Renting & Letting

The number of properties available to rent and the number of people renting in the UK has increased enormously over the past two decades. With increased property prices in many areas a large proportion of the population has been priced out of the buying market, and therefore increased demand for rental accommodation.

Buy-to-let property has also become an attractive option for long-term investment and a useful short-term solution if you have to move but are reluctant to sell.

In this section, we take a look at all the information you need if you're considering renting a place to live, or letting out your own property, including the legal issues, such as tenancy agreements and the prospect of eviction.
