Positive moves for landlords and tenants
Tuesday, June 11, 2019
The new Tenant Fees Act came into force on 1 June 2019, banning letting fees paid by private tenants in England, and capping the security deposits they have to pay at five weeks' rent. Designed to reduce the costs that tenants incur at the start of the renting process, throughout their tenancy, and when their contract ends, the legislation places new rules on landlords and agents about what they can charge tenants. The changes will end the unscrupulous practice by some rogue landlords of overcharging renters for minor damages and protect private tenants from unexpected costs that can make properties hard to afford.

Spotlight on Chalfont St Peter – our estate agents view
Friday, May 17, 2019
Spotlight on Chalfont St Peter – our estate agents view. From its roots as an ancient Iron Age village, and later as an Anglo Saxon settlement along the River Misbourne, Chalfont St Peter has grown to become one of the largest villages in the South East with a population of over 13,000. The village boasts a “vibrant village community with a strong local identity” and this is clearly seen at the Feast Day which takes place on Gold Hill Common each year. This year’s Feast Day takes place on Saturday June 29th and if you’ve never visited before it’s a real introduction to Chalfont St Peter’s community focus and family fun.

After a few glorious days of sunshine, summer’s on its way and you can really start to dream about lazy days outdoors.

The property market is changing and on a weekly, even daily basis there are different media headlines, prices up, prices down, fewer transactions, a rush to sell. Seasonality has all but gone and the window of opportunity is not just confined to April or September. It is not as easy to sell a house as it was; in the past you could advertise the property as widely as possible and if it were marketed at the right price it would sell. That is no longer enough. The current property market is somewhat more demanding and requires an enhanced level of skill and local knowledge to achieve the best results.
