There are many reasons why an owner of residential property may want to let it. They may want to downsize to a smaller property in a different part of the country and keep the house in their family; a property owner may live near a popular holiday destination and would like to take advantage of the high season holiday accommodation demand or short term let; or an investor may want to purchase buy to let property to make a profit.

With the increase in the price of property in the UK, it has become less affordable for people to buy their own homes. This means that more often than not individuals will have to rent residential property rather than to purchase one, there are many reasons for this decision.
