Well, here it is, our brand-new Francis Stuart website and we’re very happy with it.
One of the aims of this website is to keep people updated with everything that’s going in the property market as well as the odd bit of news about us as a company.
However, what’s really important is that this website will allow you to understand the HMO rental market just a little bit more. If you’re a landlord or even a potential landlord, it’s worth keeping an eye on what we write about because it should give you one of the most valuable commodities … insight.
Talking of insight, one of the biggest single issues that’s been impacting the HMO property market in recent years is the pandemic. As most people are aware, the UK Government brought in temporary rules that aimed to balance out how tenants in financial difficulties were handled. In truth, very little was done on the flip side to help the property investors themselves even though many had borrowings on those properties in the first place.
But here’s the point. The pandemic proved that although being an HMO property investor can offer good solid returns, it can also be a tricky market to navigate your way round. But that’s what we, here at Francis Stuart, are here to help with. Our years of experience have helped our investor clients through recent months and we’ve helped prepare them for the new way forward, which is potentially set to see more changes again.
It’s important to remember that the idea of landlords having numerous properties all over the area isn’t always correct. The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government have said that 45% of private landlords, own just one single property that they rent out.
What this means is that landlords don’t always have the experience in this sector to avoid the potential pitfalls and under those circumstances, they should be talking to us at Francis Stuart if they want to achieve their investment dream without it turning in to a nightmare.
So, here’s our pitch. If you’re landlord with an empty HMO property, then talk to us, we’ll fill it with the right type of tenants. If you’re a landlord that feels that your estate agent isn’t doing much for you, then talk to us and if you’re a potential landlord that’s looking at the HMO market then talk to us.
Lastly, if you’re a tenant looking to rent a property, then pick up the phone, but just beware, properties on our books are shifting very quick.
