Rental property is a popular investment, combining immediate income from lettings with longer-term capital growth. ‘Buy-to-let’ isn’t all plain sailing, however, and would-be landlords need to weigh up the pros and cons.
Anyone letting out property needs to be aware of a landlord’s rights and obligations. Renting and Letting covers recent changes in the law and tells you everything you need to know about dispute resolution, deposits, security and safety. It also explains taxation, mortgages, record-keeping and accounts.
Written by a practising property professional, this real-world guide points out pitfalls to avoid and suggests ways to increase your chances of success.
Covering student accommodation, business lets, second homes and holiday flats, Renting and Letting also looks at expansion plans, ‘gearing’ and long-term investment. It contains useful model agreements and forms which can be adapted for immediate use or used to check existing versions.
