With the
downturn in both residential and commercial property appearing to be getting
worse, there’s now a serious risk that the UK economy could enter recession
territory.
Amid growing
concerns from one report after another, even the Chancellor has had to admin
that things are worse than the government predicted, that growth targets
will have to be scaled back and that we are in for a tough couple of years
at least.
Faced with
the non-availability of credit, last week’s rise in inflation to 3.8%
(everyone knows it’s probably more than double this official figure) and
rising commodity and fuel prices, the unemployment figures we’ve already
seen are likely to increase substantially.
Pressure on
the retail sector will put thousands of vacant shops back in the hands of
their landlords, just at a time when the government is imposing 100% vacant
business rates on owners.
The general
consensus appears to be: things will get worse before they get better. The
big question for landlords is—how much worse can it get?
In truth,
although we hear all sorts of predictions, nobody actually knows. There are
forces at work here that will test and challenge and maybe even confound
governments and central banks.

Tenants are
the key to successful property investment—”think tenant first” should be the
landlord’s motto. Forget the “armchair investment” - is there really such a
thing in property?
You can have
the best property in the street or even in the town, but if you can’t let
it, it’s a liability to any landlord.
A property
with a bad tenant is an even bigger liability, often far worse than with no
tenant at all.
No rent
coming in, invariably damage being done to your lovingly prepared interior,
and the prospect of expensive and long drawn-out legal proceedings to get
possession of the property again. Eviction specialists Landlord Action give
their advice here.
