Buy to Let - Talk To Us Early

With our expert local knowledge of the rental market, supply and demand and rents being achieved, we are in a great position to offer landlords the best advice on potential rental income and the return on investment they could achieve with the right property. In addition we provide advice about current insurance regulations, gas, electrical and furniture regulations and guidance on interior and exterior standards.

 

With excellent contacts with trustworthy tradesmen, we can also obtain competitive quotes for any redecoration or refurbishment work.

 

The involvement of Doorknobs early in the Buy-To-Let process will help ensure you can generate the optimum rental income and be assured that your property complies with all current legislation.

 

Gross returns – i.e. the rent paid before subtracting the cost of letting, including management fees, maintenance, service charges ground rents and insurance is usually between 7% and 10% although this can be less for expensive properties.

 

The average rental return in the UK today is around the 10% mark and capital appreciation is expected to match, and maybe exceed, inflation into the foreseeable future. Most landlords try to achieve gross rents between 130% and 150% of their monthly mortgage payment.
