Buying, managing, and selling buy to let properties comes with its own set of risks. We will build a long-term relationship with you to ensure you are kept up to date with changes in the law affecting landlords. Our team will also proactively manage challenges resulting from regulatory changes, thereby mitigating the risk of your portfolio’s profitability being compromised.
Therefore, there are many factors to consider when purchasing an investment property. You need to balance the potential rental income with the costs of owning and maintaining the house or flat. For example, buying a buy to let in the heart of a student town/city will mean you are likely never to struggle for tenants. However, those tenants may cause thousands of pounds in damage throughout the tenancy and because student houses tend to be less expensive, maintenance costs are higher. You may find it more profitable in the long term to rent to a stable family in a quiet area.
Therefore, it is vital to shop around to ensure you get the best interest rate and terms. You will normally need a larger deposit for a buy to let purchase; most lenders ask for a minimum of 20% of the total purchase price.
Our Conveyancing Solicitors can provide friendly, responsive, practical advice regarding purchasing, selling, and managing your buy to let portfolio. As well as managing the conveyancing process related to the sale and purchase of buy to lets, we can also draft bespoke tenancy agreements.
