Becoming a landlord

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.
