Being a landlord in today’s market comes with both opportunities and challenges. Whether you’re renting out your first property or managing a growing portfolio, the key to success lies in strategic management, tenant relationships, and staying ahead of market trends.

At Brikk, we understand the rental landscape inside and out. Our goal is to support landlords with expert advice, efficient management, and an approach that prioritises long-term value over quick fixes. Here are some top tips to ensure your rental property remains profitable, well-maintained, and stress-free.

Know your market & price right

Setting the right rental price is crucial. Overpricing can lead to long void periods, while under-pricing means missing out on potential revenue. Research local rental trends and consider getting a professional valuation. At Brikk, we provide realistic and strategic rental valuations to help you attract the right tenants quickly.

Find the right tenants

A great tenant can make all the difference. Conduct thorough referencing, including credit checks, employment verification, and rental history. Our team at Brikk ensures that landlords have peace of mind by carrying out rigorous vetting processes while maintaining a fair and welcoming approach to tenants.

Keeping your property well maintained

Regular maintenance prevents costly issues down the line. A well-kept property not only attracts better tenants but also reduces void periods. Simple upgrades like fresh paint, modern lighting, and well-maintained outdoor spaces can significantly impact desirability. We help landlords stay proactive with trusted maintenance teams and regular property checks.

Stay legally compliant

Landlord regulations are always evolving, from EPC requirements to safety checks and tenancy agreements. Staying compliant isn’t just about avoiding fines—it also builds trust with tenants and ensures a smooth tenancy. Our team at Brikk keeps landlords updated on legal obligations and ensures properties meet all current standards.

Consider professional management

While some landlords prefer a hands-on approach, professional management can save time, reduce stress, and optimise profitability. From handling tenant queries to managing repairs and renewals, our property management services at Brikk allow landlords to enjoy passive income without the day-to-day hassle.

Be proactive about tenant retention

A long-term, happy tenant is more valuable than frequent turnover. Building good relationships, responding to maintenance requests promptly, and reviewing rent increases fairly can encourage tenants to stay longer, reducing costly void periods and re-letting fees.

Adapt to market trends

The rental market is constantly shifting, influenced by economic conditions, demand for short-term lets, and tenant preferences. Keeping an eye on emerging trends—such as eco-friendly properties, furnished rentals, or pet-friendly lets—can give landlords a competitive edge. At Brikk, we provide market insights to help landlords make informed decisions.
