Landlords

In this post, we take a look at two ways landlords can maximise returns – through effective use of annual rent increases, and strategically timing their tenancy renewals.

Inspecting your property periodically is an essential part of the management process – helping to protect your investment, and ensure your tenants are taking good care of your property.

An inventory is one of the single best ways of protecting both tenants and landlords – but despite this, many landlords still don’t take detailed inventories on the condition, contents and cleanliness of their rental properties at the start of a tenancy.

At CJ Property, we’re always looking for ways to improve our service for the benefit of our landlords.
This month, we’ve launched a brand new menu of additional services for our ‘Let Only’ landlord clients. From tenant communications and renewals, to property checks, inventories and check outs – it’s professional, expert support, as and when you need it.

With Autumn in full swing and winter on the way, it’s the time of year when condensation, damp and mould begin to set in – and they will only get worse over the coming months. Apart from looking unsightly, they can cause lasting damage to a property, and can exacerbate health problems for those living there.

This year, don’t let mould ruin your home or investment property – keep it dry and comfortable with this guide to controlling condensation.

As the mercury falls and Autumn arrives, it’s the perfect time to take stock and check the heating system in your property. Whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, taking steps to ensure that your boiler is working properly now could save you time, effort, discomfort and cost when winter arrives.

Avoid getting left out in the cold and ensure your properties stay warm and comfortable throughout the winter months by following these top tips.

This month in our ongoing property investment series, we’re taking a look at HU17 – the Beverley postcode. Centred on the historic market town, this prosperous, aspirational area offers a different proposition for property investors than other postcodes.

In this post, we take you behind the scenes of our agency and examine the service we offer – telling you what goes into our property management work, and how we ensure our landlords get real value from our support.

In the latest instalment in our ongoing property investment series, we examine the HU16 postcode, an area to the North West of the city. Home to Cottingham, one of the largest suburban villages in the country, as well as several smaller villages, it’s an ever popular place to live with a strong rental market.
