Let There Be Love – The Landlord and Tenant Special

Let There Be Love – The Landlord and Tenant Special

In this two-minute read, we look at ten ways to improve any landlord and tenant relationship.

If you do a quick Google search on ‘how to keep love alive’, communication comes out on top of many of the pieces of advice shared.

Almost all relationships benefit from good communication. And that advice extends beyond being a partner, parent, or friend – it can easily be applied to the landlord and tenant relationship.

But there’s more to it than that.

When it’s done well, the landlord and tenant relationship is precisely that – a relationship rather than a transaction.

Below are ten ways landlords and tenants can avoid losing that loving feeling.
 
What tenants love about good landlords
·        They ensure the property is well maintained and repairs are carried out quickly.
·        They show empathy and fairness in their dealings with tenants.
·        They recognise that even though it may be the landlord’s property – it’s the tenants’ home.
·        They respect the tenants’ right to privacy and never drop in unannounced (there are regulations around this – contact us to find out more).
·        They appreciate good tenants and are fair if and when there’s a need to raise the rent.
 
What landlords love about good tenants
·        They pay the rent on time, every time.
·        They look after the property as if it’s their own.
·        They don’t cause the landlord any issues with neighbours.
·        They communicate if there is an issue, such as a repair or a change in their circumstances.
·        They respect their boundaries – some landlords are hands-off and have us manage their properties. This doesn’t affect the tenancy adversely, and it can enhance it in many ways.

Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so much to consider—budgets, mortgages, legal paperwork, and finding the right property—it’s easy to feel lost in the process. This guide outlines the key things every first-time buyer should know before taking that first step onto the property ladder.

Once overlooked, bungalows are fast becoming some of the most desirable homes in Attleborough and beyond. With demand soaring, supply scarce, and prices per square foot outpacing other property types, these single-level homes are proving both practical and prestigious. Here’s why they’re back in fashion.

Bungalows aren’t built equal across the UK—sizes swing widely. Northern Ireland tops the list at 1,170 sq.ft, while Yorkshire & the Humber trails at 875 sq.ft, a 34% gap. When downsizing, would you trade your location for extra room?

Attleborough’s property market is always shifting, and monthly trends reveal more than any single price tag. Whether you’re selling or just curious about your home’s value, staying informed could give you the edge. Would you like to know where the market is heading?
