Before you get overwhelmed, take a moment to assess … Continue reading →

Maybe it’s because your costs have gone through the roof since the Government got rid of mortgage interest tax relief… Perhaps rents are rising in your area and you want to keep your property in line with … Continue reading →
Since Big Brother finished airing in 2018, I think it’s safe to say that nobody in the world likes an eviction. Least of all tenants and landlords. But from time to time, as a landlord, you’ll find yourself in the uncomfortable position where you’ve exhausted all your other options, and eviction’s the only way forward. … Continue reading →

We have used Marina and her staff at Owl for some time now and have always found them to be very professional and also very personal. Would definitely recommend them.

Marina you’ve been an amazing asset to our business! Going away on holiday and handing over my emails and phone line to you was an absolute blessing. And when I had to dash to my sick dad last month, you literally took over the reins and said “Go!” I’m so thankful for the respite you gave me that day, I will be forever grateful. To anyone needing a right hand woman, I really recommend Marina. She’s so capable and sensible - I can trust her with my customers.

I was looking to rent my property whilst being stuck abroad. I have always dealt with high street agents who have always been super expensive. I came across Hello Owl and they have been fantastic. Marina has dealt with literally everything and been so helpful. Thank you and I'm so glad I have found Hello Owl

Great communication and always professional
Message from the founder,
I've been working in the estate agency world for a long time now.
In the beginning, while working at the more traditional agencies, I thought that having no time to yourself was part and parcel with owning properties. That’s just what being a landlord meant.
But it really doesn’t have to be. And that’s why I set up my own boutique, bespoke lettings agency to help people like you make the most of their investment: Owl Search.
From there, I created Hello Owl to further support property professionals in their property journey.
These days, Hello Owl allows you to get more of your time back without compromising the standard of your property portfolio.
