A Positive Shift in the Rental Market: How CGT Lettings Is Supporting Landlords and Tenants Across Gloucestershire
The rental market across Gloucestershire continues to evolve — and at CGT Lettings, we’re helping landlords and tenants navigate that change with confidence.
With a network of well-established offices in Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury, Stroud, and Quedgeley, CGT Lettings is uniquely placed to deliver expert local knowledge backed by professional consistency. We’re seeing strong rental demand and encouraging returns for landlords, despite wider economic challenges. At the same time, our tailored support for tenants is helping more people find homes they can be proud of.
A Regional Market Overview
Here’s what we’re seeing on the ground across our branches:
Cheltenham
- The demand for quality rental homes remains high, particularly for one- and two-bedroom apartments close to the town centre, business parks, and transport links. Professional tenants are driving growth, and landlords with well-maintained properties are seeing excellent returns with minimal voids
Gloucester
- A standout opportunity continues to be the HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) sector. While highly regulated, HMOs in Gloucester offer excellent yields for landlords willing to invest in compliance and good management.
- At CGT, we’re supporting this sector by:
- Managing the full licensing process
- Advising on layout and refurbishment to maximise room rents
- Ensuring ongoing compliance with fire safety, planning, and local authority standards
Behind the scenes, our team is working closely with local authorities and landlords to ensure Gloucester’s HMO sector remains compliant, high-quality, and profitable.
Tewkesbury
- Tewkesbury is experiencing a notable uptick in demand for both long-term and short-term rental accommodation. A major contributing factor is the opening of the Cotswold Designer Outlet — a significant development attracting increased footfall, tourism, and employment opportunities to the area.
- This growth is putting added pressure on the traditional rental market while also driving stronger demand for short-stay and holiday lets.
- In response, CGT is investing heavily in our Tewkesbury team to meet this demand — expanding capacity, enhancing marketing, and working with landlords to unlock the potential of both residential and short-term lets.
Stroud
- Known for its independent spirit and green credentials, Stroud continues to attract lifestyle renters looking for charm, nature, and community. Family homes and eco-conscious rentals are in high demand — and with the right presentation and management, landlords are enjoying excellent occupancy rates.
Quedgeley & Kingsway
- One of the fastest-growing areas in the county, Quedgeley & Kingsway attracts a mix of young professionals and families, drawn by new housing, local amenities, and excellent access to the M5. Our dedicated local team provides tailored support in what is a dynamic and rapidly evolving sub-market.
Supporting Landlords: Protection, Performance, and Peace of Mind
We know that successful letting starts with proactive, reliable support. That’s why CGT is focused on delivering value and protection to every landlord, including:
- Fast Lettings, Minimal Voids
Our pre-qualified applicant database and dedicated lettings team ensure properties are marketed quickly and effectively — often let before hitting the portals. - Rent and Damage Protection
Our in-house Rent & Legal Protection and Damage Protection Plan are designed to give landlords peace of mind, with no excess, prompt legal action when needed, and protection for both income and asset value. - Expert Compliance Advice
From EPC upgrades to new legislation like the Renters Reform Bill, we’re helping landlords stay ahead of the curve — protecting their investment and reputation. - Strategic Asset Support
Whether reviewing yields, converting a property to HMO use, or identifying opportunities for capital growth, our team is here to provide guidance and support at every stage.
Helping Tenants Find Their Next Home
As affordability pressures rise, tenants need more than a listing — they need guidance, support, and clarity. At CGT Lettings, we’re working hard to:
Streamline the Application Process
- Our Tenant Success Team offers guidance with paperwork, affordability checks, and referencing to give applicants the best chance of securing the right home.
- Offer Flexible Short-Term Stays
Through CGT Stays, we provide short-let accommodation across the region — ideal for those between homes, relocating, or needing temporary housing with flexible terms. - Deliver Fair Access
Our daily property alerts, transparent process, and responsive team mean tenants are kept informed and involved every step of the way.
