Since the introduction of the 1988 Housing Act and the ammendments in the 1996 Housing Act, Landlords now have far greater security when letting their properties.

This legislation introduced two new types of tenancy, Assured and Assured Shorthold. Under these new style leases, the length of tenancy and an open market rent are agreed at the outset, and the landlord has a guaranteed right to possession at the end of the fixed term. These changes were planned to revitalise the private rented sector of the housing market which had been in steady decline since the late 1940's.

Coupled with the dramtic slump in house prices in the late 1980's and early 1990's these factors have a positive effect on revitalizing the private rented sector and the letting agency industry.

Our innovative marketing of properties, careful selection of tenants and our fully comprehensive letting and management services have succeeded in firmly establishing us as Worcestershire's largest specialist letting agency with a prominently located rental property showrooms in Worcester and Bromsgrove.
