National recognition, local expertise

Our newsletter will bring you relevant information to make sure you're at the top of your game. 

In this edition we are giving you information on the dreaded void period and how we manage our stock, details of our Residential Block Management service and we discuss the increased pressure on private landlords as reported by Citizens Advice. 

We hope you enjoy the read!

A recent analysis of figures carried out on Hunters Lettings management stock shows that our average void period from a tenant vacating a property to tenant occupancy has decreased from 11 days last year to a comfortable 7*!

A mere 7 days of council tax to pay – surely this is a good sign for your property investment?
With this in mind have you thought about increasing your property portfolio?
When was the last time you reviewed your pension? (If over 55 years of age)

As a national estate agency brand we are in the enviable position of having access to a large database of properties from our growing network of over 150 independently owned branches throughout the country. This gives us a prime advantage and enables us to hand pick properties that offer good yields and strong capital growth for keen investors in prime locations when rental demand is high.

Why not take advantage of this service and get in touch?
