Welcome to 2016 and already we can see the market booming with new clients looking for rentals. Most people start the year looking to make big changes and moving in together or out from their parents house becomes a reality. Job changes too could mean relocation. Demand for property often outstrips supply and therefore we are always looking for properties to rent that fits our specifications.
We have been in property rentals since 2007 and our knowledge of the Peterborough market has grown. Working to our 6 week marketing plan, landlords can rest assured we actively market each rental that we take on. Sometimes properties will not even reach our social media advertising channels as they will have been snapped up by our existing client list.
This month’s rental successes include:
A large six bedroom detached property at Evergreen Drive in Hampton renting for £1,350 per month and a detached four bedroom property at Longfield Gate renting for £1,200 per month.
New properties to market include:
A large four bedroom detached property on Redshank Way, Hampton Vale renting for £1,250 per month.

Peterborough benefits from being commutable distance to more expensive London and Cambridge and this is a marketable point for property.

Tip for the month –
The government has announced that from 1 February 2016, all private landlords in England will have to check new tenants have the right to be in the UK before renting out their property.
Under the new rules, landlords who fail to check a potential tenant’s ‘Right to Rent’ will face penalties of up to £3,000 per tenant.
The new law will mean that private landlords, including those who sub-let or take in lodgers, must check the right of prospective tenants to be in the country to avoid being hit with a penalty.
