The LandlordZONE
Newsletter
April 2010
 |
Editorial:
According to UPad, the London
based on-line letting agents, and providers of content for this
LandlordZONE newsletter, £3 billion in rental income is lost every
year by UK landlords
due to their properties standing empty. |
That works out to an average of £1,000 for
each property - or
around half the net profit of the average landlord.
It’s not just lost income. The mortgage
still has to be paid. Service charges and utilities still have to be paid.
Put quite simply, landlords cannot afford to keep their properties
standing empty.
This alarming figure prompted UPad’s
pioneering initiative of a Webinar aimed at Landlords and Letting Agents to
be broadcast on Thursday the 29th of April at 1pm and as a recorded
broadcast at 8pm the same day.
There are many things that landlords can
do to keep their Accommodation occupied and earning income, so the aim of
the Webinar is to give landlords some really practical tips and answer their
questions about how to reduce voids and improve rental profitability.
Making money from rental property, at
least in the short-term, is going to be about securing a steady and growing
rental income - the days of exponential capital growth and instant
buy-to-let millionaires are over for now, if they ever existed at all for
most of us.
For the average landlord, and a large
section of the landlord community are part-time landlords, this means
improving the way you manage your rentals and your lettings skills.
Anyone viewing the recent BBC Panorama
programme, “Is Britain Full” cannot helpcoming away with the impression that
there’s a really healthy future for the UK landlord.
With a population expected to top 70m over
the next 20 years it seems inevitable that land and housing costs will
continue to rise, shutting increasing numbers of first time buyers out and
inevitably resulting in more and more renting. “The Office of National
Statistics say that over the next two decades the UK population is on course
to grow by eight million to 70m.
That is roughly the equivalent of adding
eight new cities, each the size of Birmingham.” BBC Panorama April 2010 The
UPad Webinar brings together a group of experienced property professionals
who can help landlords through the minefield of the property market.
Whether you’re caught up in red tape or
looking for the best way to manage your portfolio for profit, this is
certain to help.
