Our Sponsors Blurow Lettings offer a very interesting service!

It’s called ‘Tenant Find Only’

The features it includes;

Marketing the property

You will get the same great service our letting agent provides for all our customers who have a property to rent in Liverpool. Without this type of marketing, you’ll make it unnecessary difficult to find the right tenant. We can assure you that potential tenants check the Bluerow website and call us for new properties… daily!

We understand that finding the right tenant is possibly one of the most important considerations with any properties to let in Liverpool. With a wealth of experience, Bluerow lettings can help you find the right candidate and help answer all the questions, they’re likely to ask. We’ve seen it, heard it and done it all before!

Credit Checking tenants

We know that credit checking may not seem important, but trust us, it is! Imagine all the possibilities that could arise if you leave out this step. We have established links with agencies, and most importantly we go through this process on daily basis.

We Hope You All Know

Didn’t you know, Home information packs (HIPS) have been scrapped?

Home-owners selling properties are no longer be required to produce a home information pack (HIP), after the government announced they will be scrapped in May 2010.

In 2007 the government launched HIPS, and they became compulsory for anyone selling a home, they’ve been continually criticised by estate agents for adding to complexity of the buying and selling process. With price tags ranging from £200 – £400, we’re not surprised.

The Government hoped this action would encourage property sellers to get back onto the marketing and grow the economy.

EPCs (Energy Performance Certificates) are still mandatory under EU law, but the cost is around £60. Estate Agents, unreservedly welcomed this news!

A drawback, instead of a stimulus, we’ve now put lots of businesses responsible for HIPS creation, out of work. Some critics believed that home-buying process would become more expensive as a result of the abolition of the packs, with buyers having to pay for the searches contained within the HIP.

A year and 6 months on…

Has it worked? As we have lots of properties to let in Liverpool, we regularly look at local housing market reports.

We can’t be sure! The general cost of housing has reduced in most price brackets, the criteria for borrowing has tightened as borrowing factors are more stringent.

How are people expected to get on the property ladder when mortgages are more difficult to obtain for low and middle income families? Employment is rising and the banks cost of borrowing is growing at epic proportions.

The lettings market has certainly come out on top. It is still highly regulated, but demand for furnished properties is at a high.

It may not be the time to sell your property, dependent on your personal financial situation, but if you have a property to rent or even better a flat to rent in Liverpool, I can imagine you’ll get your hand bitten off.

Remember, becoming a landlord, is for some a full time occupation as demands placed on the home-owner are substantial.

Lettings agents are a quick, easy, to get the most out of your property and most importantly, hassle free!

Bad Times = Opportunities

It’s simple!! Do you have property to let in Liverpool? Are you thinking of buying a property and then renting it out?

If you’ve answered yes to either of these questions, then you have a profitable enterprise.

We all know how the property market is currently performing. We know that it’s harder than ever to get a mortgage in the current economic climate. What if we go back into recession following all the trouble in Europe? The collapse of the Euro could make it harder for every family in the UK,  low earning families will be even more marginalised in society.

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that your current savings are not delivering the returns they were 5 years ago. Pensions, don’t have the same yields, so if you want to be comfortable, it maybe time to stride out and make some money.

All this doom and gloom is a blessing in disguise, if you’re in the rental market. All those factors discussed above, ultimately mean, that home ownership isn’t increasing and young couples are in need of rents.

So if you have a property to let Liverpool, and for some crazy reason it isn’t let!!
