YOUR lettings properties in safe hands

March 2025

The lettings sector is a very crowded marketplace and it can be baffling for a landlord to select the correct agent to manage their property portfolio.

It can be tempting to “go it alone” and manage your properties yourself, but with increasingly complex and time-consuming legislation that can be less appealing and costly.

Later this year the Renters Rights Bill will come into law ushering in a number of changes to how properties can be let out.

Without proper guidance from knowledgeable lettings practitioners’, it would be easy for landlords to fall foul of the new legislation and potentially face hefty fines.

Fortunately, Ben Goodyear, who heads up Greenslade Taylor Hunt’s Barnstaple lettings department has decades of experience in the property sector and can help navigate the best path for you whether you are new to the industry or are an experienced landlord.

With his strong track record he is ideally placed to help landlords with their property management requirements.

He began his career in property in the West Midlands, but was drawn to relocate to North Devon having spent happy family holidays in the area as a child and more recently visiting friends living in Barnstaple.

He loves what the area has to offer – the perfect combination of urban and beach life.

Outside of work Ben enjoys walks with his Border Collies and kayaking.

The lettings department at 4 Cross Street, Barnstaple, is well-established and serves families and professionals looking for rental homes in the town and beyond.

Many renters are staff working at North Devon District Hospital, who are looking for long-term lets. This is also good news for landlords who have the security of a lengthy tenancy taken up by professional tenants.

There is plenty of demand from tenants looking for all types of properties in Barnstaple and the surrounding area from one bed flats to family homes.
