Property investment tips and advice

This week we’re celebrating the launch of our new podcast – The Property Investment Tips Podcast. So we’re sharing some of the favourite pieces of advice on The Property Hub.

The new podcast launches tomorrow! Every Friday morning it will be an opportunity to learn an important new property idea in under 15 minutes. We’re unlocking the wealth of great information on The Property Hub’s Blog by making it available in audio form. That way you can listen wherever you are and whatever you’re doing.

Tune in to find out what tips we’re sharing.

This week’s resource comes from Simon Allen, who pointed us towards noddle.co.uk. A site which gives you access to your full credit report for free. Normally you need to pay £2 for a statutory one-off report or sign up to a monthly package, so getting such easy access for free is a huge win.

It’s easy to sign up, and you can log in to look at your details and print a report any time. Every month it’s updated with the latest information from banks and lenders.

Breaking news this week, Scotland are staying as part of the UK! A collective sigh of relief from everyone with property investments north of the border, we’re sure.

But our main news story this week is the news that the Treasury has announced plans to implement laws that will regulate some forms of buy-to-let lending, as reported by The Telegraph. In an effort to come into line with EU regulations, the moves would see BTL loans for “accidental” landlords treated in the same way as residential mortgages. That would mean affordability tests, among other things.

This may still not come into law, but we’ll be keeping an eye on how things progress.
