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.

Very helpful estate agents thank you Ben 19/11/2024

Joanne and Donna were brilliant at keeping me updated with progress of my house sale. Multiple challenges with the buyers team, but Joanne and Donna worked tirelessly to keep things moving and in my opinion did a lot of the buyers teams work for them. Overall brilliant service that I’d recommend to anyone. Thanks again both for all your help. Regards, David David 19/11/2024

Richard Kendall, and Amanda Holt in particular, were brilliant throughout the whole buying process. As a nervous first time buyer, the regular updates from the lovely Amanda throughout the process were really helpful and put me at ease. Katie 19/11/2024

The service provided by Richard Kendall's has been amazing. Given there was no seamless crossover between having sold my family house and sourcing my new home at the end of my current completion I was eager to reduce the time spent in temporary accommodation. Karen Marijewko was my saviour, her knowledge, experience of the property industry and persistence to ensure everyone was doing what they were responsible for within the process continually were outstanding. Karen's professionalism and they way she managed incompetent solicitors was excellent. She was a great support and I can't thank her enough. Helen 19/11/2024

A smooth professional service with great communication throughout. Richard Kendall really did pull out all the stops over many months to ensure an extremely complicated transaction crossed the line. I'm not sure other agencies would have managed. Highly recommended Nick 19/11/2024

I would like to thank Richard kendall's for the efficient and excellent customer service they provided during the sale of my property. Which helped in what can be a stressful period flow smoothly. I would also like to personally thank and mention staff members, Catherine and Shireen for their regular feedback and their efficiency in dealing with the Solicitors and all other matters concerned during the sale. Mr N Hinchcliffe 19/11/2024

Highly recommended! Big thanks in particular to Amber at Richard Kendall for making my first house purchase easy. Any questions were answered with a lot of guidance, expertise and I was given great advice around areas I was unsure of, and lots of additional help where my solicitor wouldn't answer. As anyone knows, things can drag on, so it was always a pleasure to be met by cheerful and uplifting staff when waiting on hold ups through the chain. Everyone was professional, prompt, and pushed when others held up the chain, I feel like you couldn't ask for more when you know someone is doing their best and helping to chase regularly and keep things moving. It was much appreciated and I'd recommend them to anyone. Thanks so much to Amber and everyone at the company involved! Jonny 19/11/2024
