How long could a void period really cost you?

Most landlords accept the occasional void period as part of the job. But the difference between a property sitting empty for two weeks or two months often comes down to preparation, pricing and timing, not luck.

In our latest blog, we look at:
✔ Why void periods happen
✔ The mistakes that quietly extend them
✔ Why pricing correctly matters from day one
✔ How property presentation affects letting speed
✔ Practical steps to reduce costly gaps between tenancies

A little planning before a tenant moves out can save weeks of lost rental income.

Read our latest blog to discover how landlords can minimise void periods and keep their investments performing efficiently: https://www.sawdyeandharris.co.uk/blog/post-void-periods-why-they-happen-and-how-landlords-can-cut-them-down-1789292646

🌿 Dartmoor and Ashburton in the spotlight 🌿

What a wonderful feature from Condé Nast Condé Nast Traveler, celebrating the wild beauty, ancient legends, independent businesses and exceptional places that make this corner of Devon so special.

We were particularly delighted to see Ashburton described as a “deeply lovely” town, with its historic streets, independent restaurants, antiques shops and thriving arts scene all receiving a well-deserved mention.

For those of us fortunate enough to live and work here, it is a lovely reminder that buying a home in this part of Devon is about so much more than the property itself—it is about embracing an extraordinary way of life.

Why viewing feedback deserves more attention than most sellers give it

After a viewing, it's easy to focus on whether the buyer liked the property or not.

But the real value of feedback isn't in any single comment.

It's in the patterns.

One buyer's opinion may mean very little. When several buyers raise the same point independently, the market is telling you something important.

In our latest blog, we explore:
✔ Why repeated feedback is often the key to unlocking a sale
✔ How to separate opinion from genuine market signals
✔ The difference between presentation issues and property issues
✔ Why ignoring feedback can cause a listing to lose momentum
✔ How sellers can use feedback to improve their chances of securing an offer

The most useful feedback isn't always the easiest to hear, but it can often be the difference between staying on the market and moving forward.

The paperwork sellers leave too late (and why it can cost you a buyer)

Most sellers focus on getting an offer.

The problem is that many sales don't run into difficulty until after the offer has been accepted.

Missing certificates, planning documents, guarantees, leasehold information or paperwork relating to past works can all create delays that frustrate buyers and slow down the legal process.

In a market where buyers have more choice and less patience, small delays can have a much bigger impact than many sellers realise.

In our latest blog, we look at:
✔ The documents buyers and solicitors commonly ask for
✔ Why delays can damage confidence
✔ How missing paperwork affects property chains
✔ What sellers should prepare before going to market
✔ Simple steps that can help keep a sale moving
A little preparation before you list can save weeks of stress later.
