Landlord - 'It's lovely to rent our property to local families and one day pass onto my son'

A popular reason amongst our clients for letting their property is to secure their child's future whilst providing a home to local families in the meantime.

"When the time came for the family to move I decided that the house was in a such a great residential location, ideal for schools and local amenities that it would be a great opportunity to keep it. Knowing that there are very few family homes that come available to rent in the Shepperton area it would be a great investment to keep and rent out so that other families could enjoy. We were lucky to be in a position to be able to keep the property which is not always the case for many people and it’s lovely to have a family home that is always rented and be able to pass the property onto my son who grew up in the house and attended the local schools when the time comes. We have now rented the house for nearly 9 years, all tenancies have been to families with children attending the local schools."


Our client hadn't bought this property as an 'investment', this was their home. Now other families are enjoying the space and it's location and maybe one day our clients son again!

Shepperton's private rental market has changed considerably over the last five years. In 2021, the average monthly rent in Shepperton was £1,380. So far in 2026, that figure stands at £1,968. That is a rise of 42.6%.

Scrolling property portals is useful, but registering with an estate agency can give buyers a more personal, proactive search experience, especially when the right home is about to come to market.

It may feel far too early to think about Christmas, but moving home takes longer than many sellers expect. Starting in July can make the journey calmer and more controlled.

August does not have to be a quiet month for your property search. With the right financial preparation and viewing strategy, summer buyers can uncover opportunities others may miss.
