Now is the time TO LET!

...

"Property owners with homes to let are in a strong position to capitalise on the current housing market” says Barbara Yemm Heywoods Lettings Manager.

We can report that there has been a sharp rise in business within our dedicated residential lettings department as demand grows for rental properties and new and existing landlords seek out our company's specialist services.

“The instability we're seeing in the property market at the moment means that many people are choosing to rent”, explains Barbara Yemm, head of lettings for Heywoods, “perhaps because they're saving for a mortgage; worried about rises in lending rates or have found a buyer for their property and are still looking for their next new home to move into, so would rather live in short term rental accommodation than risk losing a sale. Renting can be a very practical stop gap”.

All of which is good news for people with a property with rental potential on their hands – and it's not just professional landlords or newcomers to the buy-to-let market who stand to gain. “Take a situation where a homeowner needs to relocate but is finding their property slow to sell or wants to wait for the market to improve before putting it up for sale”, explains Barbara. “The ideal solution is to let that property. Renting out your home can also a good way for, say, retired people to finance travel and be assured of a place to come home to”.

With highly qualified and knowledgeable team on board, we are well placed to provide the advice and support necessary for a trouble free tenancy. As Barbara says, “home owners new to the idea of letting their property may find it daunting at first, and that's where we come in”.

We offer two distinct levels of service:

let only,

where it makes full use of its high profile marketing resources that include a state of the art website to find a suitable tenant; arranges and accompanies viewings; carries out credit and reference checks; prepares a tenancy agreement and inventory and collects the first month's rent plus deposit in advance before handing responsibility back to the landlord; and

a full management service.

Customers who opt for the latter landlords can relax in the knowledge that Heywood's professionals are collecting rent, making regular checks on their property, issuing reports and carrying out maintenance while they reap the financial and practical benefits”.
