New national home fire safety guidelines for landlords has been released aimed at cutting the number of deaths from house fires each year.
Landlords and buy-to-let investors looking to expand their portfolios should buy now in order to capitalise on the higher yields now available.
Landlords that work from home might be able to claim allowances according to guidelines recently published by the Inland Revenue.
Unlike buy-to-let investors new 'circumstantial' landlords may be unclear about legal obligations or attracting tenants.
The growth in tenant demand for rental property remains strong as void periods fall to their lowest level since 2005.
