Letting for the First Time: How Landlords Can Get Both Regular Income and Peace of Mind?
A long-term asset, buy-to-let property in London has been a good source of
regular monthly income for years, especially taking into account steady and
constant property price rise. Becoming a landlord in London is a decent
option because of the high capital appreciation from 14 to 17 per cent a year
within the last three years, experts say. In addition, you can enjoy quite good
rental yields as a tenant flow seems to be endless in the UK capital.
However, if you are going to let for the first time, you might not be aware of
the other sides of letting. Although financially rewarding, it can be quite
stressful without assistance of an experienced agent. Lack of estate market
knowledge can make you stumble at its hidden pitfalls.
According to statistics, 90 per cent of cases in the Landlord Tenant courts
consist of evictions of tenants, primarily for non-payment of rent. Damage to
property is among the top problems landlords face with tenants, and some
landlords had negative experience with tenants who wanted to obtain free
rent.
It takes much time and effort as well as nerves, to be honest, for landlords to
resolve these issues by themselves. Probably the hardest part of managing
everything by yourself is to keep up to date with ever-changing letting rules
and regulations. Therefore, it is much better to have a backup in the form of
assistance of a reputable and experienced letting agency to look after your
rental and ensure that your rights as a landlord are protected.
