are always inundated with Applicant requests every time we Offer a Property.

More than ever, the potential excellent Tenant must only be sought, who will make the Tenancy a very positive one, to pay Rent Promptly, take Very High care of a Property, and be conscientious enough to promptly report any issues to be repaired, and to accept Rent Increases.

The most recent Legislation has introduced a system to apply for Market Rent increases, which will be upheld if the Application is properly made.

Properties always need to be well presented at least, to attract the best potential Tenants, who, if wisely and thoughtfully managed, will remain at the Property for a considerable period.

We are finding the Market to be better than ever, but one has to be Positive and Proactive always to achieve this.

With the correct procedures in place and positive mentality, we are finding that keeping this status, and consciously working to improving it, to be very rewarding.
