Description
Better An Empty House brims with information for anyone thinking of letting or investing in a residential property (including buy-to-let). Based on experiences from his long career, including as co-founder of a successful lettings and property sales agency, author Mike Jones imparts his wisdom on key aspects of this vibrant, fast-moving and challenging industry. The result is a refreshingly honest and informative account of a topic about which both would be and even seasoned landlords need sound guidance. From finding a property to the merits and demerits of houses, flats, apartments, studios and annexes, areas of risk, property management, inventories, periodic inspections, decor and how to prepare a property for letting, to practical tips and legal issues, the author excels in explaining the rental industry in straightforward terms.
