How to Manage Your BTL

Do you want to maximise the return on your buy-to-let investment by managing it yourself? Then you need to keep reading...


If you are looking at this book, it is likely that you recently bought your first BTL investment or maybe you have decided to rent out your home and move to greener pastures. In any case, welcome to the private rented sector!


When considering your BTL investment, you should be looking at the ability of the asset to provide you with a return. A significant expense for landlords can be the fees a letting agent will charge to let and manage their properties. These fees can be over 14% of the rent and can be avoided relatively easily with the right guidance.


As a rule of thumb across the industry, a landlord will spend roughly 4 hours per month per rental property. Using simple math, you get to 48 hours per year for day-to-day management and operations. An equal amount of time is spent on leasing, finding a tenant, and turning over the rental. Therefore, if you re-let the property every year, it's roughly 96 hours or just over two weeks of work.


It's not surprising then that in the latest English Private Landlord Survey, commissioned by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, they found just over half (52%) of landlords did not use a letting agent. This makes perfect sense seeing as these same landlords viewed their role as a landlord to be a long-term investment to contribute to their pension (59%) or as an investment for rental income (47%) and thereby obviously wanting to maximise their investment return.
