How we’re doing all we can for Landlords and Tenants in Wembley

How we’re doing all we can for Landlords and Tenants in Wembley

In this two-minute read, we look at how many landlords have realised the benefits of using a letting agency during the Coronavirus outbreak.

The last few weeks have been testing for all of us.

Every aspect of our lives has been touched by the pandemic and the measures we’ve had to take to reduce this deadly disease’s impact on the NHS, our neighbours and our loved ones.

It’s been a bewildering period with most people having to face situations and problems that were unimaginable three months ago.

At Grey & Co we’ve seen a steep rise in the number of landlords contacting us with questions and seeking expert advice and reassurance.

Many of these people are landlords who were self-managing their properties, but the outbreak has made them realise they need extra help and expertise.

We’re taking calls from landlords and property investors in Wembley and further afield who are faced with new challenges they didn’t even know existed.

Frequently asked questions we’ve answered include:

‘Do the usual rules and regulations to rental property apply now?

What can I do to protect my rent but be reasonable and fair to my tenants?

Where can I get more information about my rights and responsibilities as a landlord? What Government help is available to landlords?’

Being a landlord, who self manages their property is now a more significant challenge than it would be if a letting agency managed it.

And here’s why:
·  
As letting agents, we are experienced in a wide range of scenarios, and we keep up to date with the ever-changing rules and regulations affecting the industry. As of December, last year, there were more than 327 of these rules and regulations.

Many landlords are now experiencing how time-consuming dealing with tenants and rent issues can be. We take that time burden off your hands.

At Grey & Co we’ve been working flat out to stay in touch with landlords and tenants to keep lines of communication open and working well.

Being a landlord can be a lonely place, especially at times like these, so it helps to have an expert on your side to guide and support you and work hard on your behalf.

And we understand tenants are feeling just as anxious and unsure of the future and we’re helping them too.
If you are a landlord in WEMBLEY who has any questions or issues you need support with, we’re here to help, just give us a call on 020 8903 3909, or drop me an email; abigailgrey@greyandco.co.uk.

Thanks for reading. Stay at Home, Protect the NHS and Save Lives. We’ll get through this together.

Despite overblown media reports of a wave of landlords selling up due to regulation changes and new government policies, property remains a viable long-term investment for many. For first-time landlords, however, common pitfalls can turn a promising venture into a stressful experience.

Welcoming a new tenant can be exciting for landlords, but it also requires careful preparation to ensure a smooth transition. A well-prepared property makes a great first impression and can set the tone for a successful tenancy. Here are five key steps landlords should take before handing over the keys.
