Frequently asked questions about buy-to-let

To start you off, we have put together some of the most common questions surrounding buy to let mortgages for you to browse through at your leisure.

Things to consider before you buy to let

Purchasing a rental property is completely different to finding a home you are to live in. What you have to remember from the beginning is that this is a business decision which you need to consider as an investment and try not to get too carried away with imagining what you would do with the place if you lived there. You need to remain focused on the end goal and look more at who would be the likely tenant to rent the property you are looking to buy.

To help you decide what type of rental property you should buy, here are some top tips to consider.

What type of tenant are you looking to attract?

Are you looking for young professionals, families, students etc. Carefully considering this will allow you to decide upon the type of property you wish to buy as well as its location.

Where is the best area for you to purchase a property?

Make sure that you research different areas and visit lots of locations to help you get a better idea of the types of areas and what is around. Location is very important when choosing a property and will play a massive factor for your tenant when they come to view your property. Try to broaden your horizons a little bit and look beyond your local area. Consider towns where there might be a high demand for rental properties; towns just outside the city for example.

What is the location like?

Consider what transport links are around as well as parking, local shops, schools as well as other local amenities such as doctors etc. At The Nurture Group we can provide you with information about areas where there are lots of properties for you to buy to let as well as giving you information and advice on the local areas.

What condition is the property in?

If you are purchasing a property that needs a lot of work doing to it then there could be restrictions in place about how much you can actually borrow. This could also delay how quickly you let the property out. Are you able to afford the mortgage repayments over the renovation period?

How much rent are you expecting to receive each month?

The team at Nurture can help you with this, however it does pay off for you to do some homework by checking out property websites and properties to rent in your area so you can get a feel about what to expect.
