Here are some of the topics you may wish to consider when looking for a buy-to-let property:
- Who do you want to rent to?
- How long might it take to secure tenants around this area?
- What is the rental market in the area like? Is it growing or declining?
- Is there the potential to build in capital growth?
- Will the rent you receive cover your costs?
- Can you make improvements to the property in order to increase rental income or capital growth?
- Have you looked at any forecasts for property growth in the area?
- Should you rent privately or use a letting agent?
Your property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.
The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate some forms of buy to lets.
