Since the start of the recession, and with redundancies and unemployment only getting worse rather than better, the way that we live our lives is evolving. One significant change is that less people can afford to buy their own homes or keep up mortgage repayments in times of uncertainty, and so are choosing to rent instead, in the knowledge that there will be more support for them should the worst happen. Another major impact has been that more and more people are using the skills and knowledge that they already have to start their own business. A great way of acting on both of these consequences is by setting up a letting agency.

The great thing about becoming a letting agent is that it is so flexible – you can use it as your sole source of income or in addition to another job, there are low start up costs, it is low risk, you don’t need any experience or qualifications, and you can even work from home if you want to, which minimises outgoing costs further.
