Stock markets have taken a slow and steady but consistent battering this year as inflation spirals to heights last seen in four decades ago. High levels of inflation and the interest rate hikes that are central banks’ main tool to control it are not good for equities, especially high growth compan...

It's been more than two years since the pandemic began, bringing with it some pretty big shifts in the housing market.

New figures have revealed that, in the past year, the number of chain-free properties sold has increased by a huge 29%.

A total of £28.8 billion was spent on chain-free purchases in the last 12 months. This is £8.7 billion, or 43% higher than the previous year and is reflected across every region, with increases in both the quantity and value of transactions.

It is easy to see the appeal of a chain-free purchase. The key benefit is that there is a much smaller chance of a sale being delayed or falling through. Statistics indicate that a chain-free transaction takes, on average, 60% less time to complete than when a property is in a chain.

The great news for sellers is that it seems homebuyers may be willing to pay a premium for a house that is not part of a chain.

If you are thinking of selling your home, now is a great time to get a valuation.

Shortage of rental properties so extreme tenants are refusing to leave?

The shortage of rental properties is so extreme that in some cases tenants are refusing to leave properties because they have nowhere to move to.

I’m keen to talk to landlords who are being affected by this.

Are you having problems getting a property back because your tenants cannot find anywhere else to rent?

How to Choose a Letting Agent:

7 Questions to Ask:

Choosing the right letting agent is an important decision. Your property is a valuable asset and entrusting someone else to manage it for you isn’t something to be taken lightly.

Working with an expert letting agent can help save you time and even money. Plus, you can rest assured that you’re managing your property in the right way and leaving yourself less open to risk.

If you’re thinking about working with a letting agent, here are our tips on how to choose a letting agent and the best questions to ask them before you commit.

1. Are You Regulated?
One of the first things you need to check when speaking to a potential letting agent is whether they are registered to work in the UK. All letting agents must be part of a government-approved letting agency redress scheme.

Working with an unregistered letting agent can result in fines for landlords, so it’s always best to check.

2. Are You Part of a Client Money Protection Scheme?
Just like the previous question, you also want to ensure the agency is part of a client money protection scheme – particularly if they will be handling tenancy deposits and dealing with rent collection.

3. What Are Your Fees?
Of course, asking about fees is a given. But some letting agent fees are hidden in the fine print and may only crop up in certain situations.

For example, some letting agents charge a commission if you want to sell your property to a tenant in the future (since they introduced you and are therefore responsible for the sale).

When inquiring about fees, make sure you ask about all charges you could be liable to pay – not just the standard stuff.

4. What Marketing Strategies Do You Use?
A good letting agent is always on the hunt for new ways to market their properties. Depending on who your target market is, modern forms of marketing (like blogging and social media) can be highly desirable.

Make sure you ask how your letting agent will market your property to see if it’s the right fit for you.

5. Do You Know the Local Area?
Naturally, having a local letting agent has its benefits. Someone that knows the area well can market your property to potential tenants much more effectively.

Quiz the person you speak to about what’s nearby and ask to see their published local area guides.

6. How Long Does it Take to Fill Vacancies?
Every landlord wants to fill voids as quickly as possible. And finding a good tenant usually takes time.

Regardless, a good letting agent will have the facts on the average time it takes them to fill vacancies, so make sure you ask for the figures.

7. What Are Your Opening Hours?
When your letting agent is available to speak to you is important. You need someone that can work around your lifestyle and be ready to answer your questions when you have time to speak.

While most letting agents in a local area have standard opening hours, some may be open or available out of hours, too.
