Property management you can phone and walk to.
Brampton is a strong lettings market. Proximity to Hinchingbrooke Hospital, Huntingdon Station and the A14 keeps the renter pool active and the void periods short. The risk for landlords is being managed by an agency that treats your property as a number on a portfolio, not a home with real tenants in it. That's how avoidable problems compound: missed gas safety checks, slow maintenance response, tenants who don't renew because they can't reach anyone.
We're a smaller, deliberately limited managed portfolio. That means we know every tenant by name, every boiler model and every roof issue. When a tenant rings the out of hours line at 11pm because the heating is out in February, we know which contractor to send and how quickly the property can be warm again. When a Section 13 rent review is due, we've already pulled market rent comparables for the same street.
And we're in Brampton itself, not a satellite office in Cambridge or Peterborough. Inspection visits happen on the way past on the school run. Viewings can often be slotted into evenings or Saturdays. Maintenance contractors are local people we actually know, not a national subcontracting chain. The practical difference shows up in the metrics that matter: shorter voids, longer tenancies, fewer end of tenancy disputes.
The new lettings regime, handled.
Section 21 was abolished on 1 May 2026. All new tenancies are now open ended periodic tenancies under the Renters' Rights Act 2026, with mandatory grounds for possession, the Decent Homes standard, and Section 13 rent reviews replacing the old fixed term renewal model. We've been preparing for this for two years; every tenancy we draft, every rent review, every notice now uses the post Act framework, and we write to all managed landlords whenever there's a substantive change to the regime.

We had a really positive experience selling our property with Villager Homes. From the start, their communication was excellent, we received regular, honest updates and useful feedback throughout the entire process. They did a fantastic job presenting our home. The photos were high quality and really highlighted the best features of the property, and it was clear they took the time to properly understand the house ahead of viewings. What really stood out is that, unlike many estate agents who tend to go quiet unless there’s a viewing, Villager Homes genuinely delivered on their promise to be proactive. We always felt informed and supported, not left wondering what was happening. After the sale was agreed, Ana in particular went above and beyond. She worked incredibly hard to keep us updated on everything happening across the chain, especially during times when communication from other parties was slow or unclear. That made a huge difference and really helped reduce the stress. Overall, we were really pleased with the experience. The whole team were friendly, professional, and consistently went the extra mile to help wherever they could. We’d highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend Villager homes they have been incredible. I viewed a house spontaneously and it was the one for us. They have always been attentive and understanding when we wanted to view a second time. They kept us informed throughout the whole process and were incredibly kind. I worked closely with Ana, and would recommend her to anyone looking purchase within Huntingdon and Brampton. They also work closely with an amazing Mortage broker who despite my circumstances were able to find a solution. Definitely a 5* service, for villager homes, Ana and their close relationship with SJR Mortgages. Great work!

For the last 17 years I have rented a property via the RAF Alconbury Housing Office. Recently they ceased their partnership program and, in a very short period of time, I needed to find an agent to manage the house moving forward. Villager Homes have provided me with a truly wonderful service: co-ordinating the previous tenants move out; organising tried, tested and exemplary tradesmen to conduct thoughtful and thorough maintenance; advertising the property on multiple channels leading to much interest and new tenants within a matter of weeks. Their subsequent move in was managed wholly by Villager Homes – updates, paperwork and finances provided but a truly hands off experience - I live 100 miles away and knowing the property and the tenants’ requirements are looked after so effectively provides great peace of mind. Kye and Fiona have personally put in a supreme effort and a great deal of hard work. I couldn’t be happier with Villager Homes management approach and the relationship that has developed. My only regret is I should have asked them to manage the property years ago.

Common questions from landlords.
What are your letting fees in Brampton?
We offer three service tiers. Tenant Find only: 10% + VAT (one off, deducted from first month's rent). Rent Collection: 12% + VAT (ongoing monthly). Fully Managed: 15% + VAT (ongoing monthly). All three include a one off setup fee of £795 + VAT covering inventory, EPC liaison, deposit registration, AML checks and tenancy paperwork. No mark ups on maintenance and no hidden renewal fees.
Are you Renters' Rights Act 2026 compliant?
Yes. Section 21 was abolished on 1 May 2026 and the periodic tenancy regime is now the default for all new ASTs. Every tenancy we set up uses the post Act framework: open ended periodic tenancies, Section 13 rent reviews, the new mandatory grounds for possession, and the Decent Homes standard. We update all clients in writing when the rules change.
Do tenants pay any fees?
Only what the Tenant Fees Act 2019 explicitly permits: a holding deposit of one week's rent (offset against the first month), a security deposit (capped at five weeks' rent for rents under £50,000/year), and the first month's rent. No application fees, no admin fees, no referencing fees, no check in or check out fees.
How are deposits protected?
We use the DPS Custodial Scheme. The deposit sits with the government backed scheme, not with us, for the duration of the tenancy. Both landlord and tenant get the prescribed information within 30 days of tenancy start, as required by the Housing Act 2004.
How quickly will my Brampton property be let?
Most correctly priced Brampton rentals are let within 2 to 4 weeks of listing. Family homes near Brampton Village Primary School go fastest; bedsits and small flats take longer. We run viewings in clusters where possible so you choose between candidates rather than committing to the first applicant.
What's a 'Fully Managed' service?
We handle everything end to end so you don't have to: rent collection, monthly statements, gas/EICR/EPC compliance scheduling, mid tenancy inspections, maintenance triage, contractor management, deposit handling at end of tenancy, and dispute resolution if needed. You get one named property manager and an out of hours emergency line for tenants.
Can you let my buy to let in Brampton if I live abroad?
Yes. Most of our managed portfolio is for non resident landlords. We're set up for Non Resident Landlord (NRL) tax handling, can deduct withholding tax where required, and report annually to HMRC. We're also able to act as your UK based representative for legal correspondence under the Renters' Rights Act regime.
Are you regulated?
Yes. We're members of The Property Ombudsman for independent redress, hold Client Money Protection through Client Money Protect (CMP), are Trading Standards Approved, and use the DPS Custodial Scheme for tenant deposits. Company number 08965831, registered in England and Wales.
