A quick update to inform you all that, as usual, our office will be closed between Christmas and New Years. Read on to see how our service will continue to work during the shut-down.

10 years today The Living Room Letting Agency in Cardiff was created! At milestones like this it causes time for reflection and an opportunity to say a big thank you to a lot of people.

If your tenancy is coming to an end we have compiled some handy information to help make your check out go smoothly.

Summer Works, A Project Example

Thinking of doing some work this summer? Now is the time to get planning and get everything booked in. Trades get booked up very far in advance for the summer months. Have a look at how one landlord increased their income by £5000 a year.

We wanted to make sure that you guys know when we’re working and how you can get in touch with us over the Easter weekend.

The Living Room's office will be closed to allow our team to complete their 5-yearly Rent Smart Wales re-training ahead of our agency licence renewal in April.

We do our best to minimise viewings with great photos and video tours of a lot of our managed properties now however you don’t want lots of viewings coming in and out there are a few simple tricks that can really help.

The fact is the nicer a property looks the quicker it will rent!

Please be aware that - just as in prior years - our office will be closed between Christmas and New Years. However, even though the office is closed, that doesn't mean that our service stops.

Interested in renewing your student home for next year? This year with COVID-19 it may be more important to do so than ever. Avoid having to search for a new home throughout a pandemic and have to have strangers enter your home to view your property. Here we assess these (and other) key benefits to renewing your house with us this year.

We’re going through tough times at the moment, and we understand that moving is not the easiest thing in the world to do at the moment. But for many, the lead up to the 1st July 2020 means that you’re going to need somewhere new to stay.

So if you do have to move, we’ve decided to at least make the cost of moving a bit cheaper for you!

It’s been well documented that the government has given landlords the option to request a 3-month payment holiday from mortgage lenders if their tenants have been adversely affected by COVID-19. However, what’s not been very well documented is the consequences of a landlord exercising this option.

If you’re struggling to pay your rent as a result of circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, landlords are going to need clear evidence that you have exhausted your own options for financial help and welfare before you come to them asking for options on what they can do to help you.

So the actual office may be closed, but we still felt it was super important to make sure that you guys know when we’re working and how you can get in touch with us over the Easter weekend.

Do you manage your own property and are looking for some help during this difficult period? We could be able to help you.

We’ve made a small change to our opening hours starting from Monday, 3rd February 2020.
