Rent out office spaces, outbuildings, or your driveway

Depending on the size of your location and how much extra income you are interested in earning, this will help determine what you are going to do. If you have large outbuildings, you have more options to rent out, without anyone entering your home. Whether they rent storage space, office space, a garage, or a workshop, it’s important to make sure the facility is well-maintained and compliant. If your home is at the edge of Wakefield city centre, hospitals or near a train line, it could be ideal for renting out your driveway.

Let your property

Letting your property is a great way to build a secure and prosperous financial future. Using a letting agent, such as Richard Kendall Estate Agent makes the process a lot smoother with a lot less effort. You can choose which level of managed service you like. For example, you may take care of maintenance yourself while we collect the rent and find referenced tenants. You may prefer a round-the-clock maintenance service for your property with a fully managed package. Whether you make a profit on the cost of your mortgage or not does not minimise your long-term return on investment.

Home improvements

As you pay off your mortgage and your home increases in value over the years, it’s earning money. You can accelerate this by improving it. Fitting a new kitchen can add to the value of your home, as well as a new bathroom Simple things can also make a difference. Decorating, improving lighting, and the energy efficiency of your home are also effective ways to add value. Fitting solar panels, and selling excess energy back to your local electricity board, is another canny way to make a few extra pounds from your home.

Wonderful, friendly service from Francesca and the team. Thankyou for making the whole experience from viewing to signing up and getting the keys a 5 Star service. Susan 09/06/2025

Both Donna & Joanne did a wonderful job for me & kept me informed every step of the way. Thank you both. Marilyn 09/06/2025

Roger Hall visited us and gave us a valuation in October, after reviewing other estate agents we agreed to go ahead with Richard Kendall a week later. In the space of just 15 days we had an offer we had accepted on our property. We were buying a new build property with a long lead time (6 months), and Richard Kendall were fantastic in ensuring our prospective buyers (and anyone else in the chain) knew of the situation. I can't fault the speed or communication of the team, particularly Karen Dawson who helped us at every step. Andrew 09/06/2025

Excellent service and very professional. Mandy kept me informed and was very helpful throughout my sale with regular updates , always very happy and honest and it was a pleasure to have Mandy as my negotiator . I will definitely recommend Richard Kendall. David 09/06/2025

We’ve just sold a property with Richard Kendall and couldn’t be happier with the excellent service received from Lucy and the team. Their professionalism and communication throughout was spot on and made the whole process much less stressful. We were also really impressed with their marketing of the property which resulted in lots of viewings, offers and the sale price we wanted. We actually moved to Richard Kendall from another local agent and couldn’t believe the difference in all aspects of the process. Brilliant from start to finish, can’t recommend Lucy and the team highly enough. Lydia 09/06/2025

The entire process of selling my parents' property during a difficult time was handled with exemplary care and professionalism. Amanda and the team at the Wakefield office were fantastic throughout. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and supportive approach made a challenging situation much easier to navigate. Special thanks again to Amanda, Andy and Donna for their invaluable input and assistance. Their expertise and dedication truly stood out. I highly recommend this team for anyone seeking a smooth and supportive property sale experience. Ben 09/06/2025

We sold out flat through Richard Kendall, working mainly with Karen Marijewko and we could not have had a better experience than we did. Karen kept in touch through the full process without any prompting required, she was so supportive and helpful! We really couldn’t have asked for more from the agency in general but especially from Karen. The process wasn’t the smoothest but Karen helped move it along and always kept us in mind to get us the best experience, we are so grateful for everything Karen has done for us! Sarah & Warren 09/06/2025

The support that Liz from the Wakefield office, gave at this time is unmeasurable. Many thanks for going above and beyond and endeavouring to get our sale over the line. Ricahrd 09/06/2025
