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.

I had no experience in buying a house the staff namely Amber helped me every step of the way. Always upbeat and happy to answer any questions. Thank you. Customer 2 01/08/2025

Karen Marijewko was amazing from start to finish, always at the end of the phone and kept me in the loop at every stage! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen and Richard Kendall to anyone! The only downside was as I don't live in Wakefield I went with a solicitor they recommended and I had to keep chasing them! I would recommend doing your research into the conveyancing! Richard 01/08/2025

Having had a disastrous experience elsewhere, we turned to Richard Kendall Wakefield for help in selling our property. Their whole team were nothing but professional excellence from beginning to end with our property being processed from market to completion in a little less than 6 months. Special thanks to Cathrine and Shireen for their care and attention to detail with excellent communication at every stage of the process. THANKYOU ALL Team Wakefield. John 01/08/2025

Don't look elsewhere for an agent to sell your property. A big thank you to Karen Marijewko for being very proactive and keeping us informed on the sale of our house. We were lucky enough to have a smooth sale, but nonetheless made even easier with Karen's knowledge and helpful advice. In Karen's absence when on holiday etc, the Kendall team were able to help us with any enquiries, a really good team spirit within the company. Additionally, we'd like to say thank you to Danny who valued our property, and Andy the photographer, both were amazing in getting our property listed. We would highly recommend Kendalls to anyone looking to sell their property. Sonya 01/08/2025

All I can say is thank goodness for Amanda at the Pontefract branch! That woman has the patience of a saint and works tirelessly Fantastic commentator, genuine empathy and has supported us every step of the way with our sale If only every service provider worked like this then life would be a lot easier! Thanks Amanda for all your hard work!! Claire 01/08/2025
