With the Labour Party's landslide victory, property and mortgage experts are now evaluating the potential impacts.

Some experts have highlighted affordability as a critical issue and emphasised the importance of addressing systemic issues in housing and planning, as well as supporting first-time buyers.

Others stress the importance of Labour's housebuilding pledges and the need for effective implementation, but they are also predicting a reduction in market uncertainty and a return to stability.

Overall, there is cautious optimism that the new government will bring much-needed reforms and stability to the property market.

A joint mortgage is a mortgage that allows up to three people to buy a property together, often used by two borrowers in a relationship.

It allows for the combination of money, increased deposit, and split monthly mortgage repayment costs, creating ease throughout the mortgage.

Joint mortgages can bring benefits such as borrowing more money from the lender as household income increases, displaying a more responsible and trustworthy persona to the lender, decreasing monthly repayment costs and increasing overall equity in the property.

As a landlord, it’s always important to protect your property. You can achieve this by taking certain precautions before granting tenants access to any of your properties.

What is an inventory?
A property inventory is a detailed report that identifies the condition and cleanliness of each room and its utilities within the property.

Why do we complete an inventory?
An inventory is an important step to letting out a property, as it gives the tenant and landlord extra security when discussing the return of the deposit.

When do we perform an inventory?
An inventory should be performed at the beginning of a tenancy with a check-in report and at the end of a tenancy with a check-out report.
