Happy Christmas, one and all!

The Upad office is a festive scene of mince pies and skiving off a bit early today, so we'd just like to say a massive, massive thanks to everyone who's helped to make this year so amazing for us. (It's kinda hard to believe that this time last year, we didn't even have an office!) Hope you have a great day tomorrow. If you need us between Christmas and New Year, we're open from the 29th to...

That was the year that was…

As a year ends every landlord allows themselves a moment of reflection, perhaps by a roaring fire with a nice glass of wine. What has the year been like? What will the year ahead bring? But it feels a bit like Groundhog Day. Last year, it felt like the worst was over and the year ahead promised a mixed bag. That’s exactly how we feel about 2011. A good year for letting? There is good news... Read more

Peeking under the radar

There are reported to be somewhere in the region of 1.5 million private landlords currently operating in the UK fulfilling a basic need to house folk. Renting in the UK is still largely accepted as socially inferior to owning, a firmly-held belief from more class dependant times? It’s not only tenants however. Landlords can’t shake the 'slum landlord' label, even though majority of... Read more
