It’s one thing taking responsibility for maintenance and repairs at a building that you own, but when you’re the leaseholder of an apartment in a block of flats, the lines for liability can get blurry. How do you know if an issue is your responsibility? How can you tell when it’s something that should be … Continue reading →
So you’ve sprung a leak, or your tenant has at least. Oh crumbs, it’s a pickle. And one that you didn’t expect and don’t particularly want to deal with, let’s face it. But the thing is, when a flood or leak from a neighbouring flat creates damage in your property, it’s highly likely that you’ll … Continue reading →
From time to time you’ll come across damage done to your property. As you can imagine, it’s not the nicest of surprises. But with tenants coming and going as they do, it’s only natural, and it’s something that all landlords should be prepared to face (no matter how irritating it might be). That’s why I’ve … Continue reading →
Accidents happen. Annoying, I know. And especially so when they occur in your property without you even being on the premises. What’s more irksome than an accident though? A cigarette butt in a once-pristine carpet, that’s what. Thing is, picking up the pieces following tenants’ accidents or misuse is just part and parcel with being … Continue reading →
Four months ago you wouldn’t have thought 2020 would be a particularly good year to invest in property. With no idea whether or not you were complying with emergency Coronavirus rules and regulations… No certainty that you’d continue to have regular income from one week to the next, or if your tenants would nip off … Continue reading →
When the UK committed to having net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 a couple of years back, it seemed like we had plenty of time to meet the target. But is 30 years really long enough? Statistics from the automotive industry suggest that we’re way behind the curve in this country, with electric vehicle … 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.
