Rental Property Market Update Summer 2024
While house prices are experiencing modest growth, the rental market continues to see significant rises driven by the imbalance of high demand and limited supply.
We’re a specialist lettings agency built on trust and relationships. You can depend on us to take care of your most valuable asset, while maximising its potential in both the short and long term. It’s all we do, and we do it well.

Having heroically served as a Typhoon pilot in WWII, Howard embarked on a new mission in 1960. With determination, grit and a keen business acumen, he opened the doors to Howard Morley with the support of his sons, and later his granddaughter, to provide lettings services to landlords in Guildford.
Howard’s guiding principles of integrity, continuity, responsibility, authenticity, proactivity, and excellence were woven into the fabric of Howard Morley & Sons and still represent who we are today. His legacy survives through the everyday actions and decisions that define our company’s character.
As we carry forward his vision, we remain committed to upholding the principles he instilled, ensuring that the spirit of Howard Morley & Sons continues to thrive for generations to come.
These are Howard Morley & Sons values. They have been instilled in the business since we opened our doors more than 60 years ago. We believe this is what sets us apart and ensure we have meaningful, long-lasting relationships.

we always try to do the right thing
Continuity
Consistency, longevity, loyalty;
we’re in this for the long haul
Responsibility
Commitment, conscientiousness, reliability;
we hold ourselves personally accountable

Being a lettings professional is a science and an art. On the one hand, we have the skills to market rental properties, attract the best tenants and negotiate on behalf of our clients. On the other hand, we’re meticulous at keeping up-to-date with changing legislation and the complexities that come with letting a property. We all work as a team too. So you’ll always benefit from our combined knowledge and expertise.
