Property management in Broadstone is our fully managed service for landlords who let a house or bungalow in the suburb and want it looked after for the length of a long family tenancy. It is the Broadstone side of our property management service; the suburb is described on our Broadstone area page.
What managing a Broadstone home involves
The typical managed home here is a detached house or bungalow with a large garden, let to a family who will stay. That changes the job. Instead of frequent changeovers, the work is:
- Planned maintenance. Boiler servicing, gutters, fences, trees and the roof, booked before they fail.
- Inspections. Regular visits with photographs, so small problems are fixed while they are small and the condition is on record.
- Repairs. Local contractors who cover north Poole and Broadstone, with your approval above an agreed limit.
- The relationship. A tenant who knows who to call and gets an answer stays longer and looks after the house.
Compliance on older Broadstone houses
Many homes here were built between the 1920s and the 1980s. Older wiring can fail an EICR, older boilers need watching, and solid walls make an EPC of E or better harder to keep. We keep the gas safety certificate, the EICR, the alarms and the EPC in date and tell you early what work is coming. Our guide to gas and electrical safety for landlords explains each check.
Trees, heath and gardens
Broadstone's planted roads and its edge on the heath bring their own jobs: mature trees close to houses, roots near drains, leaves in gutters every autumn and fences that take the wind. Some trees may be protected, so we check before any work is ordered. A clear line in the agreement on who looks after what avoids most end-of-tenancy disputes.
Rent reviews, arrears and getting the house back
At the time of writing every assured tenancy is periodic. Rent rises once a year by section 13 notice, and a landlord who wants the house back to sell or move into must use a possession ground with the right notice. We review the rent against local evidence, chase any arrears from the first missed payment, and keep the written record a possession claim needs. Our guide to the Renters' Rights Act for landlords sets out the grounds.

The Broadstone property market
Broadstone is a self-contained suburb about four miles north of Poole town centre, built through the 20th century around the shops of the Broadway. It is an owner-occupier market of detached houses and bungalows, where families rent and buy for the schools, the heath and the quiet roads, and where houses that come up to let are taken by households who tend to stay.
Managing a Broadstone let is mostly about looking after a long tenancy well. Tenants here are families and older households who stay for years, so the work is planned maintenance, a good relationship and fair rent reviews rather than a stream of new tenants. Large gardens, mature trees, older boilers and the roofs of 1930s houses and bungalows are the usual jobs.
The Renters' Rights Act raises the stakes. At the time of writing, tenancies are periodic, possession needs a legal ground and rent can rise once a year by section 13 notice with two months' notice. A Broadstone landlord who wants the house back to sell or move into needs the right ground, the right notice and a clean record.
Broadstone is in BCP Council's area. Shared houses are rare here, but BCP's HMO licensing still applies to any that are let to sharers.
Who rents and buys in Broadstone
- Families and schools. Families relocating to Poole look at Broadstone first for the schools, and many rent for a year while they learn the catchments before buying.
- Downsizers and retirees. Bungalows and flats near the Broadway sell to older buyers who want level living, the shops on foot and a bus stop outside.
- People between homes. Local sellers whose sale completes before their purchase, and households out of their homes during repairs, look for a furnished house nearby for a few months.
- Golf and the heath. Broadstone Golf Club, a heathland course, and the trailway and heaths draw buyers who want outdoor space without a seaside price.

Our fees in fullProperty management in Broadstone: questions
What does property management in Broadstone cover?
Rent collection, arrears chasing, inspections, repairs through local contractors, annual gas checks, EICR renewals, deposit protection, tenant contact and the notices the law requires. You approve any repair above the limit you set. Fees are confirmed in writing before you instruct us.
Who looks after the garden in a managed Broadstone house?
The tenancy agreement says. Usually the tenant keeps the garden tidy and the landlord deals with trees, fences and anything structural. We record the garden's condition at the start, check it at inspections and arrange a gardener if the agreement makes it yours.
Can I raise the rent on my Broadstone tenant?
At the time of writing, once a year by a section 13 notice with two months' notice, to a market rent the tenant can challenge at the tribunal. We review the rent against local evidence before serving a notice. This is general information, not legal advice.
How do I get my Broadstone house back to sell?
Section 21 no longer exists. A landlord who intends to sell can use the possession ground for sale, with the notice period and the conditions the Act sets. We explain the grounds and keep the records; a solicitor handles any court claim.
Do older Broadstone houses need extra compliance work?
Often. Older wiring may fail an EICR, older boilers need closer attention, and solid-wall bungalows can struggle with the EPC. We flag the likely work early so it is planned rather than urgent, and tell you if proposed EPC changes could affect the house.

Outstanding from start to finish
The apartment exceeded our expectations with its modern design and thoughtful touches throughout. Walking distance to both the seafront and shopping areas made it incredibly convenient. Clear instructions, responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Bournemouth.
Modern, clean and superbly located
Lovely apartment in very close proximity to Bournemouth town centre and beach. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Onsite parking was a big plus, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
Second stay, and we'll be back
Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
