Premier Property Collection 2009 Esher, Cobham, Oxshott, The Dittons, Weybridge & Walton on Thames Welcome to a selection of splendid properties we have available for rent. We would be delighted to assist with any questions you may have or perhaps wish to arrange a viewing at a time that suits you.

To assist your search for property, our recently updated web site has a live feed from our database to ensure that all of our properties are immediately presented on the web. There are detailed brochures to download to include professional photography and floor plans, every one of our clients’ properties have been inspected by all our negotiators and therefore, are able to discuss each one at great length prior to arranging viewing to ensure its suitability.

We at CHK continue to strengthen our position within the residential letting market. Our market share has grown considerably in the past year as many new clients have come on board to experience our quality letting service. I am pleased to mention this is mostly driven by recommendation from other clients, as well as a recent successful direct marketing campaign.

In comparison to the Spring time the enquiry level in the Summer softened slightly, particularly as we went into August, this was typical as most people were away on holiday. Most of the relocation agents reported fewer corporate moves mainly as there was such a surge during the Spring time.

Early indications however, suggest that the Autumn will experience more enquires not only from the corporate sector but from families who have successfully sold their property over the particularly good Summer period for sales and seek good quality family homes to rent whilst considering their buying options.

CHK cover a wide area to include; Esher, Cobham, Oxshott, Claygate, Weybridge, Walton on Thames, East Molesey and The Dittons. If you are thinking of renting your property then please do not hesitate to give us a call and we would be delighted to advise you.

Amanda Dobbe Head of Lettings at CHK Esher.

The tangible nature of property means that it is still viewed as a long term investment and in the current market is it even more vital to use a qualified ARLA Letting Agent, who will be able to advise on the required compliances of a wide variety of ever changing rules and regulations and most importantly prevent a Landlord being locked into a long term tenancy at a reduced rent or experiencing long and costly void periods.

What are CHK doing to maintain their market share in the recession?

THE FINAL WORD ‘Homes in Surrey’ speaks to Amanda Dobbe of leading Surrey letting agents CHK based in Esher, who offers us an expert insight into the Surrey Rental Market.

What does CHK do?

CHK is a privately owned ARLA bonded Letting Agent, one of the founder members of ARLA. Based in Esher for over twenty two years our business is the Letting and Management of over 1500 quality properties in some of the most prestigious and sought after locations in Surrey.

CHK offers a high quality personal service tailored to meet the needs of individual Landlord’s and Tenant’s. Our qualified experienced team work using their in depth knowledge of the rental market to ensure the success of every transaction.

How are you finding the market?

Despite a good year for lettings on the whole with the overall volume of transactions up by 30%, prices at the end of 2008 have inescapably softened.

The rental market in the Surrey Counties has reacted more slowly to the ‘credit crunch’ than other sectors of the housing market, however since the beginning of 2009 rents have unquestionably seen a significant drop, especially at the higher level, i.e. rents between 6,500 –15,000 per month therefore Landlord’s in this price bracket have been forced to adjust their expectations - a situation created by a large amount of property coming to the market, coupled with the reduced demand from potential Tenants mostly affected by the City down turn and reduced demand for Corporate Relocation.

The middle market, i.e. rents between £1,800 – £4,500 per month seems to be thriving particularly as the demand is more intense for cheaper properties resulting from reduced corporate budgets and potential investors in the property market being halted by unavailable financing, however only the best properties are letting easily. Those properties are well priced and neutrally decorated with up to date Kitchens and Bathrooms.

Recession demands a change of approach to make companies more competitive and successful, recession creates necessity for quality service, this is why despite the uncertain economic conditions CHK is experiencing significant growth and demand for our suite of services.

Best part of your job?

Working with a great team.

What are the prices of property CHK deal with as a company?

We have property starting at £1,000 per calendar month going up to £25,000 per month; due to the close proximity to the International School we have many enquiries for smart executive homes.

When you are out in Esher in the evening, where do you go?

Esher is great fun, we are lucky to have the choice of so many restaurants. My favourite is ‘The George’ the fried zucchini is delicious!

Where is your favourite part of the world and why?

I love the French Alps; getting lost in the mountains on a pair of skis certainly gives you the ‘good to be alive feeling’.
