Tenants are a key part of any deal packaging proposal and David shares some great tips about how the property market is changing. Rents have been stuck for a significant amount of time but now they are on the rise and as a deal packager you need to understand the impact of Section 24, why there are fewer rental properties available and why it’s vital you have up to date rental figures for your area to make sure you are presenting the best opportunities to investors.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a buy to let landlord is a business Incrementally section 24 has meant you can subtract less and less mortgage interest The presentation can make a difference to the level of rent and the ceiling level for rent is not determined by the street.
