Since the launch of the Buy-to-let there has been a big growth in the number of portfolio landlords. Some reasons for this have included the fact that Landlords are now able to search out the most competitive interest rates and mortgage packages and there is a greater understanding of potential returns on their own capital and rental income. As a result, a lot of Landlords will re-mortgage to gain better rates and to raise further capital to expand their portfolio further. Drewery property services can provide advise and put you in touch with buy to let financial advisors to allow you to expand and improve your portfolio return.
Not getting the service you require?
As the property investment sector becomes more popular it is becoming increasingly harder for both corporate and Landlord investors to find the high level of professional service they deserve and require to rent and look after their investment. If you feel that you are not getting the rental return you hoped for, experiencing voids, having to subside your mortgage or your investment is costing you money rather than making you money then contact us today to discuss your problems and discuss how we are confident we can offer you the professional service you require.
We are able to negotiate special management rates for Landlords with large property portfolios. Contact our Lettings team for a no obligation chat about your current arrangement.
