They say ignorance is bliss and that’s never been so true as when your tenant’s been subletting your property on the sly. But what do you do if such naughty behaviour does come to your attention? How are you going to handle the situation, keep rental income ticking over and stay on the right side … Continue reading →
You find your tenants, you do the references, you make the tenancy agreements, you move them in. The rent arrives on time every month, the property’s in good nick. When everything is dandy and nothing seems to be going wrong, subletting is something you might want to push to the back of your mind. My … Continue reading →
Selling your rental to make room for new opportunities? It happens all the time. But when you’ve got tenants living in there right now? The sale won’t be quite so simple as whacking your property on Rightmove and seeing what happens. The good news is that you can keep complications to a minimum throughout the … Continue reading →
Whether you’re a full-time landlord or a hands-off investor, there’s one thing that’s guaranteed. You want your tenants to pay their rent. On time. Every month.

Dripping flats are awkward enough to deal with when the leak’s coming from somewhere else. But when the leak’s sprung in your property and it’s damaging the flat below? That’s another kettle of fish. So what can you do to minimise damage and maintain relationships with the neighbours? And how can you be sure the … Continue reading →
Bleurgh. Damp. Not only does it smell horrible, but if it’s left too long, it can look dreadful too. Not good news if you ever want to find a new tenant again. Nor if you want to keep the current tenants happy either – even if they are the ones who’ve allowed your property to … Continue reading →

what our clients are saying

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.

We started working with Marina, super impressive so far.

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.
