Weekend Around The Corner

[Ric.ror]

I will be trying to shake off a nasty cough I have had all week - a fat cough my son says - cheeky monkey
Hope you all have a great time

Hot toddies all weekend for you, Ric.....

If I can I will do more garden organising.....bit of housework and I will...I truly will chose a new bathroom. I hate the one I inherited...very twee...black and white with a chandelier for me but the thought of the mess has made me put it off....NO LONGER!!! I will do it...I think.....

Enjoy your weekend if the cough lets you, Ric....x

Are you going to fit the new bathroom, gness ?.

[gness]

Not this one, Tony....but I have done by accident...long tale will tell you one day.

No...the fitter is dishy so he's hired.....☺

[Baldric]

House hunting for us,
we've just sold one of our Rentals down in Sandwich (20+ mls away)
so will be looking for a replacement nearer to home.

[tonyav]

Right then gness, so you have chosen the fitter C'us he's fit but not the bathroom yet !.

[gness]

Chose the fitter last year...last year!! Blimey...must chose the bits to fit...x

[Ric.ror]

Baldric- Please could I ask how many rentals you have and how easy is the process - I am always thinking I should get around to it - but I'm to timid to plunge and do it

[Baldric]

Ric, started off with one, put it with a Management Company for a Year, You need a Buy to Let Mortgage (if you need to borrow) and Landlord's Insurance (different Companies, different names).
In the first year we spoke to a lot of Landlords and Management Companies to get as much info as we could, amazing what people tell you if they think there's money in it, then went Solo, 9 maybe 10 years down the line we've not had any real problems, one bad Tenant (drink related) and he took the easy option and walked away.
The one we just sold was Number 6, (all 3 bed semi's) we're looking to get everything closer to home, as tenants move out we'll sell and replace, I really don't want to drive 20+ miles at 0200hrs if someone has a burst pipe or something similar.
Research your potential market, buy carefully, have the right insurance and it can be very rewarding, Good luck!
