YPN Review: The Landlord’s Friend

If you’re a landlord, you need this book in your life.

The Landlord’s Friend is a summary of what you need to know if you rent out residential property. It covers preparataion, legislation, best practice, warnings – in other words, a whole stack of essential information.

It’s not necessarily a book to read from cover-to-cover, but rather a reference book that you can dip into as needed. That said, if you’re new to letting, then reading the whole of Part 1 is advisable. There are three parts covering preparation, letting and running a portfolio, and the book contains 50 chapters in total.

Authors Paul Shamplina and Kate Faulkner are both well-known names in the property world. Paul is founder of Landlord Action and has probably dealt with more tenancy problems than you and I have had hot dinners.

An excellent and essential book by credible authors.
