Mortgage Advice...

Yes, I rent out.
Just look out for the Capital Gains tax which will probably go as high as double from 22nd June.
Maybe talk to an accountant....you could put one of the properties in another name.
Use a good agent...who will normally take 1 months rent to find tenants and look after things for you.
If you are in the East London area I can give you details of mine.

Thanks mate, good tips - it's in Manchester so i'll do some digging here.

I complete on Friday.

A highly painful process. Turns out I couldn't really get a viable mortgage by myself so got the folks to lend some extra dollar for deposit to help me out and it's still pretty hefty. Painful for the short term maybe but hopefully should be worth it in ten years.
