Rent out office spaces, outbuildings, or your driveway

Depending on the size of your location and how much extra income you are interested in earning, this will help determine what you are going to do. If you have large outbuildings, you have more options to rent out, without anyone entering your home. Whether they rent storage space, office space, a garage, or a workshop, it’s important to make sure the facility is well-maintained and compliant. If your home is at the edge of Wakefield city centre, hospitals or near a train line, it could be ideal for renting out your driveway.

Let your property

Letting your property is a great way to build a secure and prosperous financial future. Using a letting agent, such as Richard Kendall Estate Agent makes the process a lot smoother with a lot less effort. You can choose which level of managed service you like. For example, you may take care of maintenance yourself while we collect the rent and find referenced tenants. You may prefer a round-the-clock maintenance service for your property with a fully managed package. Whether you make a profit on the cost of your mortgage or not does not minimise your long-term return on investment.

Home improvements

As you pay off your mortgage and your home increases in value over the years, it’s earning money. You can accelerate this by improving it. Fitting a new kitchen can add to the value of your home, as well as a new bathroom Simple things can also make a difference. Decorating, improving lighting, and the energy efficiency of your home are also effective ways to add value. Fitting solar panels, and selling excess energy back to your local electricity board, is another canny way to make a few extra pounds from your home.

Our experience with Richard Kendal (or Karen Marijewko) has been absolutely brilliant. Karen has been a great help with advising us on what needs doing, ensuring smooth communications between ourselves and others and even advocating for ourselves when things weren’t going smoothly. We are incredibly grateful for all help and guidance during this time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others. Thank you so much Karen. Sadie 13/01/2025

Of all the people I dealt with during the sale of my property, Elizabeth Cooke was by far the best. Her communication at every stage was excellent, underpinned by a detailed knowledge of every aspect of selling. She always did exactly what she said she would and was indefatigable in chasing up all the other parties in the chain. Her pleasant and friendly manner made conversations a pleasure. Jeff 13/01/2025

Just sold my mother’s house through Richard Kendall. I have to say that they were absolutely superb and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Mandy who dealt with our sale has been absolutely terrific and has taken so much stress out of the process by dealing with all solicitors and other estate agents. I am confident that the sale would not have gone through when it did without her involvement. Matthew 13/01/2025

We put our bungalow up for sale with Richard Kendall Estate Agents … Lucy at the Ossett branch was the lady who dealt with everything. Every viewing, every offer made and finally all aspects of the completion was carried out with a very friendly and professional manner. We would wholeheartedly recommend Lucy at the Ossett branch without a problem. Julie 13/01/2025

The company kept me updated every step of the way. Elizabeth Cooke and Joanne looked after my sale and were so helpful and great to communicate with and most importantly always available. Joe Brooke was always a pleasure to deal with too. Jo 13/01/2025

Thanks to a great team at Richard Kendall, especially Amber who was our dedicated agent for the sale who provided feedback updates and post sales contact. Couldn't have wished for a better sales experience and will definitely use again or recommend. Andrew 13/01/2025

Sarah kept us informed the whole way through the process which was very useful in what turned out to be a rather stressful process, not in any way due to Sarah’s work. She was always responsive via email or followed up with a phone call. Thank you! Sarah 13/01/2025

The Richard Kendall team were fantastic when selling my property. Andy came to the house to take photographs and was professional, friendly and took brilliant photos. Donna and Suzanne were helpful and supportive all the way through, communicating with me and ensuring everything went through smoothly. Louise 13/01/2025
