I am looking into an opportunity for real estate landlords or property owners to store goods for another business in properties that are not let yet. This way, the landlord can generate income while the property is not occupied yet. Is this possible? Would any landlords be interested to discuss further?
Store goods in non-occupied properties to generate income?

Personally, I wouldn't be interested.
I think that's a change of use for planning purposes and would be an issue for my insurance (and any BTL mortgages).When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

Why would someone want to store things in a house rather then one of those storage specialist companies? Unless someone can undercut them significantly. They have 24 hour security, cctv, locks, alarm and appropriate insurance. The notice period is 7 days.
If there is a roof leak in a house or a break in, who is going to report it?
Houses have limitation, such as a narrow doorways, lack of a lift, trolleys, parking, loading bays..... pretty useless for larger trucks.
Council would be chasing you if there is an unoccupied house in the road.

Reply to County court bailiffsby Display nameI didn't, but since the tenant hasn't engaged at any stage, including attending hearings, complying with orders, responding to texts, emails and letters, I think it's a good claim. He wouldn't even respond to requests to allow access to the Gassafe plumber for safety checks. The guidance says that...

I'm glad you mentioned this, I noticed some of the extremely cheap houses seem to offer the best yield, but I thought to myself "I would not want to live in that area". I like the idea of going slightly above average to try and avoid areas that...-

I have rung up about a few houses for sale that have tenants in place. Also, I have checked recent sold prices of houses that appear to need minimal work doing to make them ready to rent, though admittedly you can only see so much from pictures...-

Reply to County court bailiffsby Display nameAlso, I'm completing the MCOL application now for submission tomorrow, before the tenant has even left because, a) I've no idea where he'll disappear to and b) I've next to zero chance of recovering any money. I've no experience of this and am completely winging it, so I won't be offended if anyone...

Reply to County court bailiffstheartfullodger Thanks for that clarification. In my situation I have two cottages that have low EPCs due to their construction (I let them out at lowish rents as I know they can be expensive to heat). I understand EPCs will have to be much higher in this he future (proposed CatC by 2025), which leaves...
