Landlord Focus

2024 has been an eventful year in the lettings market, and we are thrilled to be ending it on a high note. By the close of this year, 20% of our landlords will be new clients. We extend a warm welcome to each of you and express our heartfelt gratitude to our existing landlords for your continued business.

This year, we have seen a diverse range of new clients, including first-time landlords, existing customers upgrading to our managed service, landlords switching agents, and those expanding their portfolios with us. All are benefiting from the exceptional service provided by our lettings professionals, many of whom are ARLA qualified.

At Gascoigne Halman we prioritise understanding landlords’ needs, whether it’s maximising return on investment or protecting the condition of a property. We carefully match tenants to landlords’ requirements, ensuring the best outcomes for both parties. Additionally, we ensure our landlords are regularly updated on the latest property legislation, helping keep them fully informed and compliant.

Unlocking Impressive Rental Yields

Highlighting the lucrative landlord opportunities available across our regional marketplace, we have achieved some outstanding rental yields for clients over recent months.  These include:

  • Frodsham: We currently let a property on Wroxham Close for £1,250 pcm, generating a 7.32% yield.
  • Cheadle Hulme: A one-bedroom flat in Cheadle Hulme is currently generating a 7% yield for our landlord client.
  • Wythenshawe: A recently purchased two-bedroom apartment on Actonville Avenue is set to net an 8.7% yield.

Market Insight

Following a period of growth earlier this year, rents have now stabilised. Our current advice to landlords is to focus on maximising income, achieving fair market value, and carefully managing expenditure.

Easy routes to achieve this include regularly reviewing and securing the best mortgage deals and not overpaying on property repairs and upkeep. Our team can assist with all of this. 

We are always available to help our landlords enhance their returns while ensuring a positive experience for tenants. Drawing on our extensive expertise from managing thousands of property rentals, we regularly make recommendations that benefit our landlords.
