Helping You Understand The Monthly Costs For Property Investors and Landlords

If you are new to property investing in Hartlepool, you may be unsure of the monthly costs associated with being a landlord.

Below, we have summarised some of the most common costs. Whilst there are lots of different expenses to consider when renting a house in Hartlepool, generally there will be five main types of costs:

Buy-to-Let Mortgage

If you aren’t buying your rental property in Hartlepool outright, then there will be the monthly cost of your buy-to-let mortgage.

Property Management Company / Letting Agent Fees

Whilst you may be able to manage your own property portfolio, it generally makes sense to use a property management company who has the knowledge, expertise and skills who can efficiently look after your properties and tenants.

If you try to do it yourself, you may save a few £’s, but it usually ends up costing you a LOT of stress and time.

There are three options that you can consider when looking for help with your rental properties:

• Tenant-find, or Let Only, where the letting agent will match you with a tenant, and that’s all.
• Rent collection, where the property management will collect rent on your behalf, and chase late payments
• Full property management, where the property management company will handle everything; from finding tenants, collecting rent, dealing with tenants, organising maintenance and more.

Legal and Admin Costs

These costs include referencing, credit checks, deposit protection scheme registration, energy performance certification, gas safety certification, landlord registration, ICO registration and insurance.

Maintenance Costs

Tenants are responsible for the simple, day-to-day maintenance, however as a landlord or property investor, you are liable for ensuring that the property is in good repair and up to the required standard.

There are also the cost of gas, fire and electrical safety checks every year.

The average cost of maintenance in the UK is around £765 per year.

Tax

Finally, if you generate a profit from your rental property portfolio, you will be liable to pay income tax. How much tax you will pay, and whether you can offset this against other expenses will depend on your specific circumstances.
