2026 Mid-Year Review: Local Growth Built on Local Trust

What a start to 2026! As we reach the halfway point of the year, the team at C&E Property Services has been reflecting on our journey. It’s been a season of incredible growth, not just for our business, but for the community we serve here in Hunmanby and across the North Yorkshire coast.

From the quiet, well-maintained rentals in the heart of the village to the stunning coastal properties we’ve recently welcomed into our portfolio in Filey and beyond, our mission remains unchanged: bringing "high-volume" efficiency to a local, family-run market.

The Power of Personal Integrity

In a year dominated by talk of the new "Property Portal" and shifting EPC legislations, it’s easy for the industry to feel increasingly "corporate" and distant. We’ve noticed a trend: landlords are looking for a sanctuary from the automated call centers of national firms.

We have been incredibly moved by recent testimonials from our landlords. The feedback is consistent—they value having a direct line to Charlotte and Emily. Knowing that your investment is being watched over by people who know the street, the neighbors, and the history of the building is something a digital database simply cannot replace. At C&E, personal integrity still matters most.

A Team in Motion

The first six months of 2026 have been a whirlwind of activity across all our departments:

  • Our Maintenance Team: They’ve been working tirelessly through the "spring rush," ensuring our managed properties are not just compliant, but comfortable and safe.

  • Our Marketing Specialists: We’ve upgraded our approach to photography and digital listings, ensuring that every new property we take on is captured in its best light to attract high-quality, long-term tenants.

  • Our Compliance Audit: We are well on our way to having our entire portfolio "Day One Ready" for the upcoming 2026 digital transition.

Looking Toward a Busy Summer

As we move into the second half of the year, the Yorkshire coast is buzzing. Whether we are helping a new landlord find their first investment or ensuring an existing client’s yield is protected against rising costs, we are proud to be your trusted partner.

We aren't just managing houses; we are helping build a better rental market for our neighbors. Here’s to a busy summer and a compliant, successful second half of 2026!
