Home/Buy-to-Let Deals
Buy-to-Let Investors
Buy-to-let: one home, one household.
Houses and flats that let well to a single household, from owners who would rather sell quietly. Tell us your budget, your areas and how much work you will take on and your criteria go on our investor list.
The Strategy
A buy-to-let, from purchase to first let.
Buy where people rent
Steady local demand, good transport and a rent that suits the street, rather than the highest headline figure.
Bring it up to standard
Safety certificates, a sound electrical installation and an energy rating of E or better before it can be let.
Let it
Through a letting agent or yourself, with the deposit protected and the right to rent checked.
Hold it
Rent paid monthly over the long term, with the property kept up and the rules kept to.
What Makes a Buy-to-Let Home
Demand first, then condition.
A good buy-to-let is a home people want to live in, bought at a price that leaves room for the costs of owning it.
- A street and a property type that let quickly locally
- A condition you can bring up to standard without surprises
- An energy rating you can improve if the rules tighten
- Running costs counted: insurance, repairs, voids and letting fees
Where It Goes Wrong
The four ways a buy-to-let disappoints.
Most buy-to-let problems come from the costs and the rules rather than the property itself.
- A rent that does not cover a mortgage at the lender's stress rate
- Tax on rental profit, which depends on how you own the property; take accountancy advice
- Rules that change, such as the Renters' Rights Act in England; take advice before you buy
- Repairs and empty months left out of the plan

Your Questions
Buy-to-let, answered.
Where do your buy-to-let homes come from?
From owners who sell off-market: tired homes, inherited homes and landlords leaving the market who want a quiet sale.
Can I buy a home that already has someone living in it?
Yes, some come with a household in place. Your solicitor will check the paperwork before you commit.
Can you give me mortgage or tax advice?
No. Speak to an independent mortgage broker and an accountant before you buy.
