Are you thinking of letting your property but worried about rent arrears or getting possession?
We absolutely understand your concerns, with an uncertain economy threatening jobs, long delays in the court system and a massively overburdened social housing system it can be a long and costly process to get possession.
It is for this exact reason we offer a simple and very cost effective solution. Through our partner firm Alan Boswell Insurance we have a range of award winning products that protect landlords from the risk by providing rental protection which covers all non-payment of rent (up to £2500 per month) and legal costs (up to £100,000) for all possession proceedings and court costs.
This cover even provides up to 3 months rent after possession is obtained, so this is a truly outstanding cover at a very affordable cost.
Alan Boswell Insurance are a very well respected local Norfolk firm based in Norwich and also offer specialist landlord buildings & contents cover too.

Record levels for February!
Aldreds lettings department have had an outstanding February with very high demand and an exceptional number of properties let.
Even with some Landlords mortgage rates increasing the average rent level growth has more than balanced this out meaning that rented property remains an excellent investment.
For those vendors with empty properties, renting during a difficult sales market provides many advantages including minimal costs as tenants will be paying the Council Tax and all utilities, no issues with insurance as the property will be not be vacant and perhaps the best advantage which is this gives breathing space to wait until the sales market returns to full strength.
Our Full Managed service covers every aspect of management and is ideal for first time Landlords. We will provide a full appraisal and cover all necessary legislation and how to maximise rental returns with minimal expense. We will market the property using all the most up to date methods such as video tours along with traditional staples, often overlooked by other agents, such as high quality photographs and floor plans. Taking great care to select the most suitable tenant and reference them thoroughly is absolutely key to a successful and stress free tenancy. We want our clients to be as involved as much as they wish with the final selection of tenant for their property.
Regular inspection visits and honest and open management of repairs are also very important and good communication with our Landlords during the tenancy means that we enjoy extremely high levels of client retention.
Please contact the lettings team to discuss your requirements and how our full range of services would be most suitable for your needs – phone 01493 849111.

Spring is on its way.
March is around the corner and the daffodils are up. Traditionally the busiest time in the housing market is not around the corner…it is here.
As I wrote last week, activity in the market is up around 20% on what we saw in 2023 straight after the mini budget and interest rate rises.
However, we are not in a boom! Pricing and marketing are absolutely key to driving activity and securing a sale at a best price in an acceptable period of time. Taking advice from a professional, experienced agent is imperative.
If you are thinking of selling call us today, drop us an email or pop in!
The Budget is on the horizon.
It is just over two weeks until the Chancellor will go to the dispatch box to deliver the Budget.
It is an election year….and that can mean a giveaway….but what could that mean for the housing market.
There are lots of rumours regarding possible changes to stamp duty for house purchases. Also, possible help to buy schemes. Even a review of higher stamp duty for buy to let purchases.
All will be revealed on 6th March and watch this space for updates!
