My name is Steve Wayne and I’m the Managing Director of Benjamin Stevens Estate Agents.

Many of you are aware of the changing state of the property industry. With interest rates rising and set to rise further, plus with the sales market fluctuating, we have seen a huge increase in the rental market.

The rental market is strong and at present there are far more tenants looking to rent than there are properties available.

This makes it a great time to be or become a Landlord!
