Drawing on the experience of thousands of landlords, this guide cites a host of examples of both what works and what doesn't, with pointers to common mistakes and miscalculations. Landlords are reminded of what the law requires, and the penalties for failure to comply, and the business decisions that face them. But above all, the guide sets out the ingredients for successful investment in the buy to let market.
