Why consider letting your property?

• As an investment.
• To cover essential outgoings such as your mortgage.
• To gain an income from your property during an extended absence.

Why let – Why not sell?

Almost all types of property are lettable, particularly those in good decorative condition and close to good rail and road communications.

If you are moving out of the area for some time, your first thought may be to sell, however, by the time you return your property value is likely to have increased and you may have to pay considerably more to purchase a similar property.

Considerations when thinking of letting your property

• What sort of people do I want in my home?
• How long do I want them to stay?
• What happens if I have a mortgage?
• What are the tax implications?
• Can I be sure of getting my property back?
• If the tenants damage the property, who pays?

Our trained staff will be pleased to answer all of the above questions and any others which may differ with individual circumstances.
