This is especially true if you have inherited a freehold portfolio of properties and have little experience or knowledge in this area.

If you own the freehold to several properties you may find it increasingly difficult to balance your 'regular' life with the administration, legal paperwork and communications required as a landlord. There are repairs and maintenance to be organised through contractors, management reports to deliver, plus the calculation of reasonable service charges and their collection.
