General tips for letting out your property

When letting out your property, you might find it helpful to keep some of these general tips in mind.

1. Consult your mortgage lender first – renting out may conflict with the terms and conditions of your mortgage. You can usually update this quickly by getting in touch with your mortgage company.

2. Take out lettings insurance. This is one form of insurance that is particularly advisable.

3. Ensure that all the gas appliances are checked according to the regulations.

4. Check that furniture complies with the Fire Safety Regulations.

5. If you are an overseas landlord, apply to H&M Customs for an exemption certificate.

6. If the property is leasehold, you will need to obtain permission from the person who sold you the lease.

Tips on buying unseen properties

http://www.leedslettings.biz – flat to rent in leeds – agents. Consider phase 1 buying: ie buying off plan before the property is built. Aim to buy in this phase, before the prices go up. If you have a long lead in time, then you can aim for capital growth. A standard amount to put down is 10%. It is a good idea to research transport, local services, and the overall rental market situation.

 

House prices being affected by market uncertainty?

Not just yet! House prices are apparently (20/10/2007) unaffected by recent financial concerns.  The recent financial concerns (especially the Northern Rock debacle) have not affected the UK housing market in September and prices are still rising in the month.  Different surveys from different sources indicate conflicting conclusions, though. For example, Halifax claim that the house prices are still on the increase whereas other sources are now more certain that the long awaited slowdown in house prices has already started this summer. Earlier this week, Barratt published up to a 10% fall in its property sales over a week following on from the Northern Rock difficulties. Many market experts are now forecasting that the Bank of England will start cutting the base rates before the end of the year in order to help the economy. This should certainly help existing borrowers.

Useful tips for landlords planning on buying a house or flat for buy-to-let

WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE THE TENANCY?
It is important for your property to be in good structural and decorative condition, with all machines, fittings and appliances in working order: -

DECORATION
All decoration should be fairly neutral in style, giving a wider appeal. Bathroom fittings should be modern, clean and in good working order. To prevent any water leakages, which may be costly, always ensure installation is sound and check seals around baths, basins and showers.

The minimum requirements for an unfurnished kitchen should include a cooker. All appliances should be clean and in good working order. Ensure that you have copies of all instruction manuals for all appliances including boilers, storage heating and showers.

SECURITY
It is advisable to fit security locks to windows and ensure alarms are in working order. Building regulations state that – in all new homes built since 1992 – smoke detectors must be fitted. We suggest that a smoke detector should be installed in all properties together with fire blanket and extinguisher.

GARDENS
Gardens should be left in a tidy condition. It is the tenants’ responsibility to maintain the garden during the tenancy and you should leave gardening equipment as necessary, usually a lawnmower as a minimum.

 

Tax rules for overseas landlords

TAXATION FOR OVERSEAS LANDLORDS

As a landlord overseas you are still required to pay income tax on rent from letting. Since 1996 you are also required to declare such income on a self-assessment tax return. Up until the law change, your agent was responsible for the payment of income tax on your rental profits. Providing that you complete a tax exemption form (NRL7) your agent can pay rental income to you gross of tax.
