Platinum Estates is an independent property sales and lettings agency, based in Cockfosters, Barnet. Our record of success has been built upon a single-minded desire to provide our clients with a top-class personal service, delivered by highly motivated and trained staff. Our primary objective is to provide private landlords with quality tenants in as short a time as possible while achieving the highest possible rental price for you. For those who have residential properties and wish to make an income from them, then letting out that property can be - if managed correctly - a very useful source of income. With a growing population and a shortage of properties, there’s something of a housing crisis in the UK and house prices continue to rise, usually beyond the budget of a first-time buyer. Renting allows for someone to save for a deposit to buy a property in the future, whilst having a place to call their own. Also, lifestyles are more flexible these days, and people often look to rent places which are in a convenient location to their place of work or study. So with rental places in high demand, letting a property is a good way for a landlord to earn an extra income. Every month, you'll receive a fee which should be enough to cover any mortgage outstanding on the property, allowing you to hold on to the property as it continues to gain value.
