Buy to let property as a business.
Since the 1988 Housing Act there has been a growth in buy to let property ownership due to increased control for landlords. The market has also grown in appeal thanks to attractive interest rates and loans aimed at but to let property buyers. An important aspect of buy to let mortgages, which differentiate them from regular mortgages is that the landlord is effectively in charge of a business. In this sense landlords should research the market, find tenants and think about the building’s renting potential before signing a contract.
