London-based letting agency Target Location is offering landlords the opportunity to let their properties for free throughout December.

Any landlord that instructs their property with Target Location, which operates across the whole of London, will benefit from a free tenant find service. Target Location also do not charge renewal fees if the tenant stays beyond the initial contract, as standard.

The tenant find package includes professional photography, videos, virtual tours and floor plans, as well as advertising of the landlord’s property on the main property portals.

Ben Couper, director of Target Location, said: “It’s been a ridiculously tough year, that’s why we want to spread some cheer this Christmas and help landlords occupy their properties for free.

“With landlords able to save thousands of pounds in fees with a free letting package, some of the savings could even be passed on to tenants.”

“It has been a difficult year for everyone and many landlords will have been feeling the effects of the pandemic with higher rent arrears and increased financial uncertainty.

“This is also against a backdrop of tougher buy-to-let conditions in recent years as landlords’ margins have been squeezed due to government policies such as the removal of buy-to-let mortgage interest tax relief and an additional 3% stamp duty surcharge.”
