The residential lettings market has experienced huge market surges in recent times and particularly over the past year as many would-be buyers were forced to turn to the rental market rather than buy. This boosted the already growing demand for quality rental property and has led to a dramatic shortfall in stock, according to Stephanie Caine who heads the Lettings department at Royston & Lund in West Bridgford. She says, “Demand over the festive period and from day one of the New Year has seen applicant numbers soar compared with the same period last year and, despite this being a traditionally quiet period, all available viewing slots were snapped up. Although this means starting the year ahead of the game with a very positive outlook, it also means a shortage of stock to meet the burgeoning demand for all types of accommodation. Hot on the wish list for many is anything remotely central for West Bridgford and its excellent facilities. However, there is also a strong appetite for larger quality property in more rural areas. The company has an enviable track record of success and covers a broad area for property rental in terms of both location and price with applicants looking for a range of property from one-bedroom flats to five bedroom houses. Royston & Lund have built a reputation for rejecting property that doesn’t meet the standards which their client base has come to expect and consequently properties on their list generally attract high viewing levels and quality tenants to match. Whilst landlords have many options, they are encouraged to do their research and appoint the right agent and level of service for their property before they enter into any agreement. Our aim is to ensure they achieve sensible and sound advice, the best rental values and good tenants for their property, says Stephanie.
Royston & Lund Estate Agent and Lettings team are delighted to annouce that for the 2nd year running they have been SHORT LISTED within the TOP 10 Estate Agents in the East Midlands Region.
The resulsts and awards will be announced in London on the 15th April 2010.
