If you are a landlord looking to extend your property portfolio, experts advise you look locally and use the knowledge you have about an area to decide on any property investment.
Before purchasing your next property investment ask yourself
- How many properties are there like yours on the area? If there are a lot of vacancies around, your property will have a lot of competition, and that’s not good for rent prices.
- Is your area hot? Or are people moving away. Popular areas draw tenants, which is good for rent prices.
- Are there any special risks about the area, is the area known for flooding or subsidence? If so it may be advisable to enquire about the availability and cost of landlord insurance
The easiest way to assess where supply meets demand is to simply look at what other properties in your area are renting for. A local estate agent can tell you what other similar homes have gone for recently.
