A record month for Lettings
Thursday, July 8, 2021
June was another busy month for our Lettings teams – our best June ever in fact - and recent statistics confirm national trends towards a decrease in void periods and an increase in average monthly rents.

The term ‘relocation’ is often associated with a particular notion: someone packing up their family to move cross-country or even internationally for a change in job or career and specifically at the request of and sometimes with the assistance of, their employer. But did you know that the majority of moves that Relocation Agent Network (RAN) members assist with take place within neighbouring areas and by people managing their own move?
