You’ve probably played Monopoly before. But have you ever thought about how it relates to being a landlord here in Selby?
At Jigsaw Sales & Letting Agents, we help local landlords every day—and believe it or not, that old board game has some great tips when it comes to building a successful rental portfolio. Yes we speak with local landlords every day—many of whom are asking the same thing: Is it still worth it with all the tax changes and new rules?
The answer is yes—owning property is still one of the best long-term investments you can make. Why? Because you benefit in two big ways:
- Monthly rental income
- Property value increasing over time (equity growth)
Even with rising costs and more legislation, property gives you real, lasting returns—and we’re here to help you make the most of them.
Here’s how Monopoly applies to real-life property in Selby:
- Buy Early, Buy Smart
In Monopoly, you win by snapping up properties early. The same goes here—buying before prices go up or demand rises can really pay off. We can help you spot those up-and-coming areas in and around Selby. - Focus Your Investments in Selby
Owning multiple properties in Selby and nearby villages gives you a strong rental return—just like owning a full colour set in Monopoly. And with Jigsaw managing your portfolio locally, you can enjoy hassle-free letting and expert support every step of the way. - Focus on Reliable Rent
It’s not always the flashiest houses that make the most money. In Selby, well-kept semi detached, terraced and town houses in good locations often bring in steady, reliable rent—and are easier to let. That’s where the real wins come from. - Keep Improving
In Monopoly, you build houses to earn more. In real life, that means putting money back into your property—refurbishing, updating, or saving to buy another one. Even upgrading your portfolio to include some detached houses. It helps your portfolio grow stronger over time. - Don’t Stretch Yourself Too Thin
In the game, if you run out of money, it’s game over. The same goes for landlords. Taking on too much or not planning properly can lead to stress and unexpected costs. We’ll help you stay in control and make smart, manageable decisions.
