Landlords In Nairn

Do you own a second property — or are thinking of buying one?

You could earn a considerable income by becoming a long-term let landlord with e2w.

There is high demand for housing in the private rented sector in Nairn, Forres, Inverness and Elgin, but many properties are taken off the market as holiday lets. However, with the increase in paperwork and legal requirements for short-term lets, many landlords are turning to long-term leasing as a viable source of hassle-free income.

Benefits of Becoming a Long-term Landlord

Stable Passive Income

With a long-term tenant, you can expect a steady stream of rental income each month. This can be helpful for budgeting and financial planning, especially if you are using the rent to pay a buy to let mortgage. Holiday lets can have periods of high occupancy and low occupancy, making income less consistent.

Lower Costs

Advertisement and marketing costs for long-term lets are typically lower compared to continually promoting a holiday rental. You only need to seek out tenants every few years, rather than every few days.

Less Management

Long-term tenants take care of the property themselves, reducing the need for frequent cleaning, guest communication and changeovers. With holiday lets you will be responsible for guest communication, ensuring the property is ready between stays, and potentially managing cleaning services.

Simpler Legality

Since 2022, short-term let owners have faced a significant increase in paperwork and legal hoops to jump through. Long-term lets come with simpler terms — plus we can take care of them for you.

Reduced Wear And Tear

Long-term tenants are more likely to treat the property as their home, taking better care of it compared to short-term tenants. This can reduce wear and tear and save you money on repairs in the long run.
