VISITORS to this year’s Royal Welsh will be amongst the first to find out about a new range of letting management and leasing options being offered to landlords in Carmarthenshire.
Gosod Syml – Simple Lettings will be officially launched early Autumn, part of Carmarthenshire County Council’s ambitious commitment to provide 1,000 more affordable homes by 2021.
The new social lettings agency will offer three packages, giving property developers and landlords a full range of services and incentives to let their homes to people in most need.
For the first time, the council will be leasing homes from property owners, effectively growing its housing stock.
Incentives will be made to people who own empty homes in areas of high housing need, and those who own the type of properties in highest demand from people on the council’s housing register.
The Gosod Syml – Simple Lettings team will be at the council’s marquee on Tuesday July 25, day two of the Royal Welsh, where Carmarthenshire is featuring as the host county.
Those who have property in the county and want to find out more about long-term solutions to let them out are encouraged to pop along and get more information.
Cllr Linda Evans, Executive Board Member for Housing, said: “We are excited about launching Gosod Syml – Simple Lettings in the early autumn. The Royal Welsh is an ideal chance to give Carmarthenshire landlords and property owners an early opportunity to find out more.
“We made our affordable homes commitment last year, and we are being ambitious in the range of ways we will meet our target.
“We have thousands of people in need of affordable housing in Carmarthenshire. Gosod Syml – Simple Lettings will not only benefit them, but landlords and property owners who want sustainable, long-term, hassle-free options to let their homes and generate income.”
· Gosod Syml – Simple Lettings will be officially launched in September. To speak with a member of the team, or to register interest, visit the council’s marquee at Avenue D of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show. Alternatively, email simplelettings@carmarthenshire.gov.uk, or call 01554 899499.
