Here’s a small snapshot of what we’ve been up to recently!📍

The new legislation marks a distinct shift in expectations around how private renting is run.

The Renters’ Rights Act is reshaping how key actions are handled:
🔹 Rent increases now follow the formal Section 13 process.
🔹 Possession relies on the correct legal grounds, supported by evidence.
🔹 Ongoing compliance from documentation to notices must be maintained throughout.

It’s not just about knowing the rules, it’s about applying each step correctly and being able to evidence it.
Clear processes, accurate records and early advice will matter more than ever.

For many landlords, these changes are manageable but only if they are approached proactively.

We’ve already adapted our management processes to reflect this shift.

Are you prepared for the change?

First impressions matter, but consistency is what people remember.

Spaces like this don’t stay this way by chance. They’re checked, maintained and managed properly so the experience is the same every day, not just on day one.

When details are looked after, everything else runs smoother — for occupiers, visitors and everyone in between.

Yes — it’s that time of year again.
The cold’s back, temperatures drop, boilers start working harder… and the winter call-outs have already started. ❄️

The most common issues we see at this time of year are…

• 🔥 Uneven radiator heat
• 🚿 No hot water
• ⚠️ Boiler cutting out
• 🔊 Kettling / banging noises

Most of these come down to one thing: heating systems under strain that haven’t been serviced early enough.

And when the heating fails, it’s not just inconvenient, landlords have a legal duty to sort it quickly.
Delays can lead to damp, mould and formal complaints.

Remember Prevention is always cheaper than emergency call-outs and bit of proactive maintenance NOW usually saves a lot of stress (and expense) in January.

It’s just winter — these things happen.
The difference is how quickly they’re handled.

Most landlords don’t realise but there are strict legal timelines around deposit protection.

It’s often assumed that lodging the deposit is enough.
In reality, this is one of the most common issues we see when we take over management.

If the deposit isn’t protected correctly and the prescribed information isn’t served within 30 days, a tenant can make a claim — even years later.

That claim can be 1–3x the deposit, plus the original deposit returned.

A small detail, with a big consequence.

We check this as standard for every property we manage, so everything is covered properly from day one — and landlords avoid surprise claims down the line.

Is your tenant’s deposit fully protected?

Section 21 is nearing its end — are you ready to adapt?

The government’s plans to abolish Section 21 are moving closer, changing the way landlords can regain possession of their properties.

While the finer details are still being finalised, what’s clear is that landlords will need stronger systems in place from robust tenancy agreements and clear communication records to rent protection and legal cover that actually work.

At Northmode, we’ve already started preparing our landlords for the changes ahead ensuring every tenancy is protected, compliant and backed by the right safeguards, including Rent Guarantee Insurance for added peace of mind.

These changes mark a real shift in how tenancies are managed, but with the right systems and protection in place, landlords can stay in control — not caught off guard.

If you’re unsure how the changes could impact you, or want advice on protecting your rental income, get in touch to plan ahead with confidence.

❓ How does Rent Guarantee Insurance actually work for landlords?

Rent Guarantee Insurance acts as a safety net giving landlords peace of mind by covering unpaid rent and legal costs when things go wrong with a tenancy.

From referencing to claims, there’s a clear process. The key is having the right cover in place before issues arise.

When you choose a Rent Guarantee Insurance policy with Northmode, you’ll benefit from:

🔒 Up to 15 months’ rent covered (including during the eviction process)
⚖️ Legal expenses covered – including Section 8/21 notices, court costs and solicitor fees
👨‍⚖️ Eviction support – legal team handles proceedings if needed
📅 Ongoing cover – while possession is being sought
📂 A simple, supported claims process from start to finish

We recommend this cover for any landlord who can’t afford gaps in income especially in today’s market.
With changing legislation, the upcoming abolition of Section 21 and growing pressure on landlords, this protection can make a real difference.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SPECIFICATION FOR YOUR RENTAL 🏡

The most successful rental properties require minimal maintenance, stay looking current, and appeal to the best tenants. So when you’re choosing fittings, think ‘timeless’ and ‘durable’ for everything.

🏠 Flooring: Timber or tiles are more hardwearing than carpets, less prone to stains and easier to replace when sections get damaged.

🏠 Kitchens & Bathrooms: Opt for high-quality taps in brushed steel or chrome, and use natural timber or matt finishes for cupboards instead of delicate high-gloss lacquers that are hard to repair.

🏠 Walls: Use washable paint in soft neutral tones that will work with any décor. It’s warmer than brilliant white and minimises the need for redecorating between tenancies.

Investing in the right specification means fewer repairs, faster lets, and better tenants. It’s about saving money long-term while keeping your property appealing.

Grateful for 5 star reviews like this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️— and even more grateful for long-standing clients who know we’ve got them covered. 🧡

Jill and Sean’s building had gone through multiple agents before they came to us — and the trust had worn thin.

Our job isn’t just about invoices and maintenance — it’s about showing up, being consistent and giving residents peace of mind. ✅

Did you know?
A vacant property can cost more than a managed one.

This flat had been sitting empty for nearly 3 months before the landlord decided enough was enough.

They’d been handling things themselves — juggling enquiries, viewings and compliance — but it just wasn’t shifting.
By the time they came to us, they were already down over £2,400 in lost rent.

We took over, refreshed the listing, handled the compliance and got a tenant in within two weeks.

👉 When your property’s vacant, the costs don’t pause.
Council tax, utilities, insurance — they all keep adding up.
A good managing agent doesn’t just find tenants — they protect your investment.

If you’re finding it hard to let, or you’re just tired of handling everything on your own — we can help you.

[Northmode | Property Management @northmode33]

We recently carried out a site survey for a block that wanted to leave their current managing agent.
Here’s what we found:

• Gutters overflowing — never cleared
• Fire risk assessments out of date
• Broken entry gate left unreported
• Service charge account with no clarity or control

This isn’t unusual.
When block management gets ignored, it shows — in the building, the budget, and the resident satisfaction.

We worked with the directors to put things back on track — quickly and calmly.
If your block feels like it’s falling through the cracks, let’s talk.

#RTMHelp #BlockManagementDoneRight #ManchesterBlocks #DirectorSupport #LeaseholdManagement

[Northmode | Property Management @northmode33]

It’s more than logging a repair and sending out a newsletter.

A good block manager:
✔️Oversees compliance without delay
✔️Maintains the building proactively
✔️Manages the service charge account with full transparency
✔️Communicates clearly with directors and leaseholders
✔️Plans ahead — not just reacts

Done right, block management should make your job easier — not harder.

#BlockManager #RTMSupport #NorthmodeProperties #LeaseholdAdvice #BuildingManagement #DirectorHelp #ManchesterBlocks

[Northmode | Property Management @northmode33]

Not all block managers are made equal — and a poorly run building can cause real headaches for leaseholders and residents. So how do you spot the signs?

Red flags to look out for:
🚩Common areas left dirty or unsafe
🚩Broken lighting or security issues
🚩Confusing or late service charge accounts
🚩Slow or no response to issues
🚩No visible site inspections or updates

A good managing agent should be proactive, transparent and responsive — not just reactive when something goes wrong.

At Northmode, we don’t just tick boxes. We manage each block like we live there ourselves.

Every landlord knows there’s more to running a successful buy-to-let than just handing over the keys and watching the rent roll in.

One of the biggest expenses you’ll face?
Maintenance.
But how much should you actually be setting aside?

A good rule of thumb is to budget around 1% of your property’s value per year — or 10–15% of annual rental income. That covers things like leaks, repairs, appliance issues and general wear and tear.

It’s not always fun money to spend — but skipping it usually ends up costing more in the long run.

Keeping on top of the basics goes a long way — for your property, your tenants and your peace of mind.

Every new let starts with one goal — to hand over a property that’s ready to move into.
Simple things make the difference. Clean surfaces, working taps and a place that feels looked after.
