Why Buy To Let with Leaders?
Advice on what to let, where, and for how much!
Leaders coined the phrase ‘Buy to Let’ over a decade ago and we are your ideal Buy to Let partner. Leaders are not investment consultants, but as property values and rental yields continue to fluctuate wildly, informed letting advice once you have made the investment decision has never been more important.
We can point to property types in certain areas that would let tomorrow; and yet so many people fall into the trap of buying the kind of property that appeals to them as if they were buying it as a home for themselves, and then visiting us and finding that the market dictates that yields will not cover their mortgage repayments. In every case our opening advice would be to visit your nearest Leaders branch before you buy for a free consultation with no obligation.
Coverage - Leaders many branches means you have access and intelligence covering a wide range of investment opportunities over three regions by dealing with just one letting agent. Leaders specialise in letting property and are not beholden to any insurance or sales monolith, so you can be sure of objective advice.
Experience - We have been successfully letting property for nearly 23 years and have seen virtually every wrinkle in the book! High calibre staff to support your investment - Buy to Let works best as a medium to long term investment and it is important never to underestimate the time it can take to ensure its smooth running. Leaders has amongst the highest percentage of ARLA qualified staff compared with other agents. We pride ourselves on 'going the extra mile'
Significant Investment In IT - Leaders has invested heavily in quality IT which works for you on several fronts: externally we are able to concentrate on keeping your property tenanted via a range of cutting edge communication. Internally, costs and invoices are efficiently managed with the emphasis on making being a landlord as easy and straightforward as possible.
Detailed Regional Advice - Every branch manager knows their 'patch' inside out and can point to areas of high tenant demand and just as importantly, no go areas! We publish a series of local Buy to Let guides that are regularly updated.
Specialist Property Insurances & The Leaders Guarantee - Successful investment is all about offsetting risk. Leaders are of sufficient size to negotiate specialist insurances on your behalf that are specifically designed for tenanted properties. Again, a familiar mistake new landlords make is to assume that their everyday residential insurance is sufficient, when in fact in many instances, many eventualities are simply not covered. The Leaders Guarantee protects your rental income and even legal costs for less than the price of a couple of hours with a solicitor and is excellent value for money.

Top Tips When Buying To Let
• Location, location, location. Its importance cannot be overstated.
• Always visit a letting agent before you buy. Knowing the market is critical when making an investment.
• Never lose sight that you are buying into an investment, not a home.
• Smaller property types will usually bring in a higher % yield than one larger one.

Landlords With Property Investment Portfolios
An increasing percentage of our 7K+ landlords have built up property portfolio ranging from 2-3 flats and houses, through to investment companies with many hundreds of properties. This is a trend we see increasing with the advent of new pension legislation (SIPPS), and REITS become better established. Leaders has the experience and presence to act as your agent whatever the size and range of your investment.
One of the keys to successful letting is reliable tenants and we work hard to maintain a high profile as a quality letting agent to ensure that we maintain strong tenant demand. Our connections with local employers, branch awareness plus extensive advertising and marketing means that all branches often have signed up prospective tenants waiting for property types like yours. Our credit referencing is fair but thorough. Our statistics show Leaders tenants stay longer.
