When looking at a property ask yourself these questions

Is the buy to let property close to quality transport links?

Is there off road parking?

Does it have a garage?

How big is the garden?

How big are the bedrooms? 

Is it close to amenities, such as the shops and leisure facilities?

Don’t just be guided by your own preferences, ask us for advice on what’s in demand in our area. In some parts of kent, family homes are in high demand, but in others a one-bedroom flat may be more easily let.

Most tenants have high standards these days, modern bathrooms and fitted kitchens are essential.Most tenants are looking for unfurnished property, but showers, fridges and washing machines are now expected as standard. It is worth paying extra for a property in good condition, unless you have the time and resources to refurbish it.

You might choose a fantastic location for your immaculate property but still be unable to let it due to unfavourable market conditions, or just lack of demand. To cover your mortgage payments and make buying to let a successful investment you need to keep your property rented as consistently as possible. Make sure your research covers local demand for rental properties and an assessment of future demand, to be as certain as possible that you will be able to let your property.
