Welcome... You are in safe hands with us 

  

 

The private rental sector has seen lots of legislative changes during the last few years, with over 150 pieces of legislation to contend with, having a knowledgeable agent on your side is key to a stress-free let. 

Perhaps the most significant planned legislative changes is the Renters Reform Bill & the subsequent  publication of the white paper in June 2022 pertaining to the planned abolishment of section 21 notices. 

 Changes are coming for sure, we so not know the exact timelines but we expect it will be at some point in early to mid 2024 . The Renters reform bill has been in the mainstream media recently, and landlords need to know what is coming.

Established in 2004 by our Director Sally Knights, we have been through some changes ourselves recently and we have re-branded to Albion Knights (from Albion Sales & lettings) and our brand new website will be launching very soon. 

 

We withdrew our property sales service in 2021 to enable us to concentrate 100% on lettings & property management, and we are now one of the very few lettings only agents in Northampton. Our team are based in our offices, located in Wootton NN4, and they are all very familiar with the properties we manage along with our landlords and tenants. Our business has thrived on recommendations since 2004 and going into our 20th year, that’s a trend we are keen to continue.

 

Our mission has always been to put the personal back into property and our reputation is based on your recommendation. We are here to support you every step of the way, let us take the stress out of managing your property & think of us as the cement to your bricks! 

 

We hold comprehensive & total loss client money protection cover and all money belonging to our Landlords & Tenants is processed/held in a ring-fenced client bank account.  We are members of the UK Association of letting Agents (UKALA) & the Property Redress Scheme.

 

The rental market continues to be  extremely busy with demand for rental properties (and asking prices) at an all time high as there is a noticeable shortage in supply of good quality homes for rent.  

 

                                                  

 

                                                  

 Landlords, you can chose our tenant find  or fully managed service

If you understand and are prepared to comply with all the legislation (there’s currently around 150 pieces relating to the private rental sector) then our find tenant only silver service is perfect for you. We will simply advertise your property, complete the pre tenancy checks on the applicants,  draw up a tenancy agreement and then hand it over to you.

Most Landlords prefer an Agent to handle the day to day management of their rented properties. Our full management Gold service is a comprehensive management package where you leave all the hard work to us.
