This blog follows the property market in Northampton with a particular emphasis on buy-to-let. On here you'll find general commentary about the market, plus properties that may represent decent buys. I own a large estate agency in Northampton and am myself a landlord with an established portfolio. If you're looking to invest, but are unsure what will work best, I'm happy to offer a (free) second opinion. If you have a property to sell I can help with that too!

Contractors!


We are updating our list of approved contractors and are keen to hear from people who may have skills in the areas below. This may be your main occupation or something you do in your spare time. It’s important you have your own tools, equipment and transport, plus if the job is a regulated one (eg. Gas Engineers) you must have the required paperwork. It’s also important that you have some time in your diary – the nature of our business is that we need things done quickly, so if you’re booking 6 weeks in advance you’re no use to us. If English if not your first language, your English must be good enough for you to deal with us by telephone or email – we do not visit jobs with contractors every time.
  1. ·       Ground workers (lay turf or a patio etc)
  2. ·       Gas Engineers (Gas Safe only)
  3. ·       Plumbers (fix leaks)
  4. ·       Fencing / Decking (repair or replacement)
  5. ·       Painting and Decorating (but only people who prep properly and do a good job!)
  6. ·       Clearance and cleaning  (end of tenancy)
  7. ·       Electricians (qualified)
  8. ·       General handymen
  9. ·       Roofers
  10. ·       Plasterers (tidy ones!)


If you have any skills in these areas, AND you have availability, or know someone that does, please EMAIL me (don’t call!) and let me know what you can do. 

We're aware that most lettings agents will let you charge them anything, and aren't too fussy about quality. We expect a good job at a reasonable price.
