Same Trusted Team
Hi there, welcome to our blog! I’m Pippa Mitchell & this is my partner, in life & business, Benoit Gallaga. With over 25 years of combined experience of property lettings, management & hospitality in Prime Central London, and our own investment portfolio, our business, Pippa & Benoit, modernises property letting and management in Prime Central London for investors.
We want to share three important topics related to landlord and tenant law that have recently been announced.
The UK Government proposed the Renters Reform Bill in May 2023, which plans to deliver "once-in-a-generation" reforms that aim to deliver "safer, fairer, and higher quality homes".
So what does this mean for Landlords? And what does this mean for tenants?
In Q2 2023, we focused on growth and re-opening our Mayfair short-let building with three exciting steps forward we have made.
1) We are officially 7 years old!
2) We are marketing a stunning Belgravia mews house
3) We’re achieving an average of 85%
In Q1 2023 Report, we focused on re-branding, growth, and investment and made three exciting changes.
1) We re-launched our website
2) We hired a digital marketing assistant
3) We are acquiring two new investment projects to renovate, let and manage here in London
We are small but mighty! 💪 The level of customer service Pippa & Benoit are able to provide is incomparable to a larger beast of a business. This is our USP!
We focus on understanding our Clients’ needs, building rapport and a relationship on a more personal level with our clients, who in turn trust us to always deliver a five-star level of service.
Recently in the UK, it’s come to light that a landlord’s property was sold without his consent or knowledge. Through one simple form HM Land Registry will put a restriction on your title deed, meaning that a sale can’t be registered on your property’s title deed without your lawyer’s authorisation. This means your property can’t be sold without your lawyer’s consent. Problem solved.
As winter approaches, it’s important that properties are well-prepared to manage the unique challenges that the season presents. At Pippa & Benoit the team ensures that winter preparations are top of our list. We understand the importance of safeguarding your properties during the colder months and we're happy to share with you key insights and expert tips to help you effectively manage the potential risks associated with winter.
Pippa and Benoit’s hands-on approach eliminates the risk of unauthorised sub-letting and gives investors confidence their properties are in safe hands 24/7. We are happy to have recently been introduced to UMBRA International and are excited to share their business with you.
Summer 2023 was undoubtedly the best season since 2019 when it comes to occupancy, rates per night and income, as well as a near 100% 5-star review track record, which we are especially proud of.
To celebrate we are sharing some data on this summer’s Prime Central London short-let returns and achievements with you, our business community.
