We are delighted to share that Partridge Homes has recently been featured in Letting Agent Today, one of the UK’s leading trade publications for the lettings industry. The article covers our growth plans for 2026, our expanding partnerships with local estate agents, and the values that have driven our progress since the business was founded.

What the Article Covers
The Letting Agent Today feature focuses on some significant milestones for the business:
- A record 215 new tenancies were completed in 2025 — the highest annual figure in the company’s history at that point.
- For 2026, we have set a target of 365 new lettings — one per day — across the year, representing a 70% increase on that record.
- We currently manage a portfolio of 500 tenancies, and this number continues to grow.
- Two Solihull estate agents have already partnered with us to fully outsource their lettings divisions to Partridge Homes, and we are currently in advanced talks with a third.
Charlotte Partridge is quoted in the article saying: “Our long-term commercial success is based on a bedrock of traditional family values and delivering on our promises.” That ethos — keeping landlords and tenants genuinely happy — is what has produced consistent, year-on-year growth.
What Outsourced Lettings Means for Local Estate Agents
One of the most significant developments highlighted in the article is our growing role as a lettings partner for estate agents across Solihull. Running a lettings division requires specialist knowledge, dedicated staff, up-to-date compliance procedures, and a great deal of day-to-day resource. For many sales-focused estate agents, it is not their core business.
By partnering with Partridge Homes, local agents can hand over the management of their lettings book entirely — confident that their landlords and tenants will receive a professional, attentive service. The agent retains the client relationship; we handle everything else.
If you are an estate agent considering this kind of arrangement, we would be very happy to have a conversation. Two of our current partners have already seen the benefits, and a third partnership is in progress.
What This Growth Means for Landlords in Solihull
For landlords, growth of this kind matters for a straightforward reason: it signals that a letting agent is doing things right. Landlords do not move their properties to a new agent without good reason, and tenants do not renew without a positive experience. Sustained growth — particularly growth driven by referrals and partnerships rather than advertising spend — reflects a business that delivers on its commitments.
Our current managed portfolio sits at 500 properties, and we aim to expand that significantly throughout 2026. Whether you are a landlord with a single property or a larger portfolio, the level of attention and communication you receive from us does not change.
Key things landlords can expect from Partridge Homes:
- Proactive communication at every stage of a tenancy
- Transparent, straightforward fee structures
- Thorough tenant referencing and vetting
- Compliance support, including deposit protection and safety certificates
- A team that knows the Solihull rental market in detail
We were recently named among the best letting agents in Shirley and Solihull for 2026 — further recognition that the approach we take is working.
Why Press Coverage Like This Matters
Being featured in a respected industry publication such as Letting Agent Today is not something we take lightly. Editorial coverage of this kind is independent — it is not advertising, and it is not paid for. A journalist or editor decided that our story was worth covering and sharing with their readership.
For landlords and estate agents researching letting agents in the area, this kind of third-party recognition provides a level of reassurance that a website or social media post simply cannot replicate. It tells you that what we say about ourselves is consistent with what others say about us.
A Family Business Built on Consistency
What sets Partridge Homes apart is not just the numbers — it is the way we operate. As a family business, we are not driven by short-term targets or a need to impress investors. Every decision we make is guided by whether it is the right thing for the landlords and tenants we work with.
That consistency is what has taken us from a standing start to managing 500 properties, and it is what will take us to 365 new lettings in 2026. We are proud of the progress we have made, and we are grateful to Letting Agent Today for helping us share it with a wider audience.
If you are a landlord looking for a letting agent in Solihull, or an estate agent interested in outsourcing your lettings division, we would love to hear from you. Get in touch with the Partridge Homes team today — we are happy to answer any questions and explain how we work.
