As Spring approaches we are preparing for our busiest time of year. Spring is the time that homeowners looking to sell their properties finish their DIY projects and put their houses on the market and buyers start searching.
With most buyers using the internet to search for properties, We understand the need to get a property online in the right places at the right time to achieve a sale. We are one of only a small number of estate agents in the area who offer our clients the chance to market their properties on the 3 largest property portals, Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket.com. giving clients properties the best exposure to potential buyers.
Spring is also the start of the holiday season and 2019 promises to be busy as we now manage a number of holiday lets in Meltham and Holmfirth. We have been surprised by how popular the accommodation has been with bookings being taken throughout the year from people both from the UK and further afield including the US, Australia and Europe. Guests usually stay for a few nights to take a short break, visit family or for work. We promote the properties through Airbnb, manage the bookings, collect fees, check in guests, arrange cleaning and laundry services and deal with any queries so the owners can put their feet up.
In 2019 we plan to continue to grow our portfolio of properties that we manage for landlords by offering our popular bespoke ‘Find a Tenant' and ‘Fully Managed' services. The tailored approach allows landlords to choose from a list of services that we provide to suit their needs and budget. Working closely with our landlords is key, especially this year as landlords and agent see the government bring in new laws to ban certain fees to tenants, including fees for referencing and credit scoring, which could affect the income generated from rental properties.
