๐Ÿถ๐Ÿฑ Should landlords allow pets?
For many tenants, their pet is part of the family โ€” so finding a suitable rental property can be a real challenge.
For landlords, allowing pets can open up a wider pool of potential tenants, but there are also things to consider.
๐Ÿ  Is the property suitable? ๐Ÿพ Is the pet suitable for the property? ๐Ÿค What about other tenants? ๐Ÿ”ง What happens if there is damage? ๐Ÿ“‹ Are there insurance or freeholder restrictions?
This becomes particularly important with HMOs and shared houses, where several tenants are sharing communal spaces.
With the rules around pets in private rented properties changing, landlords need to understand their responsibilities and consider each request properly.
We've written a new blog looking at letting to pets, the potential benefits for landlords and the practical considerations to think about.
๐Ÿพ Could being pet-friendly actually help your property stand out?

๐Ÿ  How do you maximise rent when the HMO market slows down?
When there are more rooms available and tenants have more choice, simply reducing the rent isn't always the answer.
Instead, it's worth looking at what you can do to make your property stand out.
๐Ÿ”Ž Research your local competition ๐Ÿ  Exceed competitors' standards โœจ Focus on quality โšก Improve energy efficiency ๐Ÿ‘€ Get the first impression right โž• Add value where it matters ๐Ÿค And most importantly โ€” keep good tenants happy
In an HMO, tenant retention is particularly important. Every empty room means lost rent, along with the time and cost involved in finding someone new.
Good maintenance, communication, well-managed communal areas and a property that tenants actually enjoy living in can all help encourage people to stay.
We've written a new blog looking at how landlords can maximise rents in a slower HMO market without simply competing on price.

๐Ÿ  Why are neighbours important in property development?

When we think about property development, we usually focus on the property itself โ€” the numbers, the location, planning and the potential return.
But thereโ€™s another important part that can sometimes be overlooked:
The neighbours.

Whether you're developing a property, refurbishing it or running a shared house, the people living around you matter.

Good communication can help prevent problems, especially when you're carrying out works that may cause noise, deliveries or disruption.

And once the property is occupied, good management matters too. Things like rubbish, parking, communal areas and responding quickly to concerns can make a big difference.
For landlords and developers, being a good neighbour isn't about giving up your plans. It's about listening, communicating and managing your property responsibly.

We've written a new blog looking at why neighbours matter in property development โ€” and why being a good neighbour can actually be good business.

๐Ÿ  August Property Update

Itโ€™s been another busy month, and weโ€™re getting very close to filling the five houses we took on back in February.

One of the biggest lessons for us has been how important it is to get people through the door for their viewing. We now remind prospective tenants twice about their appointment, which has made a real difference to reducing no-shows.
But our support doesn't stop when someone moves in.

We help tenants through the HomeLet application process, answer questions and make sure they know we're there to help once they're in the property.

Our TMG houses have had a little bit of tenant churn, which is part of managing shared houses, but we're now down to just one room left to fill.

The new landlord property is progressing well too, and the agreement is now in place.
I've also been helping a landlord who isn't based locally. We're keeping an eye on his property and providing that local support when he needs it.

And finally, we're selling our Tweedy Road flat, with the plan to reinvest the capital into our HMO and shared property portfolio.

So lots happening behind the scenes!

If you're a landlord in Gillingham, Medway or the surrounding area and need someone local to help look after your property, get in touch.

๐Ÿ  A quick property update!
Itโ€™s been a busy few weeks, and Iโ€™m pleased to say that Nelson Road, our luxury high-end shared house, is now full, and 455 Canterbury Street is also fully occupied for the same landlord.
Weโ€™re seeing really good interest in shared houses where tenants have their own bathrooms, and weโ€™re continuing to refine our viewing and tenant follow-up process to make the journey as easy as possible.
Weโ€™re also taking on a new landlord portfolio in Gillingham, Medway. Weโ€™ve been looking at room rates and suggesting some simple finishing touches to help the house work smoothly, including recycling bins, a post rack, notice boards and fire blankets.
Itโ€™s often the small practical things that make a big difference.
Weโ€™re also looking to work with new landlords. As both a landlord and letting agent, Iโ€™m happy to come and have a look at your property and give you some honest advice.

A fantastic few weeks! ๐Ÿก

With changing market conditions and increased competition, we reduced the room prices on our beautiful kitchenette rooms โ€” and the response has been amazing.

In just 4 weeks, weโ€™ve successfully moved 7 tenants into the shared house accommodation.

From arranging viewings to handing over keys, itโ€™s been a very busy period, but weโ€™re proud to provide a smooth and personal service throughout the process.

Weโ€™re also expanding and currently looking for:
๐Ÿ”ง A reliable handyman
๐Ÿ“ˆ Better systems and processes to support our growing business

If youโ€™re a landlord looking for a proactive and experienced letting agent who understands property from both the agent and landlord side, weโ€™d love to help.

Please get in touch to discuss how we can support your property journey.
