Home > Landlords
If you are considering purchasing an investment property with a mortgage, you may require a Buy-To-Let mortgage and therefore need to seek suitable advice from a Mortgage Advisor or a Bank. If you decide to rent out your own home, you will be required to notify your mortgage company and also the management company if it is a leasehold property, to ensure there is the correct insurance cover in place.
Do your research….. During your search to purchase a rental property, also take into consideration the location of the property and who your target tenants are going to be ….. young professional couples may need easy access to Manchester via the Metro Link, whereas families may prefer to be in a good school catchment area.
For a residential letting the agreement used is normally an ‘assured shorthold tenancy’ (AST). The tenancy agreement is of course a contract binding you and your tenant and you should ensure you are familiar with its terms.
The next step is for Hale Homes to advise you on the current Rental value of your property. To attract the best tenants and achieve the highest rent, consider upgrading the presentation of your property.
We can advise you of all costs whether you require let only, fully managed or any additional service level in between.
Preparing and Marketing Your Property
We will market your property extensively on Hale Homes website, Rightmove and on social media, erect a ‘To Let’ board and match it out to all potential tenants registered on our extensive data base. All potential tenants are assessed and go through our thorough referencing service to minimise risks.
In order to present the property in the best manner we recommend the property is professionally cleaned and all repairs and necessary refurbishments (décor etc) are carried out prior to potential tenants viewing the property. We are able to provide cleaners, decorators etc.
Your property may require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), a Gas Safety Certificate and an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EIRC) and your prospective tenant will need to be provided with copies of these certificates. We can arrange these for you.
For further advice on how to prepare your property for rental, please do call us for advise on 0161 960 0036.
Once let, you the landlord, will be responsible for outgoings such as service charge and ground rent, buildings insurance and any rent guarantee insurance you may want. Your tenant will be responsible for all other out goings such as Council Tax, Gas, Electricity, Water (inc Sewerage and Environmental charges), Telephones and Internet.
