The tenancy health check

Even a mate of ours, an accountant, no less didn't pass our compliance check first time round.

We run something called a tenancy health check, and you don't need to be one of our fully managed landlords to use it.

Any landlord, self-managing or with another agent, can come to us and we'll audit the whole file, deposit protection, notices, certificates, then give a clear list of what's actually at risk.

It's rarely dramatic.

Usually it's a missed renewal, a deposit never quite protected properly, or a notice that wasn't served correctly.

You don't have to hand over full management for this peace of mind.

If nobody independent's ever checked your paperwork, it's worth finding out what they'd spot before a tenant or a tribunal does.

Can I still sell if I'm halfway through a renovation?

You can absolutely sell your house halfway through a renovation.
Whether you should finish it first is a different question entirely.

The state of the house at the point of sale will affect the figure, obviously, but renovations aren't always worth completing before you go to market.

Homes are personal, and a new kitchen especially is one of those things we'd rarely advise doing purely to sell, you might spend three grand chasing five back, and that's before you count your own time, which is worth something too.

Whatever stage you're at, get an agent round, weigh the cost against the value it'll actually add, and go from there.

Not sure whether to finish the job first?
Come and talk it through with us.

A price cut isn't an instant fix

A price cut doesn't speed anything up.
It just resets the clock.

It feels like dropping the figure should unlock a flood of interest overnight, but the numbers tell a different story, you're not correcting a price, you're essentially starting the wait all over again from scratch.

Which is exactly why getting the price right at the very start matters more than treating a future cut as a safety net.

A cut isn't a shortcut.
It's a second attempt, with all the same waiting built back in, and none of it guaranteed.

Whoever ends up selling your home, it's worth asking what a "we can always drop it later" plan actually costs you in time, because it's usually more than people expect.

Want an honest read on your price from the off?

That's what we're here for.

Toughest Spurs Season

My own eldest turned to me part way through last season and asked why I'd made him a Spurs fan.
Honestly, it was a fair question.

Last season was probably the toughest one I can remember, even with a trophy in the cabinet.

Too many changes at the top, too much chopping and changing with the manager, and when you can see what's going wrong from the armchair, it's frustrating watching it play out anyway.

I know that's easy to say from the sofa.

But here's the thing about supporting Spurs, it makes you an eternal optimist, whether you like it or not.
It's just built in.

I'm already fully convinced we're winning the league this season, and I'm saying that with a straight face.

You learn patience.
You learn you always go again.

Fellow Spurs fan who's somehow still optimistic?
Let us know we're not alone.

Grade II Loft Apartment

We had a proper go at guessing the value of this one, and it's fair to say neither of us covered ourselves in glory.

It's a Grade II listed loft apartment right by Chelmsford station:
Exposed brick, steelwork, 25-foot vaulted ceilings, the sort of place that photographs beautifully and still manages to catch you out on price.

We each had one guess, no research, no cheating, and the gap between our two answers tells you rather a lot about how tricky this market can be to call, even for people who do it every day.

It's currently on the market at £650,000, and it really is a lovely spot.

If you'd rather have an actual valuation than our best guess, that's exactly what we're here for.

The deposit protection mistakes that cost landlords most

Get deposit protection wrong, and you could end up owing your tenant three times the deposit back.

Miss the protection deadline, fail to serve the prescribed information properly, or protect it under the wrong scheme, and you can lose your ability to serve a valid notice, plus face paying up to three times the deposit in compensation, on top of returning the original.

It's one of the most punished mistakes in lettings, and genuinely one of the easiest to avoid.

Most cases we see aren't malicious, they're landlords who didn't realise there was a strict deadline attached, or assumed protecting it once covered every renewal after that.

If you're managing your own tenancies, check your deposit's protected properly today

How quickly can I expect to find a tenant for my property?

If your rental's been sitting empty for more than a couple of weeks, that's usually telling you something.

We always say letting a property should be quick, from going to market to finding someone who genuinely wants to move in, you're normally looking at around two weeks.

If it's taking much longer than that, the likelihood is the price needs a small adjustment, not a rethink of the whole approach.

Worth remembering tenants now have to give two months' notice wherever they currently are, so moving-in dates aren't always instant, even once you've found the right person.

But a correctly priced, well-marketed property should have a holding deposit in hand within a fortnight.

If yours has been sitting there longer than that, let's have a look at why.
