Tenant referencing

A good reference isn’t an expense. It’s an investment.

In business, success requires a close eye to be kept on income and expenditure. It’s no different in property rental, and in a climate of tax changes, increasing regulation and the knock-on effects of the agency fees ban, cutting unnecessary expenditure makes sense. It is easy, therefore, to see why some landlords are choosing a […]

Do landlords need to be legal experts?

Do landlords need to be legal experts?

Let’s assume you’re a landlord and that you haven’t spent years with your head in books, studying cases and rulings. You don’t handle legal matters in an office or a courtroom and you don’t have one of those horsehair wigs. That’s fine. Or at least it is until a court case throws our industry into […]

Look sharp – it’s 2019

This could be a very interesting year for the property rental sector. There’s a biggish event taking place towards the end of March which could have a major long-term impact on the economy, property prices and inflation. Equally, it could be a bit of a storm in a teacup and it will be a case […]

Make small changes now for real benefits in 2019

Many see the period between Christmas and the New Year as a time for recovery. Half the country is on extended leave, nursing hangovers or counting the days ‘til the kids go back to school.

Last week, on top of everything else that we’re facing, MPs called for […]

Over the last few days, the cash-strapped online agency Emoov has been trying to find a buyer. Yesterday, it announced its attempts had been unsuccessful and appointed administrators.

Know your onions - tenant referencing without tears.

Know your onions – tenant referencing without tears.

We’re all human. We put up with things because familiarity is comfortable. Even though somethings may not be working for us, we carry on using it. We tolerate the shortfalls and live with the frustration. We don’t grow, we don’t make progress.

The best lettings agents don’t let reasons become excuses

The business of operating a lettings agency is already regulated in Wales and Scotland. No doubt it won’t be long before England follows suit – the fees ban, and a raft of conditions are on the way. Although many won’t welcome the changes, they will, at least, level the playing field. They’ll give every agency […]
