With the demand levels for property in London remaining high, there is an equal level of pressure in place to make use of buildings which stand empty. On a superficial level the easiest solution to the housing problem seems to be to just somehow force owners of the buildings not occupied to allow them to be used. Whilst we would assume that most would understand the sentiment behind this view, we would place emphasis on understanding that the rights of a building owner must at all times be respected.
The approach we take is to work with property owners in a constructive way. We don’t view the increasing demand levels as a reason to try and somehow force them to let their buildings be used. For us it is far better to emphasise the benefits which they can get from letting their investment properties be rented out, in particular through the use of our comprehensive property services. By this we mean it is better to gain an understanding of why they are vacant, and work towards an amicable solution in respect of getting them into use.
One of the key problems property owners face is the cost of allowing their building to be used. This cost is measured in terms of money and resources such as time. It is not that owners want to leave their buildings vacant, in most cases it’s just that they cannot provide what is required to ensure their building is let in a way that protects their investment. Our management services combined with arrangements such as guaranteed rent and council leasing address this. With our services managing a property, owners are assured of their assets are being well maintained and earning a fixed, fair return.
At present the London Borough of Newham has been identified as having a substantial number of vacant properties within it. Research has indicated that over 1,000 buildings are presently empty. If you own a property in the area and are looking for the ideal way to earn a return on investment from it, our comprehensive services are designed to give it to you.
