Why let your house?

Deciding to let a property can be a big decision, but we aim to help you through this process making it as easy and profitable for you as possible. Below are some of the most common reasons for letting a property. To find out what we offer see our services, and find out why our landlords choose us to help them in this venture.

Buy to let

Buying a property to rent out is a worthwhile investment which is currently giving a better return than savings accounts or investments in the money market. Bear in mind that there will be capital appreciation on the property as well as rental income. With our experience and up-to-date knowledge of the rental market we can help you to maximise these benefits by advising on the kind of property to buy and the areas which prove most popular.

Going abroad?

If you are working or temporarily living abroad, it makes sense to let your home so that you keep a foothold in the British property market. It is not wise to leave a house empty for too long a period. Far better that it be occupied and whilst the rent should cover your mortgage and maintenance costs, the tenants will be responsible for paying local council rates, water rates and other utilities. Please see our advice for overseas landlords for more information.

Moving area and unable to sell?

If you need to move area and the selling market is slow, letting your home can give you breathing space whilst covering your mortgage payments and preventing your home from getting that sad 'unlived in' appearance.
