News from Bristol's Best Lettings Agency

Introduced to the House of Commons on Wednesday 17 May 2023, the Renters (Reform) Bill has been designed with the aim of bringing clarity to letting agents and their landlords and improve confidence of both parties in the property rental process moving forward.

Whether you are letting your first property or are an experienced landlord, it is vital to ensure you meet all regulatory requirements. Failure to do so in some cases could lead to prosecution.

Obtaining a license for the property in question may be necessary, depending on the type of accommodation being let out.

Asides from the actual purchase value of the property and related costs such as Stamp Duty, there are running costs and other one-off costs to consider. But, even in these tough financial times, being a landlord can still be a profitable enterprise, as a way of topping up income from employment in a different field or as a standalone business.

Balloon Lettings is delighted to announce The BillyChip®️ Foundation as its charitable partner.

With available housing stock low and demand sky high, it comes as no great surprise that people looking to rent in Bristol are finding it a very tough market at the moment.

The property lettings market is set to be affected by the abolition of Section 21 of the Housing Act (1988).

To help celebrate their first anniversary as an ethical property lettings business, Bristol-based Balloon Letting Co. have given their company website a fresh new look.

Founder Ben Giles looks back on the last 12 months and the impact the ethically-driven company has had not only on the Bristol property market as a whole but all the individuals involved.
