Financing
How much will be needed as a deposit?
There’s no fixed amount, but higher deposits usually mean a more competitive mortgage rate. Typically you should have at least 10% of the property’s total value in savings.
What’s the investment potential?
This can depend on a number of factors: the location, size of property, what’s nearby, and whether the area’s undergoing regeneration.
How much should be charged?
Look at the range of rents currently being achieved in the area and adjust your own expectations accordingly.
