A Market in Transition

Dear Landlord,

If you’re finding it increasingly difficult to secure reliable student tenants for your Norwich property, you’re not alone. This year, more landlords than ever are facing uncertainty, not only from shifting student demand, but also from the growing impact of the Renters’ Reform Bill.

A Market in Transition

We are seeing a significant change in student renting patterns. Many students making the most of the renters reform bill and exercising their 2 months right and will be giving notice on 1st of May to move out as early as July, which can leave landlords facing:

• Up to 3 months of lost rent

• Unexpected void periods, if you have already agreed September move in  for new students

• A rushed search for replacement tenants

• Stress from compliance obligations under new regulations

Traditional letting strategies simply aren’t enough to protect your income or keep your property occupied.

This is where Melanie Estates can help you stay firmly ahead of the curve.
