Landlords
Why choose R.P.M.?
We set ourselves apart and ahead of the competition by devoting all of our time to the rental market. We are dedicated solely to the letting and management of residential properties and we believe that a business as potentially complex as this deserves a specialist.
If approached properly, being part of the private rental sector can be a very profitable and rewarding pursuit for investors and first-time landlords alike. We are here to ensure that you get the best from your property asset. All of our clients can be assured that they will get an efficient, no-nonsense service, with the best advice and guidance on how to maximize their income and protect their property.
We handle all types of property from individual flats and studios to blocks of flats, two and three bed houses, bungalows and cottages and larger homes and farmhouses.
If you are thinking about letting a property that you already own, or about becoming involved in buy-to-let, here are a few points about the rental market to encourage you:
- Demand for rented property throughout the UK has risen steadily in the past twenty years. The private rented property sector now represents 12% of UK housing stock and is forecast to grow to 15-20% in the coming years.
- The 1988 Housing Act dramatically improved landlords’ rights over their rented property. It is easy to gain possession of your property, if required.
- The Government is keen to continue to encourage growth in the private rented sector.
- The need for higher deposits and the lack of mortgage funding available to younger people is forcing them to wait until later in life to purchase a property - so they will rent. We do not see this situation changing for many years to come and it is quite likely that this ‘shift’ to rented property will be a permanent one.
Thinking of Buying-to-Let?
Look no further than R.P.M for the complete service. We provide advice on the local market, what types of property are in demand and how they should be prepared for letting. We will gladly visit a property before you purchase it to assess it's suitability and give a rental valuation.
If you require a mortgage, we can put you in touch with a local broker to guide you through the process.
We offer a range of landlords insurance products including Landlords Household & Rent & Legal Protection Insurance.
