Practical property advice

Making a sell-versus-let decision

Compare realistic sales evidence with achievable rent, ongoing management costs, maintenance reserves, mortgage commitments and potential void periods. Consider your cash requirements and whether you want the ongoing obligations of being a landlord.

Practical steps to consider

  • Step 1

    Obtain separate evidence-based sale and rental appraisals.

  • Step 2

    Allow for tax, insurance, finance, repairs and voids.

  • Step 3

    Decide whether you need a fully managed letting or prefer to sell.
