Product Description

Product Description
Investing in student property is highly lucrative. Rental yields of 10% or more are common and there is strong demand in most UK cities for quality student accommodation.

This brand new guide tells you everything you need to know about building a highly profitable portfolio of student properties.

The author, Tony Bayliss, is one of the UK's most successful student property investors. With over 20 years experience as a landlord, and having amassed a £4 million fortune investing in student buy to let, Tony has certainly "been there, done it and earned the T-shirt".

In How to Profit from Student Property he reveals all his secrets - how he picks the best and most profitable student properties; how he markets his properties (ensuring they are rented out months in advance), and how he enjoys capital growth of 12% pa, year in year out.

The book's many anecdotes and fascinating real-life examples make it a real page turner. In fact, a lot of the wisdom the author imparts is enormously useful to anyone investing in buy to let, not just student landlords.

How to Profit from Student Property takes you step by step through the entire process of finding and buying the best student properties, doing them up to the required standard, attracting students and managing tenancies.

Subjects covered include:

* Why student property is so lucrative and why now is the time to invest.
* How to choose the best student properties in the best locations and enjoy stong capital growth.
* The current state of the student property market - a survey of UK towns and cities.
* Novel ways to market your properties and make sure they rent out faster than the competition.
* The type of property, and features within properties, students love and hate.
* Why students are ideal tenants, with rent collection rates of almost 100%.
* How to anticipate problems and resolve complaints.
* How the author keeps down his costs and the time spent managing his properties.
* The House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) rules and why they need not affect you.
* University Accreditation Schemes, and how to use them to your best advantage.
* The best and worst times of year to buy student property.
* Dozens of examples, based on the author's many years experience renting out student property.
* Extra Tools for Student Landlords
* Inside the book you'll also find some extremely useful sample documentation - the agreements, letters, and marketing materials Tony Bayliss uses to manage and promote his properties.

Sample documents include:

* The Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement the author uses for his student properties.
* Marketing literature, including the leaflet he distributes in university halls of residence every year - always producing a flood of enquiries from prospective tenants.
* The Users Guide he leaves in all his properties, which answers all questions and cuts down the time spent managing the properties.
* A selection of letters and agreements the author sends to tenants and guarantors to ensure properties are rented out continually and rent collection is painless.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the Student Let Bible!, 11 Feb 2007
By Carl Jarvis (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a fabulous book. It is written with a great style that makes it effortless to read as well as being exceptionally insightful and informative. It's presented and written by someone who's most obviously been there, seen it, do it, and lived it... every single line of it. It's given me and my wife such confidence that we've already bought our first student let property and plan to buy more in the near future. We've always been told, "Never touch Student Let's" but with Tony's wisdom and guidance, through this fabulous book, you just can't go wrong. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone wondering what kind of buy-to-let they'd like to venture in to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative - Highly Recommended, 31 Jan 2007
I've been a landlord for several years now. However, I still learned a lot from this book.

In particular it provides excellent tips on marketing buy to let properties and making sure they are always fully let. This is the absolute key to being a successful property investor. If you aren't earning rental income you won't have any money to cover your buy-to-let mortgage and other costs.

Another thing I like about the book is the writing style of the author - funny and very down to earth. I see now why he's known as the Bill Bryson of buy to let.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best buy-to-let advice around, 29 Jan 2007
This book has provided by far the best advice and information I have come across since getting into buy-to-let two years ago. If only it was published when I started out I would have saved a lot of time and money. This is an excellent investment for anyone in the buy-to-let market. Highly recommended!
