Welcome To COUNTY KEYS

Letting out a property, whether as an expatriate landlord and / or as an investment property can be a daunting experience. There are a number of statutes including the Housing Act 1988 and regulations governing fire, gas and electric to comply with in addition to practical pitfalls to be aware of.

A selection of the common questions we are often asked are:
Q - How do I become a Landlord?
Q - What do I need to do to prepare my property for letting?
Q - Should I be letting my property furnished or unfurnished?
Q - How much rental money will my property realistically achieve?
Q - Will I get good tenants?
Q - Will it cost me a lot?
Q - Will I be able to have my house back when I want it for myself?
