I am about to rent out my house after moving in with my partner.
I only have a small mortgage so I can afford to pay it with or without tenants.
I have had all the usual checks for electrics, gas etc and ive spruced it up, decorated, some new carpets.
I just wondered if there were any words of advice that you have for a first timer. I intend to advertise and manage it myself as I cant think there will be any major problems. I wonder do I need landlord insurance or will building insurance be fine? How many references should I ask for? Should I see prospective tenants in their current home to get a sense of what they are like?
Any advice gladly taken, thanks :)
