Unprecedented rental demand in June – MORE PROPERTIES REQUIRED
Gascoigne Halman – South Manchester, North Cheshire and The High Peak’s leading letting specialists with 16 letting centres throughout the area – has reported an exceptional level of new lets in June, following on from a very busy April and May.
“We have exceeded our lettings forecasts by a significant margin in June and a number of our lettings managers also achieved new personal bests in the number of properties they let”, says Gascoigne Halman’s Director of Lettings, Philip Chadwick: “We have seen an exceptional level of demand in the last couple of months and are extremely proud of our staff, not only for coping with the demand, but for maintaining our high levels of customer service that we pride ourselves on. This achievement is down to teamwork and the dedication of all our employees, not just our lettings and property management staff, but our many employees in administration, IT, marketing, accounts and HR”.
“It is also down to the proactive approach we take in understanding and adapting to current market forces. We always advise our landlords honestly and accurately on precise market conditions to ensure that they let their property as quickly as possible at the best possible rent.”
Strong demand for rented accommodation looks set to continue. According to a recent survey young people in the UK are now twice as likely to rent long term compared to the previous generation.
The survey questioned 1800 people aged between 18 and 30 years and found that approximately a third (30.8%) have rented three or four properties, whilst only 17.5% of the previous generation had rented a similar number at the same age. 34.2% of those that currently live in rented accommodation confessed that they enjoy independence from property ties and a further 31.6% said they enjoy the flexibility to move around.
Says Philip: “With rental demand as strong as it is, and our reputation as a professional, trustworthy and experienced letting specialist well-established, we see a bright future for this side our company”.
“The public, landlords and tenants alike, are becoming more aware of the importance of using a reputable letting agent which understands and complies with the many legal obligations involved with letting property. We have always been at the forefront of best practice and improving standards in the industry and I believe this lies at the heart of our success.”
All that said we need more properties to let.

As we move into what is traditionally the start of our busiest period of the year(May to September)activity I'm pleased to report is good. The press is full of the fact that supply of property in the private rented sector is at it's lowest for many years. Tenants are staying longer, traditional first time buyers are still facing a funding issue as are investor Landlords and with sales having picked up vendors are not having to turn to the rental market to find a way to move on.
If demand continues to outstrip supply simple economics will prevail and rents will surely rise. We are are already seeing a firming up of prices in certain area's of the market and this will doubtless spread if new instructions are not forthcoming. A good time to buy? With interest rates still at a low level and still some good buys out there surely so for the Landlord not looking to borrow more than 75% of the purchase price.
So if you're considering purchasing please remember we are running our BOLOF (buy one let one free) offer until September this year. Contact any of our offices for a leaflet on how it works.
Good hunting,
Best wishes
Philip
