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, visiting 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 just not to 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 country.
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!

Letting your property can be a time consuming, frustrating and sometimes costly process!
It might seem relatively easy to establish an approximate market rental value but knowing who is in the market for a rental property is much harder. One property type or location may lend itself to young couples, another to corporate relocators. One area might have a shortage of flats, another a glut. Knowing the market, as ever, is key. We hold an extensive and up-to-date database of people looking to rent property in the Bracknell area.
The lettings process involves a marketing plan which, nowadays, will almost certainly require representation of the main online internet portals such as RightMove (™). At Duncan Yeardley we will arrange this for you and help organise viewings and undertake the vetting of tenants on your behalf. The quality of your tenant is critical if the letting process is not to become a legal mine field and cautionary tale for others!
At Duncan Yeardley we can supply all the paperwork you will need including credit checks on new tenants, references, detailed inventories, a legally enforceable tenancy agreement and advice on the legal requirements that are now required by law including legislation relating to the holding of tenant’s sureties and things like annual gas checks and inspections. Failure to comply with this legislation is a criminal offence and may result in significant fines, a loss of the right to regain possession or even imprisonment!
We can offer a full property management service, a letting only service or a rent collection service. For full details of our services CLICK HERE.
Letting property is now a significant market in its own right. At Duncan Yeardley we offer professional advice based on decades in the property rental sector.
