Writings for Landlords
Whilst many landlords around the country are concerned about the changes to the taxes, it appears London landlords are not put off by the changes, seeing the long-term nature of their property investments as beneficial.
As a landlord, you will always be on the lookout for the best tenant. One who doesn’t make a fuss or always pays their rent on time. Which is fair enough. And pretty obvious really.
Imagine this scenario; your tenant has left your rental property and when you come to check you find the bills have been left unpaid. You may have already incurred a significant amount of fees if you had to evict the tenant and now you’re asking yourself whether you have to pay your tenants unpaid bills as well.
Halloween can be a lot of fun. It’s a time of year when families and friends come together engage in dressing up, share sweets chocolates and maybe the odd drink, but it can represent a potential problem for landlords and it’s one you might want to address before it happens.
Rent arrears is probably the biggest worry a landlord can face. It’s the type of thing that can keep you up at night even before it happens. Over the last few years, cases of rent arrears have been on the increase. So what should you, as a landlord, do if you faced with tenant rent arrears?
Referencing tenants is probably one of the best methods available to landlords to help them reduce the risk of letting properties. Of course, you’re probably going to have a gut feeling as soon as you meet a potential tenant, but you can’t always rely on your gut. Although referencing is an important part of letting a property, many landlords are less sure when it comes to performing tenant referencing. So how should you go about it?
As a landlord, it can sometimes be tempting to walk straight into your rental property. This urge can be even greater if you are one of the many accidental landlords who has previously lived in the property they let out. Unfortunately, if your tenant denies you access to your property, that is their legal right.
Over the course of the next 13 years, 6 million homes will be insulated to help save families up to £650 per year on their heating costs. As a landlord, you will need to consider the step you’ve already taken or the steps you can take to insulate your properties.
Mancunians with a love of the written word have always been well off. They have been able to indulge their fondness for books in some of the finest libraries in the world. Manchester also built the first public lending library in the UK. It has two of the UK’s best-known writing schools and hosts one of the most popular literary events in the country.
New figures released by the Mayor of London and a report by Oxford Economics show the east of the city is booming.
