Buy to Let Solicitors Bedford and Stevenage: HilliersHRW Solicitors

In the present economic climate many people cannot get on the property ladder and so they need to rent. ‘Buy to Let’ is an investment option which could be an additional source of income ...and sometimes a full time job!

Planning a portfolio of property to let is a big step. Funding has to be carefully thought out, as does management of the portfolio, whether large or small. The initial purchase plus associated mortgage, needs to be handled properly, but sometimes it is only after completion that a landlord becomes aware of the extent of the responsibility they have assumed.

Firstly, the terms of a lease and the management of the property must be resolved. Secondly, landlords have a responsibility to provide a safe environment for tenants, employees and visitors to the property they own, and if they fail to do so, they can be sued or prosecuted in the criminal courts. Planning consent may be required if the property is to be used for multiple occupation, and you may need to consider disabled access.

But don't panic, HilliersHRW can help you deal with all these issues, from the initial purchase, through to the various potential management issues. Our Conveyancing Department encompasses an experienced team able to deal with all areas of the process such as planning, landlord and tenant issues as well as disputes.
