Monkey vs Owl Expands in line with high HMO demand

Residential lettings company and HMO specialist, Monkey vs Owl, has expanded its team in response to the growing demand for flexible rented accommodation across the East Midlands. Holly Edmunds, who has more than ten years’ experience in residential lettings, has joined the firm from Scargill Mann in Derby. She said: “The residential lettings market in the East Midlands is soaring at present. This was initially because of the increase in young people and adults from both the UK and overseas taking up university places after all the disruption during the pandemic. “Now we are working to match landlord’s properties with young professionals who are attracted by the flexibility and affordability of HMO accommodation in the next stage of their careers. “It is great to be part of a growing, vibrant company who have embraced innovations in technology to provide a dynamic and paperless process that responds quickly to both landlords and tenants. “It’s a breath of fresh air in the residential lettings market and I am excited to be part of the next generation evolution of our profession.” Latest statistics on the Rightmove platform show Monkey vs Owl as having a 22% share of the Derby lettings market.
