If you’re in the fortunate position of either owning a property alongside your current home, or if you’re a landlord with one or more rental homes looking for a more progressive management agency, Jackson-Stops South East is in a prime position to help you realise an upturn in income, regular letting of your properties and stress-free management of your property investment.
You have probably noticed that tenant demand is rising much faster than available rental properties leading to higher rents, with the Office for National Statistics recording the average newly listed rental price at £969 a month – and considerably more in the South East. The problem is becoming so widespread in the private rented sector that the Association of Independent Inventory Clerks (AIIC) is asking the government to use its levelling up agenda to increase the provision of more new properties for rent across the entire UK.
A lack of available property in the sales market is also leading many sellers to rent for a period until they can find a suitable home to buy. While our own research shows that we are at the beginning of a Spring boom in new sales instructions we’re also seeing a boom in new applicants, which will mean a sustained interested in the rental market from buyers for the foreseeable future.
Now is a great time to realise your property assets and bring them to the market or transfer their management to Jackson-Stops.

Many potential tenants begin their search online so making sure the property is well photographed and decorated and, where appropriate, furnished is critical.

Our property marketing includes targeted digital and print communications to showcase your property, professional photography, a healthy national and regional social media presence and local, regional and national advertising. Your rental property will be seen by a wide audience.
