November Review

November is traditionally a month where tenants and landlords take a breather and we would expect demand by tenants for rental properties to reduce. This has been the case in some of the smaller towns and villages, while the larger towns and cities have continued marching on. Compared to last year though in all, bar a very few locations, demand is growing at double digit rates. New for you, we now have a Tax Advice and News section on our website.

Government Backed Deposit Schemes and Legal Obligations

It has been more than 4 years since the introduction of tenancy deposit protection in England & Wales and even now Landlords are still getting to grips with it. Landlords are legally obliged to use officially backed deposit schemes, if they are not the penalties can be severe. For more information please click here… In addition, Scotland is looking forward to the introduction of Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme. For more information please click here.

Are All Your Properties Rented Out For Christmas?

The next six weeks are known as one of the busier periods in the Landlords calendar. People want to have moved in to their new home before Christmas and then after even more want to move out. Not the relaxing enjoyable time that you want at this time of year. We would like to offer a relaxing few months by finding and moving in tenants before Christmas and managing your properties in to the New Year.

To find tenants we will be offering them up to 30% off our administration fees and to manage your property we are offering you a festive voucher of £75 to redeem against property management charges. Of course that is for any new properties brought to us by you, to bring a little festive cheer to ourselves as well... Call us now on 01782 518705 for a free rental appraisal and to claim your voucher (valid until January 31st 2012), or E-mail us on biddulph@martinco.com
