Start-up Leicestershire agent faces down online lettings giants with £49 service
The market for online-only lettings agents has a new player but it’s not one of the usual suspects. Rather than another angel-investor backed tech firm with a London dotcom office peppered with snooker tables and latte machines, step forward Leicester-based Harry Albert Lettings & Estates. The company, which is based in the central Belgrave area of the city and also offers an Airbnb-copycat short-term lettings platform, has launched an OpenRent-style service that enables landlords to upload their properties to OnTheMarket, with listings on Zoopla and Rightmove due later. Harry Albert charges £49 for a listing that will last up to six months, the same price as OpenRent’s paid-for three-month service and less expensive than Upad’s Standard £120 service. Breaking the rules “We decided to launch after we saw larger agents routinely breaking the rules, [so] our intention was to operate nationally but being a small company, we felt we were punching above our weight slightly which is why we’ve opted to cover a smaller area for our other services beyond advertise only,” says Managing Director Andrew Hill (pictured, above). “This allows us to provide a more comprehensive and more personal service to our clients.” Andrew also says he hopes…

Originally introduced by the council in 2012 via a five-year Regulation 7 Direction order, Nottingham has now successfully applied for a second order from Savid Javid’s Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government The extended scheme will come into operation on 19th February. Boards must follow strict design guidelines and can only be erected from January to September each year. Also, only one board per building is allowed, and agents can only erect one board in a street. Nine roads in a mainly student area of the city will now continue to be policed by the new regime, and any agent wishing to put up such a board outside of its rules will require the permission of the council to do so on a case-by-case basis. The decision follows a site visit by a planning inspector to the area affected by ‘board blight’ who agreed with the council that a further five-year control order was needed. The council…
