Yorkshire and Humberside Lettings Focus

Over the last few years, the number of people wishing to rent rather than buy a home 
has grown enormously. Recent figures suggest that home ownership has fallen to its 
lowest level since 1987, while the number of households in rented accommodation 
has almost doubled.

Here are the latest statistics we can report for the lettings industry in Yorkshire and the 
Humberside Region:-

Income

Tenants in Yorkshire & Humberside currently earn on average £23,000 per annum after 
their income increased in the last 12 months by 5.6%.

36% of the tenants’ income is currently spent on rent Yorkshire and Humberside region.

Tenant age 

The average age of tenants in Yorkshire and the Humberside is 32. This is 3.8% lower than
the national average.

Employment 

There has been a 0.7% increase in the percentage of unemployed tenants moving into a new 
rented home in the region.

Rents 

Average rents are at their lowest amount since June 2012, after lowering by 3.6% during
January to £557 per month.

Feedback from the Regional ARLA meeting:-

Feedback from the Regional ARLA meeting:-

Amy Wray and Laura Everitt visited the Marriot Hotel in York for the ARLA regional meeting earlier this month. Guest speakers were Ian Potter, Director of ARLA and Alison MacDougall from Tenancy Deposit Scheme – TDS.

As usual, the updates from Ian were very useful, both Laura and Amy came away with new in house procedures and suggested changes for some of Applegate’s procedures. Recent case law and future legislation are often discussed at the regional meeting and this really does help the letting agents who attend keep a step ahead in this complex business and ensures they offer their landlords and tenants with the most up to date advice.

Alison from the Tenancy Deposit Scheme discussed recent and most common cases arising in bond disputes and provided hints and tips with regards to the creation of the initial inventory and check out reports. As a qualified MAPIP (Member of the Association of Professional Inventory Providers), Laura was pleased that Applegate already create extremely high quality inventories and little alterations were required within these procedures. Carole from Citi Lets spoke about managing maintenance efficiently and shared with the 70+ attendees the new systems that they have put in place to ensure tenants can report issues as accurately as possible.

Overall another successful 2-3 hours and as always definitely worth the trip to the wonderful city of York.

Here at Applegate Properties, we pride ourselves on being one of the very few agents in the area to be members of ARLA (Association of Residential Letting Agents) and the Property Lettings Ombudsman, as well as being one of the few who deal exclusively with rental properties. These accreditations bind us to strict codes of practice so you can be assured you are dealing with the experts whilst safeguarding you and your investment.
