This comes as a new report states that 250,000 people are homeless because the council has run out of temporary accommodation.

Another report by the BBC, as many, as 2 million people are falling behind with their utility bills.

Which bills do you prioritise?

Rightmove report that asking prices of houses are falling again.

The financial Times reports that UK construction companies are becoming insolvent at the fastest rate in over 10 years. 4000 building companies have gone bust in a year as material prices, soar, and construction slows. 

Serviced Accommodation vs Buy-to-Let

Higher interest rates and increase in legislation has forced many landlords to consider switching to Serviced Accommodation, as opposed to the traditional buy to let standard AST tenants.

Serviced accommodation offers landlords the opportunity to increase their after-tax net returns, whilst avoiding many of the pitfalls linked to traditional buy to let, such as dealing with difficult tenants and the coming abolition of section 21 ‘no fault’ evictions.

 

In the past, landlords have been deterred from Serviced Accommodation due to the additional work involved. Traditional, letting agencies have been reluctant, or are just not equipped, to manage a Serviced Accommodation property involving guest turnover, bookings, cleaning, linen and so on.

 

But now there is a solution.

 

A new breed of specialist agencies has sprung up to satisfy this growing market by managing Serviced Accommodation properties at scale.

 

Open House South Herts has teamed up with one such agency that is actively seeking properties in the following areas:

 

Hertfordshire, Essex, Cambridge, as well as major metropolitan business areas in England.  

 

They offer landlords a complete hand free full management service, taking care of bookings, changeover, cleaning and linen. Bookings come from a number of sources including corporate temporary lets and booking.com to ensure the 80% occupancy the company aims to achieve.

 

Landlords benefit from higher net rents and hassle-free management.

 

The management company offers agents a generous introduction fee without having to manage the property.

 

Serviced Accommodation properties should be furnished and decorated to a high standard. The company will advise on the recommended specifications. Landlords will need to inform their mortgage lender and insurer and some boroughs may require planning consent.

 

Whilst this may not work for every landlord, the is growing demand for this service.

 

If you are a property owner or landlord looking to increase your rental returns whilst reducing the headache of section 21, and the looming renters reform act, contact me at SouthHerts@localagent.co.uk

NEW THREAT To Landlords And Employers As Home Office Tripple Fines For S...

NEW THREAT To Landlords And Employers As Home Office Tripple Fines For Supporting Illegal Immigrants

Just when landlords thought they’d suffered enough red tape a new threat is looming.

If you would like to take things to the next level and learn more about managing your money and becoming financially free, I invite you to join me on my 1 Day S.M.A.R,T MONEY WorkshopSaturday 19 August 10-5pm (with regular breaks and a lunch).

The UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, announced this week that fines will to be more than tripled for employers and landlords who allow illegal migrants to work for them or rent their properties.

The civil or non-criminal penalty for employers, last raised in 2014, will be increased to up to £45,000 per illegal worker for a first breach from £15,000, and up to £60,000 for repeat breaches from £20,000.

Fines will rise from £80 per lodger and £1,000 per occupier for a first breach to up to £5,000 per lodger and £10,000 per occupier.

Repeat offenders will face fines of £10,000 per lodger and £20,000 per occupier, up from £500 and £3,000 respectively.

The higher penalties, which require a lower burden of proof than a criminal prosecution, will be introduced in 2024.

The Home Office will consult on options to strengthen action against licensed businesses who are employing illegal workers later this year.

Almost 5,000 civil penalties have been issued to employers with a total value of £88.4m since 2018.

In the same period, buy-to-let landlords have been hit with over 320 civil penalties valued at £215,500.

Minister for Immigration Robert Jenrick said that employers and landlords should already be checking the eligibility of anyone they employ or let a property to. There are a number of ways to do this, which are not changing, including via a manual check of original documentation and a Home Office online checking system. The online check takes only 5 minutes.

Over 17,000 people have entered the UK illegally this year on small boats from France.

UK inflation fell to 6.8% (from 7.9) this week raising hopes that the Bank of England will hold interest rates at 5,25% - the highest for 15 years - next month.

However, with core inflation unchanged at 6.9% interest rates could rise to 5.5% adding further pressure on the housing market and driving the UK further towards a recession.

We are not out the economic woods yet, so learning how to mange your money has never been so crucial.

House Prices Fall Again As Interest Rise For Fourteenth Time

House Prices Fall Again As Interest Rise For Fourteenth Time

Houses fell at the fastest annual rate in 14 years, according to figures published by the Nationwide Building Society.

Interview with Miriam Nawagamuwa CeMAP, Mortgage and Protection Advisor with Larkin Financial Services.

The second largest UK mortgage lender say house prices fell by 3.8% in the year to July 2023, the sharpest drop since July 2009.

Higher mortgage rates and the cost-of-living crisis are making “affordability a challenge”, the lender said.

Watch video version - https://youtu.be/iIr0nGOGEdc - Charles Kelly Money Tips Podcast.

A typical 5-year fixed rate mortgage was 6.37% this week, but as high as 6.85% for a 2 year deal.

The Bank of England have followed the Fed and ECB by hiking interest rates for the fourteenth time by 0.25% to 5.25%, which will be another nail in the coffin for the housing market and borrowers.

Average price of a home in the UK is now £260,000, £13,000 below a peak last August.

The lender completed 85,000 transactions in June, down from 100,000 the previous year, which is a near 15% fall in business.
