Both investing long term AND providing a family with a home can be very rewarding - so here are a few tips
There will always be a need for property to rent in the private sector, especially as most Local Authorities now have very limited stock available.
We always have a constant stream of prospective tenants looking for properties to rent here in Rugby so property investment is still a good choice.
That’s all very well but most first time investors tell us it is a bit scary wondering if it’s the right thing to do. Firstly we would advise that they use a qualified Letting Agent because like all investments where money can be made there are risks but we can take several steps to at least prevent the pitfalls - and this comes after years of experience.
Of course all Landlords want a good service from their Letting Agent but what does that really mean?
That all prospective tenants are thoroughly checked to prove suitability
That their properties are occupied all the time – this should be achievable if the rent is set at current market rates and the property is in good order
That they receive regular rental payments in full and on time together with a statement of account for their own records
That their properties are regularly visited and well maintained
That the Letting Agent offers a 24 hour service in the case of emergencies and that they use fully qualified tradesmen with public liability insurance
That they have no hassle with tenants and can get on with their own busy lives
That they are complying with all laws relating to being a landlord and renting property. It could in future be a pension – or perhaps pay for a child’s education
We look forward to working with you

Landlord testimonials
I have been a client of Amethyst Lettings since June 2008. Pauline and her staff have provided me with excellent service thoughout the whole period. I trust her completely with the management of my rental property.
I receive a six-monthly review on the condition of the property and am quickly alerted of anything that requires attention. Most repairs and replacements are dealt with by tradespeople recommended by Pauline. The prices quoted are always reasonable and the work is carried out promptly and efficiently.
I have no hesitation in recommending Amethyst Lettings for its ethical, efficient and professional service.

Pauline and her team are friendly, efficient and really care about your property. I trust them completely to find the right person to rent and to cost effectively look after the things that need to be done. I would 100% recommend this company to anyone.

Amethyst have been looking after our Rugby property for several years now and have consistently offered an excellent service. It has taken a burden off our busy shoulders to know they can be trusted to take care of everything. Pauline and the rest of the office are always quick and friendly in their responses and proactive in dealing with the many aspects of property rental. Many thanks to you all!

I've been working with Pauline and her team for many years. Possibly from the year they started. As a landlord I am very pleased with the service I get from them all. Very happy and would recommend without hesitation
