Buy to let options

1. Buy the property and use the mandate to let the property out (there is rarely personal occupation available as they are let out as residential lets, however holiday homes in seasonal areas may offer occupation). There is no need for the owner to furnish the property.

2. Buy the property, furnish it and ask a local agency to let it out as a seasonal let. This allows the owner to earn an income and also go on holiday there when they wish. There are no rental guarantees for this option; however the rental yield may be greater than approximated by the first option if renting at key peak times.

3. Buy the property and live in it as you wish, but not have a rental yield. However if you buy an off plan 'buy-to-Let' property, this is often cheaper than buying a single property sold on the private market
