All markets evolve and student letting is no exception.
In recent years landlords have been required to meet HMO licencing conditions which are in themselves quite complex but these regulations have raised standards. At Goadsby we have established close links with local authority HMO teams and have adopted compliance of HMO regulations as a key working practice.
In addition with a growing student population Universities have invested heavily in new halls of residences and accordingly student accommodation is being offered at higher standards. Through our close contact with students and our awareness of competing property we are well placed to offer landlords our advice with regard to property presentation and HMO licencing conditions with particular reference to HMO planning status: C3 and C4 dwellings.
At Goadsby we maintain a high level of student letting enquiries and student letting landlords can be assured that we are well placed to let their property.
Whether you are a new landlord preparing your first property in readiness for letting or have let for many years, it is important to bear in mind that clean and well maintained properties attract better rents, quicker lets and longer tenancies
Legislation and regulations can make the lettings industry a minefield. Updates to legislation are frequent and non compliance can lead to fines and even custodial sentence’s it is therefore advised that you use an experience and reputable letting agent to ensure you are compliant and kept up to date with new and changes to legislation.
