Countless options that would have required a crystal ball, but a realistic one (which didn't, particularly) would have been Berkshire Hathaway.

General advice would be prioritise ISA over other investments....

Hello all, I am a prospective landlord. I will be arranging my first mortgage in principle today as a start to my evil buy-to-let empire. As a total newb, what would be the one piece of advice you would give after your years of experience as a landlord?

Be very very careful who you accept as tenants. Use a very rigorous selection process involving many questions and meet them face to face. There are many posts on this and other forums about what questions you must ask and what checks you must do. If you get even the slightest bad feeling about them,...

Thank you - I've only been here five minutes and already I've gained some vital information!

So presumably a lot of people here are going to have to do exactly that before 2025. What is the general strategy? Wait until the tenancy ends then upgrade? Wade in and do it now in preparation?...

Reply to Tenant would like loft conversion - dilemma

by Piffy

Tenant would like loft conversion - dilemma

by davver79

Hi, I am looking for some advice please.

I am discussing with my tenant the possibility of a loft conversion on our 2 bed terraced, making it into a 3 bed for his family. He is an experienced builder so has offered to do the work. I'm considering getting the work done, but my concern is...

Wait until you know about the new legislation and carefully consider what happens when things go wrong. If you are unable to remove an obnoxious tenant you may wish you'd invested elsewhere. I'm not buying any more until I know, atm I'm more likely to sell.
