A straight forward book with a lot of detailed but actionable insights. Seems very complete.

[Paul Waring · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good introduction to the topic, nothing particularly special. If you are interested in this subject it's worth noting that the author produces a new edition every few years, which is essential given how frequently the law changes in this area.

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Many tips, checklists and examples. All aspects concerning buy to let covered!

Finished this book fast. Straight forward book with current updates and great for first time landlords or a great refresher for experienced landlords. I found the Tax part very useful.

I've made copious highlights and will be dipping in and out of this one in the future. Pre-dates the latest legal changes but full of useful advice and well written to boot. An easy 4 stars.
