Successful Property Letting by David Lawrenson

This post is more than 12 years old

October 22, 2013 by Tessa Shepperson

Successful Property LettingHow to make money in buy to let

One of the best books for someone wanting to go into property is David Lawrenson’s classic book Successful Property Letting.  AND we now have a new edition with everything brought up to date!

David is a successful landlord himself and his book is both authoritative and a good read.  He covers all the things you need to know clearly and I did not spot any legal howlers.

Content includes a great introductory chapter which sets the scene and then chapters on all the basics – finding a property, the financials, refurbishing it, finding tenants, managing it, dealing with difficult tenants, tax – everything you need to know really.  Finishing with a chapter on holiday lets and investing abroad.

This book is aimed primarily at new landlords, but many experienced landlords would enjoy it and learn a lot – maybe put it in your Christmas list?

Note that a copy of David’s book will be sent to the winner of our Annual Blog Survey prize draw – we will be doing this at the end of October so make sure you do the survey before then (even if you don’t win David’s book, you still get a free download of one of my ebooks).

If you don’t win the blog survey prize draw, you can still get the book online at Amazon here.
