How many BTL properties do you have?

I bet the old board was so much better. Far more high brow than today.

Whenever I worked anywhere more than once or for extended periods I've tended to buy a house local, turn it into flats and let all but one flat out. Usually keeping the loft for my own use, as fire precautions for lofts tend to be a pain, so why bother.

So you always live in a small pokey flat and are surrounded by tenants. Not the style I would have expected from you Threaded.

Hæ Hæ, not always, and I think they're quite nice. It's not like I've converted 2up2downs, they're usually quite substantial...

If you can get a place with at least 2 staircases you can save yourself an awful lot of grief with the fire precautions.

Fire precautions are not very high on my list of priorities when purchasing a house.

If you convert a property to be a HIMO then you have to do fire-precautions. If the place has only one staircase then they'll have you install a fire-escape. Extra costs like this all start to add up, and they rarely add to the value of the property, and 'cause I like to go for older buildings it makes them look ugly too.
