The Landlord Vision property management software blog

Social housing is in short supply, which is why the buy to let sector has grown so large in the last 20 years. Most landlords buy a second home with a view to generating an income; they don’t usually rent one property while letting out another. However, one landlord decided to apply for a council house, even though he was in the process of buying an investment property with a family member. He didn’t declare his property interests and the council were none the wiser. Fast-forward 13 years and this landlord’s chickens came home to roost.

Decorating a buy to let property is very different from decorating a home. This is not the time to create mood boards, stock up on colourful match pots, or spend hours tearing off wallpaper samples in your local DIY store.

Not all landlords need to use a letting agent, but unless you have the time and experience to manage your own portfolio, a letting agent is often useful.
