THE DEFINITIVE MONTHLY LETTINGS NEWSLETTER FOR TENANTS
North Finchley, Woodside Park and Friern Barnet Tenants’ Tips March, April and May have been busy months in the rental market. We have seen a steady flow of quality properties becoming available and being let in record time. We have currently noticed a slight decrease in the number of prospective tenants looking for rental properties in the area, although we do expect enquiry numbers to increase as we head towards payday! The number of high-end properties available for tenants remains strong, both for properties available to rent immediately and those which are available later in the summer. It’s interesting to note that over the last twelve months we have experienced an substantial increase in demand for rental properties in the area; this increase is forecast to remain steady across the year. Our advice to anyone thinking of renting is to be ready to commit to an offer (in terms of signing offer paperwork and having funds for a holding deposit ready when viewing)as this will put you in the best position to proceed quickly and ensure you’re successful in securing your new home!

THE DEFINITIVE MONTHLY LETTINGS NEWSLETTER FOR LANDLORDS
North Finchley, Woodside Park and Friern Barnet Market Talk We have experienced a record-breaking start to 2015 with more properties let, and for higher rents, than ever before. The hottest period of the letting market approaches if you’re wondering whether to let your home, or to invest in a rental property, now is the perfect time to start the ball rolling. Indeed, over the last twelve months we have experienced an average increase in rent of 7.5% in the area; this increase is forecast to remain steady across the year. The results of the General Election mean that it’s unlikely that Landlords will suffer from ‘rent caps’ or minimum 3-year tenancies, a relief for Landlords and Agents alike! We’d love to hear about your experiences as a Landlord, please feel free to get in touch to tell us about any good stories you have, or problems you’ve encountered @MartynGerrardEA #markettalk Why a Landlord should choose us to rent a property?
