The Maidenhead team

The Franchisees Jayne & Mike have been trading for 8 years in the letting industry.  They have lived in the area for many years and have built up valuable local knowledge in this time.  They are proud of the reputation they have built in the area and have long standing relationships with landlords and tenants who come back to them when they want to move house. They also have strong links with the local community including the Chamber of Commerce & various other organizations supporting the area.

 

The office team is made up of seven full and part time staff with a wealth of local knowledge.  Due to our success we have taken on Judy as our full time Property Manager and Kirsty as Letting Negotiator. The team has benefited from the fresh approach Kirsty takes when dealing with tenants, whilst keeping landlords in the loop with informed feedback.  She focuses heavily on making sure both tenant and landlord get the result they are looking for, and spends time discussing which course of action should be taken with the client.

NEWS AFFECTING OUR AREA

 

The buy-to-let market has seen further recovery in the third quarter, according to new figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders (CML).

Overall, an impressive £2.8 billion has been borrowed by buy-to-let landlords over the quarter, which is 33 per cent higher than the amount lent a year before.

The value of mortgages lent to landlords dropped to a record low in the second quarter of 2009 when only £1.9 billion was borrowed. However, this total has been steadily increasing ever since.

 

CML says that the rise in buy-to-let mortgage lending is down to the ongoing increasing demand for rental property, which is a fall out from the rise in house prices. The high prices and tight mortgage lending restrictions for first-time buyers are leading more young people to rent for longer.

The director of the CML, Michael Coogan, says he expects the trend for more buy-to-let mortgage lending to continue: "We would expect buy-to-let demand to pick up further if current rising rental trends continue and house prices remain broadly stable."

 

Anyone looking borrowing a buy-to-let mortgage needs to ensure they take buy-to-let property insurance, which will cover them if damage is caused to their rental property or if any of their own belongings are stolen from a property they rent out to tenants.
