With the excellent school catchment areas around, we have many families looking for property to rent. Many feel that a pet is an integral part of the family and the demand for pet friendly accommodation remains strong - a section of the market more landlords should tap into.
Natasha Dark, of Goadsby Broadstone indicated that many of their applicants are regularly stating; “We are finding it hard to find a property which accepts pets….I am happy to pay a higher rental/rent in advance if that will help me secure a property…. We are willing to get the property professionally cleaned once we move out".
With limited supply, tenants with pets often stay in the same accommodation much longer, offering landlords a reduced risk of costly void periods.
Natasha comments, ‘We have many successful lets with tenants who have pets, and we have a number of perspective tenants waiting for pet friendly homes. At Goadsby we offer added protection for landlords by having a thorough written and photographic inventory carried out, as well as specialising our agreements with extra clauses relating to the pet and the cleaning of the property on vacation.”
