Maximise your Buy to Let return
Monday, December 14, 2015
In spite of the double whammy recently announced for landlords, buy-to-let is still booming within the property market, with vast numbers of investors, both amateur and professional, injecting cash into a market which is currently worth £1 trillion. But the big question is where to invest to maximise returns and achieve capital growth? Nationally, property price increases have suppressed yields (the ratio between rental income and the property's value) to the point where returns are less attractive, but the capital growth factor keeps it an attractive option for investors if the location is right.

With winter fast approaching and dark nights drawing in, you may be surprised to know that if you’re looking to let your property, now is still a great time to take the plunge and become a landlord. House prices are still rising so in addition to the monthly rental income your rental property generates, it’s also likely to be appreciating in value. Instruct an ARLA licensed lettings agent to let your property, and you’ll have the reassurance of dealing with a reputable and professional company that is fully qualified and insured.

Change for the best?
Monday, September 21, 2015
In recent years there have been many changes to legislation and best practice within the lettings sector affecting both lettings agents and landlords. It is now mandatory, for example, for all letting agents to disclose their full fee tariff, details of which redress scheme they belong to and what they offer by way of client money protection. Changes under the Deregulation Act will affect whether a landlord can legitimately serve a Section 21 notice if they or their agent fail to resolve repair requests and the “Right to Rent” immigration checks currently being trialled are likely to be rolled out at a national level.
