Partridge Homes – Proud, Local and Independent

🏡 PARTRIDGE HOMES – PROUD, LOCAL & INDEPENDENT

The Midlands lettings market continues to change. Another respected independent – 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗞𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 – has now been sold, meaning yet another family-run name leaves the high street.

Many landlords tell us they miss the personal, local, and human approach that independents brought to property management.

👉 At Partridge Homes, nothing has changed.
We are still 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝘂𝗻,
Still 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁,
Still 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗵𝘂𝗹𝗹 / 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹,
And still focused on people, not just process.

🤝 WORKING WITH LOCAL BUSINESSES — NOT AGAINST THEM
When Smart Homes and Xact Homes stepped away from lettings, landlords told us they wanted the independent style of service back.

That’s why Partridge Homes now partners closely with them for lettings.
Collaboration beats competition.
Local businesses supporting each other ultimately supports local landlords and tenants.

Q&A With 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 – Lettings Specialist

❓ Why should I choose a local independent letting agent?
Because you receive personal and consistent service.
You speak to people who know your property and your tenants.

📞 Do independent letting agents communicate better?
Most landlords say yes.
No call centres.
No repeating the same information.
Just real people who care about the result.

📍 Do independents understand the local rental market better?
Yes — independents live in and understand the community.
We know which streets rent fastest, which schools drive demand, and what tenants want right now.

⚡ Are corporate letting agencies less flexible than independent?
Corporate processes can take longer.
Independents act fast because decisions are made in the room — not the region.

⭐ Do independent agents care more about reputation?
Absolutely.
Our brand is personal.
Your success is our success.
Independent means accountable service.

Landlords want:

✔ To feel valued

✔ Quicker decisions
✔ Staff that stay

Yes.
Independence means choosing the best tools, not the cheapest at scale.

📈 Will an independent agent negotiate better for me?
We negotiate like it’s our own asset.
We are not driven by hitting corporate targets.
We focus on the best agreement, not the fastest agreement.

🧱 WHY INDEPENDENCE STILL MATTERS
As more agencies decide to sell, independence remains important for landlords who value:

👤 Familiar faces
