Our Letting Agent in Slough, Uxbridge and Iver Heath:-
As a successful entrepreneur Terry Richards is used to spotting a niche in the market and moving fast.
His route to success began in the early Nineties, when at the age of 20 he entered the buy to let market just ahead of the boom years.
Today Richards combines a successful loft conversion business with a thriving property portfolio of nine commercial and residential properties in Scotland, Uxbridge, Iver and Slough.
“I’ve always had a head for business, says Richards, “In my twenties I was running a business, managing staff and earning enough money to get onto the property market.”
Richards is just one example of a rapidly expanding team of highly experienced and successful landlords to join LettingAgent.com to let out properties in the UK.
It is his strong work ethic and business acumen that Richards, a father of three, believes gives him the edge over traditional letting agents.
“Managing a property portfolio is similar to running your own business; you must have good people skills and an ability to see the bigger picture, be hard working, diplomatic and have a network of key people behind you.
“Running my own loft conversion business means I already have an excellent team of experts on hand, such as builders, plumbers and electricians that give good trade discounts.”
Richards believes one of the strengths of LettingAgent.com is that as landlords they fully understand the pressures involved in buy to let.
“We understand the difficulties and problems involved in running your own business, says Richards.
“Unlike many people working in traditional letting agents, I have more than 20 years experience building, renting and developing property behind me. And while many letting agents do a good job, I can go that extra mile because I have the specialist know-how and access to good trades people.”
Richards has chosen to let out properties in Uxbridge, Iver and Slough because these are the areas he knows best.
“Excellent commuting links to central London from Uxbridge and Iver and Slough means there are lots of letting opportunities for professionals, students and families alike, says Richards: “The region’s close proximity to Heathrow also provides plenty of letting opportunities for airport staff.
“Slough’s economy is set to benefit from the Cross Rail link into East London, which will bring prosperity to the region and "unlock" new investment.”
In this time of economic uncertainty Richards’ believes that landlords should sit tight on their buy to let investment and take a long term view.
“A slow-down in the property market will always create demand in the rental market, which is good news for landlords, who can now achieve full rental value from their property.”
“And while house prices have fallen in recent months, this only becomes a problem if you sell, adds Richards: “According to house price trend statistics, the price of property has doubled every 9 years since 1900, so if landlords’ take a long term view, buy to let should continue to be a sound investment.”
