Format:Paperback
This book is very easy to read but is still packed with lots of useful information. It helps focus your mind on exactly what kind of letting you want to get into - and what sort of tenants you are after. The advice on financing property seems good and well researched and there are details of how to work out the real costs of getting into this business. It's not just a question of buying a property and raking in the cash - there are ongoing costs and responsibilities you don't really think about. Also it can be hard to know exactly what to expect of agents and tenants and this book lays out some pretty clear ground rules. There is excellent advice on how to check out prospective tenants and addresses of websites that can help you do this.
Format:Paperback
I have only dipped in so 4 rather than 5 stars. The information has been very helpful to someone looking at this possibility and may be worth more than 5 stars in the long run.

Wendy Pascoe's obsession with bathrooms is apparent from the start. You can never have enough and if she were your tenant she would expect at least three bathrooms per bedroom. She is wonderfully middle class - no DSS or housing association tenants for her! God forbid - their children would scribble on the walls, they would annoy the neighbours and never pay the rent. She listens to Radio 4 and knows the Saturday schedule inside out. In this book Ms Pascoe offers a cleaning lesson for the great unwashed, advises you on proper disposal of sanitary items and insists that outdoor shoes are left outdoors - or at a push they could be let into the porch. Finally the depth of her understanding of the financial world is demonstrated in some maths lessons and her passing reference to pork belly futures.
