❓ How often should landlords inspect a property?

A routine property inspection is typically recommended every 3–6 months. Regular inspections help ensure the property is being well maintained, identify any maintenance issues early, and provide an opportunity to address concerns before they become bigger problems.

Inspections should always be arranged in advance with the tenant and carried out respectfully, in line with the tenancy agreement and legal requirements.

❓ How much deposit do buyers usually need?

For many buyers, saving for a deposit is one of the biggest steps towards purchasing a home.

In the UK, many mortgage lenders require at least a 5–10% deposit, although larger deposits can sometimes provide access to better mortgage rates. The amount needed will depend on the property price, lender criteria, and individual circumstances.

It’s also important for buyers to budget for additional costs such as legal fees, surveys, moving expenses, and stamp duty where applicable.

Planning ahead and understanding the full costs involved can help make the buying journey feel far more manageable.
