One of the frustrating parts of property investing is the ongoing cost of owning and maintaining it.

Service charges, ground rent, building insurance, compliance, maintenance... it all adds up.

The last thing you want is to neglect the upkeep of the property and end up with an avoidable incident that adds a significant repair bill on top of those ongoing costs.

That’s where planned maintenance comes in.

We’ve put together The Planned Approach.

Inside, we cover:
- How to build a planned maintenance schedule
- The 1% maintenance budgeting rule
- What should be checked monthly, quarterly and annually
- How we approach contractors and maintenance costs
- Staying ahead of compliance renewals

The principle behind it is simple:
You can’t stop things from going wrong. But you can put systems in place to prepare for them, and, in some cases, catch them before they become bigger problems.

We use this approach across the properties we manage at BricksIQ.

MTD: Making Tax Digital, or Making Tax Difficult?

Last month, 7th August marked the first submission deadline for Making Tax Digital for Income Tax in the UK.

For landlords and self-employed individuals with an income exceeding £50,000, (reducing to £30,000 from April 2027), this represents a significant change in how financial records are kept and reported to HMRC.

Instead of filing everything once a year for Self Assessment, MTD requires taxpayers to keep digital records and provide quarterly updates through compatible software.

The aim is simple:

More up-to-date records 🗓️
Fewer last-minute errors ❌
Better visibility over income and expenses 🔎

The property industry is naturally evolving. Landlords are moving away from keeping their records in notepads and filing cabinets towards using increasingly sophisticated, data-driven software.

But forcing people to change the way they work raises a question:

Has Making Tax Digital genuinely made managing property finances easier, or has it simply added another layer of admin?

At BricksIQ, we believe technology should reduce manual work, improve efficiency and help people make better decisions, not just create another process to follow.

For those who have completed their first MTD submission, how did you find it?

Short Stays vs. Long Stays❓

A debate many landlords have: which one actually gets you the stronger return?

Both have their place. Both can be lucrative. But it’s not one-size-fits-all.

We saw this play out firsthand with a landlord who was sure short stays were the answer. Then he realised Airbnb has a 90-day listing cap, a new guest request required his sign off every week, and there was an increasing amount of complaints from neighbours. What looked like extra income turned into a part-time job he never signed up for❗️

So we stepped in. With professional marketing and accurate pricing, the enquiries started rolling in. He was able to minimise the void period, maintain a healthy profit, and most importantly, get his time back to focus on his business.

With the right team behind you, long stays can be just as profitable as short stays, without any of the headache.

Not sure which route is right for your property? DM us and let’s talk it through. 📩

Handover complete for another client 🔑

This is the third unit in this building that BricksIQ has taken on, giving us a competitive advantage because we already know how to best market this property and advise landlords who invest in this area.

This client was splitting herself in two: full time career in the city, full time landlord. Both were at jeopardy, so something had to give.

We understood her pain points and her property goals and offered her something that built specifically around what she needed.

With her portfolio fully managed by us, she’s got her time and extra bandwidth back, free to focus on what actually matters. 🚀

For every landlord who exits, a professional investor steps in.

More landlords are leaving the market than ever before.

But that’s only half the story.

New research from Hamptons shows investors now make up a higher share of transactions than this time last year. Professional investors who treat property like a business are recognising this opportunity and are adding to their portfolios.

A larger share of properties gradually moving toward more professional hands will improve standards for tenants and offer better-run portfolios across the board.

If you’re an investor looking to acquire off-market from exiting landlords, or a landlord looking for a clean exit, send us a DM.

Most landlords are focused on the wrong numbers.

Headline figures such as rental income do not tell the full story. At BricksIQ we dig into the numbers that matters and work with our landlords to help them identify the true performance of their portfolio.

Two properties on the same street, same condition, can get very different results. The difference is almost always how the property is marketed, managed, and maintained throughout the tenancy.

If your property is not performing the way it should, our DM’s are open.
