Planning to sell your home this autumn? Rightmove’s latest figures are worth a look first.

Here’s what’s happening:

The average 2-year fixed mortgage rate is now 5.55%, up from 4.25% in February. That’s around £250 a month more on a typical new mortgage.

Sales agreed are 8% lower than a year ago, and buyer enquiries are down 9%.

There are more homes for sale than at any point at this time of year since 2014.

Put simply, buyers have more choice and less to spend.

If you’re not getting the offers you hoped for, selling now isn’t your only option. Letting your property, either long-term to tenants or short-term to holidaymakers, could help cover your costs while the market settles.

Weighing up your options? Send us a message with the word “OPTIONS” and we’ll get back to you with a free rental estimate for your property. 📩

This post is general information only, not financial advice. Earnings vary by property and location. Please check your mortgage lender’s consent, insurance and local rules before letting.

Rumours are flying about holiday-let tax changes in the Budget. Here's what's actually known, what isn't, and what you can do now.

Nothing has been announced yet, so don't make decisions on a rumour. Check your letting days, talk to your accountant, and follow along: we'll share what the Budget means for owners on 28 October.

Hosting shouldn't feel like a second job.

A good Airbnb property management service should cover the things that eat into your week:

Replies to guests at any hour, with screening before every booking
A hotel-standard clean, fresh linen and a restock after every stay
Check-ins that just work, with someone on hand if a guest can't get in

Before you choose a manager, ask who answers messages at night, who checks the clean, and how you'll see your bookings and income.

At Pass the Keys®, our local teams look after all of it. Get your free income estimate at passthekeys.co.uk

Can't fit a key safe on your building?

Plenty of flats and listed buildings don't allow key safes, but that shouldn't stop you from letting your property. We'll keep your keys secure at a trusted local shop or locker, and every guest gets their own unique code to collect and return them.

Owners know their keys are safe, and guests get a simple, stress-free check-in.
Secure for owners. Smooth for guests.

Get in touch with your local Pass the Keys team to find out more.

Empty homes in England could face council action after 6 months.

The government has announced plans to cut the time a property must stand empty before a council can apply for an Empty Dwelling Management Order, from two years to six months.

If a tribunal grants an order, the council can take over managing the home and rent it out for up to seven years. The owner keeps ownership but loses day-to-day control.

This is still a proposal, and the two-year rule applies for now. Homes used as holiday lets are currently excluded.

If you own a property that's sitting empty, it's worth understanding what this could mean for you. Short-term letting keeps it occupied, earning and in your control.

Had a bad experience with a previous management company or cleaners? We get it.

A poor experience elsewhere can make you cautious about trying again, and we take that seriously.
Here's how we do things at Pass the Keys:

✅ Structured cleaning, every time. Our teams work to a detailed checklist and complete a checkout inspection between every guest stay.
✅ We put our fee on the line. With our Quality Guarantee, if a stay doesn't meet a 4-star standard, we waive our management fee for that booking and investigate what went wrong.*
✅ Someone on the ground. Your local Property Manager is your point of contact, not a call centre.

Tell us what went wrong last time, whether it was cleaning, communication or something else, and we'll talk you through exactly how we do things differently.

Don't just take our word for it. Have a look through our reviews and see the standard for yourself.
