As an independent property owner, you need to find good tenants, set fair rules, and keep everyone happy. However, there are certain things tenants are not allowed to do while renting, and you should know about these to save you from any potential headaches.
Inheriting a house from a relative is one thing; knowing what to do with it is another. It’s understandable if you’re confused about the latter — perhaps the location isn’t ideal for you to live in yourself, or the property needs extensive renovations you can’t afford right now.
Rather than selling the house and missing out on future opportunities, have you considered turning it into a buy-to-let investment property?

Every independent UK landlord has undoubtedly heard of holding deposits and tenancy deposits. However, do you understand the differences between the two? Although they’re both payments made to landlords by tenants as part of a tenancy agreement, there are some key distinctions that every landlord should be aware of.
In this article, we’ll explain the difference between a holding deposit and a tenancy deposit, as well as provide helpful advice on managing them both.
The cost-of-living crisis in the UK has partly been driven by substantial energy price increases. And that’s bad news for you as a landlord. You might pay for energy as part of the rental price, which means a hefty increase in your overheads. However, most rentals don’t include energy bills, but if your tenants are struggling to pay their energy bills, you might find they can’t pay you the rent on time or at all.
This buy-to-let guide will explain everything there is to know about this investment type, including what it is, the benefits, and how to get started. If you’re considering joining the many buy-to-let investors in property, you must get a good grasp of what you’re signing up for.
Investing in property can be financially rewarding. However, it can have its ups and downs, with many decisions to make. Once invested, landlords face the dilemma of whether to rent short-term or long-term. While long-term rentals are in high demand, short-term rentals can be immensely lucrative. To help make that choice, we will discuss which is more profitable for landlords, short or long-term renting.
If you are considering becoming a landlord because you think it will be a stress-free experience as you sit back and collect rental income, then think again.
Being a landlord can be just as stressful as a 9-5 job. Sure there’s no boss to order you about being a landlord. Still, similarly, a day job doesn’t involve putting down a serious amount of your income and being responsible for monthly mortgage payments for years.
