Helen Thring
Marketing & Operations Manager
Helen is Nick’s sister and she successfully set up and established our Lettings Department back in 2013. Having spent much of her career prior to DY working in marketing, Helen now heads up our Marketing & Operations department. This suits her organisational skills, creativity and keen eye for detail perfectly! She loves taking long walks with her Labrador Finn and when time permits, travelling and visiting new places around the globe.
Top of my bucket list is…
To keep travelling, visit more new countries and ultimately, one day explore Europe in a (very comfortable!) camper van.
My guilty pleasure…
Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice cream. Probably best to just not buy it!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
Less shy/more confident. Still working on it…
If I were a superhero, my superpower would be…
To help find a cure for cancer and dementia. Here’s hoping.
On Sunday morning, you can usually find me…
Up bright and early for a long dog walk in the countryside.
You might be surprised to know that…
One of my earliest qualifications as a teenager was as a Clarks trained shoe fitter. Ohh, all those back to school shoes!

Owning a property is never without headaches. At some time or another you will get that call about a burst pipe or broken boiler and unless you have a management agent that will deal with it for you, it’s now your problem. Well, burst pipes and broken boilers are one thing, but what about an escaped boa constrictor?!
Pets in your property can be a hassle. That said, many of us in the UK have dogs or cats we consider to be members of the family and with property lets becoming longer term the need to allow for pets is becoming more widespread. That doesn’t mean you can’t just prohibit pets but, if you do, you may find you restrict your market for new tenants.
A reasonable compromise is to allow for a specific pet, to be defined and identified at the outset and then set rules around this animal. For example, specify where the animal is kept, what happens to it during the day, what happens if it becomes a nuisance to neighbours, who pays for professional cleaning at the end of the tenancy or damage caused during its occupation.
In addition to often requesting a higher deposit, a detailed schedule of condition will allow you to prove any damage incurred by the tenant or their pet.
