Do you have an EPC, or even know what one is?
All properties for sale or let must have one when going on the market, however
not many people know there's a register thats totally free to see them all and
to check if your property already has one. You can find it here:
https://www.epcregister.com/reportSearchAddressByPostcode.html
You can search by postcode and it might save you some cash, and you check out neighbouring properties for build types, etc. It's a good research tool, and can show if the property needs upgrading (meaning negotiation on buy price).
Tenants are getting wiser to these now, and will do so more in the future I think. I'm seeing more people take note all the time. After all, would you rather rent a place that's cheap to heat, or a 'G' rated money pit?
If you would like any advice on buy-to-let properties in Leigh on sea just drop me a line and I'll be happy to help. rob@castleestateagentdltd.co.uk -
