SAVINGS VS BUY-TO-LET INVESTMENTS

With interest rates remaining low, property has long been considered a sensible investment option. Becoming a landlord is no longer the reserve of the rich and famous. You will be amazed by the type of people who now generate extra income from a second property. There is also added benefit from a lump sum when you sell the property in the future.

Generating income from a buy-to-let property does not need to be a bewildering idea, for first-time landlords, as long as you seek advice from a reputable lettings agent. We offer a full complement of services, including property management, property sales and Independent Financial Advisers. Together, they will advise you on potential rental properties to buy, suitable mortgage products, tax liabilities and the return you can expect from the investment.

In addition to finding your tenants, we will help set up the property for occupancy, look after any legal requirements and manage the property on your behalf. In the hands of an experienced agent, a buy-to-let investment should be straightforward.

THE TERM 'LANDLORD' MAY SEEM OUTDATED

The traditional view of a landlord has changed massively, driven mainly by the many ways people now find themselves becoming first-time landlords, thereby able to generate additional income. Examples include the following.

HOW TO GET STARTED

When you speak to one of our Letting Consultants they will explain the full buy-to-let process. From how you arrange finances, finding your first tenant and our property management services. 

Our staff work closely with our Sales Advisors to hand-pick investments that are desirable among tenants and offer you the greatest return.
