In this two-minute speed read we look at 10 things
you can do as a landlord to make 2021 a year to remember for all the
right reasons.

1 – Review your buy to let mortgages. Great deals are
continually coming to the market. Don’t miss out on significant savings.

2- Take stock of your insurance arrangements. Do you have
the right amount of cover across the correct areas?

3 – Budget for the unexpected. Always have a financial
buffer in place to protect you just in case you experience voids or repairs.

4 – Remember the old saying ‘A stitch in time saves nine’?
Well, it also applies to your property’s maintenance. Keeping on top of issues
and maintaining the condition of the home regularly pays dividends over time.

5 – Start as you mean to go on. A nice touch is to provide
new tenants with a home warming gift.

6 – Show long term tenants you appreciate them with a gift
around their tenancy renewal time.

7 – Choose your letting agent with care. Look for a good
track record and ask to speak with some landlords they currently work with.

8 – Stay legal. A good letting agent will help you stay the
right side of the reams of regulations, red tape, and lettings laws.

9 – Be aware that the DIY approach to lettings comes at a
cost. We are happy to provide a let only service, but the value our fully
managed option gives our landlords is more than just a monetary one. We can
take the hassle and stress out of being a landlord by doing everything for you.

10 – Call us, and we can help you with all the previous nine
steps. We’ll put you on the path to rental property prosperity.

We’d like to wish all our landlords, tenants, and the Kent
community a happy, healthy, and safe 2021. Here’s to better times ahead.
