Hi all, I'm about to embark on my first rental as a landlord and toying with the idea of managing it myself over using an agent, I figure this way I have more control over the tenant and also can use my own tradesmen who I know will be fair and not charge for stuff that might not have needed doing.
Anyone else on here a private landlord?
What sort of things do I need to consider?
I know I'll need a gas safety certificate, I'm guessing an electricity one too. Landlords insurance. Anything else?
I believe there is a landlord service online that will do credit checks etc.
I have contracts already.
Where is the best place to advertise? I've been recommended gumtree, but to me it doesn't have the best reputation.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
