Thanks for reply Conrad. Really appreciate the help. The answers that I have to some of your questions are; Purchase Price £79k, Currently let at £465/month.

Hi all, We are currently looking at a deal with an estate agent where the property is currently rented out on a company let. The company are keen to extend the AST for another 12 months. It is currently occupied by three unrelated people, each with their own room, with a shared kitchen and bathroom. It’s my understanding that the property does not require a HMO licence as there are less than 5 occupiers. My questions are (I’m sure I’ll think of more); do we need to consider anything specific for a company let? What should we do differently than a vanilla BTL? Are there
