Some Property Strategies
BTL
Flips
BTL
'Buy to Let' is one of the most common of property strategies due to the nature of buying a property to renting out for a recurring cash flow. Many business and home owners have purchased additional properties for this purpose.
BRR

'Buy refurbish, refinance' is another property strategy and that can be used with more than one party. This can be good for building a property portfolio by refinancing, generating more to invest into other future projects.

'Flips' are also commonly used for buying the property, refurbing and then selling on, making a fair profit. This is great for those who love refurbing projects.
HMO
Flips

'House of multiple occupancy' is becoming more and more popular due to the current house crisis. This is where a house can be split out into private rooms. With this comes regulations and licences to be aware of.

'Service Accommodation' is also another becoming more popular. Especially around places for tourists. This can be short or long term stays where regular housekeeping is required along with other licences. Many of these today are seen on places like Airbnb.

'Rent to Rent', is another used where an agreement with the landlord is put in place with the rent guaranteed over a period of 2-5 years and giving the renter permission to rent out to another. Some do this with HMO's. This is all agreed with the landlord in advance and licences may be required.

'Commercial Conversions' are appearing more and more due to the current house crisis. This is where old office building can be converted into living accommodation and can provide more affordable housing for many.
LAND

'Land' is another where we are seeing more of in the UK. Due to the housing budgets, more houses do need to be built. Many investors come together in order to get these projects on the go but there are still planning permission to be agreed before any building can take place.
Freehold & Leasehold
Freehold
'Freehold' is where the land the property sits on belongs to the property, so if you were to buy a property with freehold, you own the property and land it sits on outright, forever, with no time limits.
Leasehold
'Leasehold' means you own the property for a fixed period (e.g. 99-125 years) and the land is owned by a separate landlord. You would pay the landlord ground rent (if built before 30th June 2022) and service charges for maintenance or the shared areas.
Renter Right Act 2025. What does this mean for Landlords?
The Renter Right Act 2025 - Set to take effect from 1 May 2026
From 1 May 2026, new laws will kick in that give 11 million renters stronger rights, better protections and more security in their homes.
🔑 What’s changing?
- No more ‘no-fault’ evictions – landlords in the private rented sector won’t be able to evict tenants without a valid reason.
- Goodbye to fixed contracts – all tenancies in the private rented sector will roll on from month to month or week to week (depending on your arrangement) with no end date, giving renters more flexibility. Tenants can end them with two months’ notice as well.
- Fairer rent rules – landlords can only raise rent once a year, and renters can challenge unfair hikes.
- No more bidding wars – landlords must stick to no more than the advertised rent price.
- One month’s rent upfront, max – landlords can’t ask for more.
- No discrimination – it’ll be illegal to refuse tenants just because they receive benefits or have kids.
- Pets welcome – renters can now ask to live with a pet and landlords must consider it fairly.
🛠️ What about landlords?
Landlords will still be able to get their property back for clear reasons – like selling up, moving in, or dealing with rent arrears or anti-social behaviour.
The changes aim to strike a fair balance between renters and landlords, making the system more stable, safer and easier to understand.
