Well I’ve had my gas appliances serviced and obtained a landlord’s gas safety certificate as all part of the preparation of my move to Essex. Seems very strange sorting things out to leave Southampton after having been here to long. One thing I have to say renting out your own home is expensive to do with all the checks required prior to actually let it out. I can see why some people only expect to make money on the capital appreciation as I am expecting it’s going to be the best part of £700 to sort things out before I can actually get any tenants in.
