LETTING & ESTATE AGENT
<div>A snap general election can only be a bad thing for the Cornwall property market. Mortgage lending problems, fluctuation in the value of the pound, Brexit, and now a general election all bring uncertainty to the housing market but will it actually effect us here in Cornwall?</div>
London and the South East have always dominated the most expensive properties in the country and, according to Lloyds Bank, Eaton Square in West London's Belgravia district has taken the crown for the most expensive street in England and Wales with an average house price of £16,944,000.
A recent survey by London agent Benham Reeves has revealed that perhaps we are looking at a generation of long term tenants who are choosing to rent rather than buy.
<div>According to a well known insurance comparison website if you own a property in Truro you have just over half a percent chance of being burgled!<br><br><br></div>
<div>With the recent news that a local letting agent here in Truro was forced to cease trading leaving landlords and tenants money unsafe and rents unpaid, we are proud of that fact that we voluntarily agree to be regulated by the Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) </div>
Starting this month we are now offering all our landlords and tenants free access to their tenancy with Martin & Co. This brand new system is accessible online 24 hours a day 7 days a week
Delighted to see this result when I checked Rightmove recently. We have been named as the most successful letting agent in the area this year. According to Rightmove we have let more properties in the local area than any other. The data for Truro and the surrounding area covers all agents on the property portal and shows Martin & Co as the leading agent. Fantastic result for all the team here and we are proud of the success and the service we provide – if your not letting with Martin and Co contact us today!
Martin & Co have been asked to sell this ongoing large multi let property in the centre of Truro. This large mid terraced house is located just off Lemon Street and has been split into five lettings units generating a income of approximately £27,000pa.
<div>As of February 2017 planning permission has been granted by the local council for the construction of almost 3000 new homes in and around Truro. With permission in place building could start tomorrow!</div>
Local news this week has reported that another three people have had to be taken into hospital with suspected Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Over the past three years there have been six deaths due to CO poisoning in Cornwall.
<div>You may have already read in the local news and even on the BBC website that a local agent in Truro has 'ceased' trading leaving many of its landlord clients without rent and tenants without their deposits. Several of these landlords are in the process of taking the agent in question to court and BBC Inside Out South West has spoken to nine tenants and seven landlords who are collectively owed almost £35,000</div>
Property websites Rightmove and Zoopla are always competing for top spot in the portal wars and both keep adding extras to their website to try and gain traction with the general public. One of these tools is the ability to value your property both for rent or for sale. I think the expression is 'a little bit of knowledge is dangerous' - in this case, both of the property portals simply give a value based on the average house price in the area or the average rent price - this is not the house price of your property and I feel can be very misleading.
