KRIS MURRELLS

Time for a cuppa? 5 Minutes with Kris Murrells

Kris Murrells is a Senior Lettings Manager based at our Chelmsford office.

At Beresfords, Kris has found a culture where growth and collaboration come first. Working as a close-knit team, we focus on developing together while delivering a smooth, positive lettings experience for both landlords and tenants.

We spoke with Kris to learn more about his role, current property trends, and his advice for investors considering buying a property in Chelmsford.

How would you describe the current rental market in Chelmsford? 

The rental market in Chelmsford is very buoyant, with a strong influx of tenants relocating from London.

What trends are you seeing in investor behaviour right now?

Increasingly, landlords are setting up limited companies to purchase properties as they grow their portfolios, as this can be more tax-efficient.

Are there any neighbourhoods or properties in Chelmsford that are gaining popularity?

One of the standout developments is Beaulieu Park. With the forthcoming Beaulieu Park station, the area is set to become even more attractive to tenants.

What common misconceptions do landlords have about the letting process?

I think that there are some landlords who underestimate the complexity of the letting process. With extensive legislation involved, it is well worth investing the time to find the right letting agent.

What advice would you give to first-time investors in Chelmsford?

Start with a clear investment goal, whether that is capital growth or stronger rental yields. Chelmsford offers a balanced opportunity to achieve both.

For those looking to invest in Chelmsford, what are the key steps they should take to prepare?
