From the Publisher
The idea of "Buy to Let" may have attracted your interest because of concern about your pension or as a way of investing.

Whatever the reasons, "Buy to Let" by Stuart Powers will help you to decide if it is for you.

Stuart starts by clearly explaining the key steps you would need to take in order to be successful in buying and letting residential property.

He then focuses on five key issues that really matter, ranging from estimating likely profits through to selecting an agent and taxation of profits.

Finally he looks at how to avoid the most common pitfalls, such as disputes with tenants about the deposit and minimising gaps between tenants.

Customer Reviews

A good BASIC intro
This is a good basic introduction to buy-to-let property. It has information on most aspects of buy-to-let but only in a very cursory, passing way. This is good for those with no knowledge on buy-to-let and points you in the right direction to find follow up information. Don't expect in-depth insights into this type of investment, but it is useful in learning about buy-to-let terms and procedures. Worth a look if you're a complete beginner, otherwise look elsewhere.

A basic Guide For Letting Property
Stuart Powers: Buy To Let, The Key Steps is exactly what the title says. It is a book best suited to those who have not yet researched the buy to let provisions and gives a key insight into where to look, and what to look for. It is a short book which can easily be read during other activities (such as in a break) and fits neatly into a pocket or handbag due to its size. It covers all the basics and stimulates the desire for further reading. This book is ideal for those at the beginning of their research into this area. It does not go into specific detail but provides recommendations on other points of contact. The case studies give a practical element to the theory and explain it well. A good book to start with.
