It is an understatement to say that 2020 has been difficult for many residents in Harrogate including some of our landlords and tenants. Christmas is going to look very different for us all but hopefully community spirit and festive cheer will still shine through. I will definitely be looking to shop and support local more than ever this year and hope that all of the amazing Harrogate independent businesses can survive this uncertain time.
Here at homes4harrogate we have some good news to share with you and hope that you will all give a warm welcome to Carly Dunn who has just joined the homes4harrogate family as Lettings Negotiator. Carly started working with us on the 2nd December and is a huge hit with our clients and applicants, agreeing six lets already! She can’t wait to welcome these tenants into their new homes. We have been very lucky as the rental market has been incredibly busy this year and it is reassuring to see that people are still looking to move and start new tenancies.
With Carly’s arrival Petra Vas was promoted to Property Manager and has been expertly dealing with property maintenance issues and landlord legal compliance. Our electrical contractor is certainly being kept busy doing the Electrical Safety Certificates before they come into force for current tenancies in April 2021. Petra has gone from strength to strength since joining homes4harrogate last year and is a valued member of the team.
On top of that we were also awarded a Best Estate Agent Guide 2021 for Highly Rated Lettings which puts us in the top 20% of all letting agencies nationwide! The nominations and awards were all decided independently by Rightmove based on the quality of our marketing, speed of lets and customer satisfaction. This means a lot to us and we are so pleased that the care we have for our clients and the passion for our job shines through.
I would like to say thank you to all of our current, past and future clients for your support which helps us to flourish in the local Harrogate property market. We couldn’t do it without you and we look forward to helping you in 2021.
From Carly, Petra and myself we wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
