“I have been a customer of Regal for the last 2 years. It is fair to say that I have high standards, so choosing a suitable lettings agent for my property was not a decision taken lightly. However, in deciding to go with Regal Estates, I most certainly made the right decision. They have been extremely helpful every step of the way, and dealt with any concerns that I had in the best way possible. I would highly recommend Regal Estates, and look forward to a continuing relationship with them.”

Lettings

With a vast amount of experience in the lettings market, we offer a comprehensive range of lett ing services, whether you are an accidental landlord, first time landlord or have a large portfolio of investment properties you can rely on us to offer you the best advice and guidance from the property appraisal stage right through to tenancy and property management.

As a member of The Association of Residential Letting Agents (ARLA) we do not take shortcuts when it comes to sourcing the right tenant for your property. The majority of our landlords refer us to family and friends due to the level of service they receive and we can do the same for you!

With the mass amounts of new regulation that now govern the lettings market, we ensure that as a landlord you are fully compliant with the Housing Act, tenancy legislation as well as any local borough licencing requirements that may affect you and in turn offering a smooth tenancy find service, with additional services such as rent collection, detailed inventories, key trade suppliers and deposit protection you can count on a full solution.

Management

We recognise that many residential landlords do not have the time to manage their tenanted properties whether it is just the one that they own or a portfolio which is why property management may be an appropriate solution for you. We take pride in our property management service and we will ensure the smooth running of the tenancy process. We currently manage property assets worth over £200 million and growing for hundreds of landlords. We pride ourselves on ensuring we place the right tenant for your property and successfully manage the whole process thereafter.

We also find a majority of properties that are managed tend to renew for longer periods at higher rents with more satisfied tenants as we are able to deal with emergencies and issues in a responsive manner. Our property managers are also trained to assess issues and contact one of our approved contractors to provide you and tenants with both temporary and long-term resolutions.

We let and manage over 80% of the London properties that we let as we want to provide a consistent service to our tenants and find this also benefits Landlords as we can ensure they are legally protected and any issues that arise are dealt with early on to avoid escalating problems.

Sales

Selling your house can be a stressful time, but with a small amount of work and some careful thought you can sell your property sooner, reducing the amount of stress involved.

Case Study 1:

Strode Road, Dollis Hill, NW10

Property Background: A two bedroom first floor flat located

near to Dollis Hill tube station in Willesden.

Current Market Rent: If rented as a two bedroom flat the

market rent is between £1300 - £1400 PCM

Gross HMO Room Rent Achieved for the property:

£2100 PCM

Case Study 2:

Beaconsfield Road, Willesden, NW10

Property Background: A two bedroom first floor flat located near

to Dollis Hill Station and Willesden bus garage

Current Market Rent: If rented as a two bedroom first floor flat

the market rent is £1400 - £1500 PCM

Gross HMO Room Rent Achieved for the property:

£2895 PCM

How we maximised on this property for our client:

Managed the process from start to finish for the client by obtaining planning permission to go into the loft and create a third en-suite bedroom giving the property four lettable rooms and subsequently renting these rooms out to working tenants for £825 PCM for the en-suite room, £775, £665 and £630 PCM giving a gross monthly rent of £2895.

How this benefits our client:

Planning permission and the resulting refurb and loft extension added to the square footage of the property which

added an additional £60,000 - £70,000 onto the property valuation and the cost of this work was half this figure. The gross rent is taken from £1500 PCM to a whopping £2895 PCM (an increase in £1395 PCM gross) thus maximising on the rental yield and adding value to the property, limiting tenant void periods, having a product with a constant rental demand as room rents are the next highly sought after letting in the area after two bedroom flats.

The property refurb was done to Brent Council Additional HMO standards and subsequently, our Property Management team fully manage the tenancies.

The basic concept of HMOs are simple but to make it work effectively, you need knowledge and experience in order to maximise your rental yields. We are able to demonstrate how we have maximised rental income for clients via HMOs.

Regal Estates are your local HMO expert. We are able to provide advice and consult on houses of multiple occupation in Brent. If you have or are considering a HMO in Brent or need guidance on property licencing in Brent we are able to help.

Check out these two case studies of how Landlords who wanted to maximise on their rent went down an alternative letting route of room lets with full management of these lets provided by Regal Estates

How we maximised on this property for our client:

Conducted a full internal refurbishment using Regal Property Services to carry out and manage the work, the refurb was carried out to Brent Council additional licencing standards creating three lettable rooms including one with en-suite facilities. After managing the building work we let the three rooms to professional tenants, ranging from a trainee architect, a service staff member working at a five star hotel in Central London and an office worker for £750 PCM for the en-suite room and the other rooms at £700 PCM and £650 PCM giving a gross total of £2100 per calendar month.

How this benefits our client:

The refurb in itself added to the property valuation. The achieved rent was taken from £1400 PCM to £2100 PCM (an increase of £700 PCM) other benefits include limiting void periods in the property when a tenant vacates, the creation of a highly demanded product at the moment, neutral internal design means the property can be let as rooms or a two bedroom flat allowing flexibility and in conclusion providing a professionally managed property room let model maximising on yield.
