Being a DIY landlord has never been more time consuming, expensive and subject to continuously increasing legislation. Unless you are prepared to be on call 24/7, are fully up-to-date with letting rules and regulations, have your own marketing department and maintenance team on hand, keeping on top of your legal responsibilities whilst still enjoying a healthy return on your investment is a real challenge.
That’s why more and more landlords turn to Strats to keep their rental properties and finances in great shape.
