An estate agent has used lockdown to fulfil her ambition to write and publish a self-help guide for landlords.

Samantha Bateman, owner of Belvoir Portsmouth, mined her 18 years’ experiences in the rental industry to pen ‘Landlords, what’s holding you back?’ in just three months.

In her book, she introduces readers to the Landlord & Investor Success System designed to help them make the most profit and avoid the pitfalls.

Bateman suggests looking at re-mortgaging as a quick way to save hundreds of pounds, while also advising investors that tenants are happy to pay more for a property with gadgets and systems installed; forking out can result in maximum rent and a better chance of turning the property into a profitable investment, she advises.

Dramatic changes

“Over the past 20 years the rental market has changed dramatically,” says Bateman. “For every property that a landlord owns or manages they need to be thinking about how they can maximise the profit on their investment.”

She has included personal experiences, including when a rental property was turned into a drug den, and another which suffered a fire.

“These stories helped me to explain to landlords how to deal with challenges and avoid them in the future,” she adds.

Belvoir CEO Dorian Gonsalves says the title should prove extremely useful for landlords. “It demonstrates Samantha’s unique ability to help landlords achieve fantastic results in what is a fast-changing industry,” says Gonsalves.

“I would encourage anyone who is interested in property to read this book, which is a valuable resource for professional and personal growth.”

‘Landlords, what’s holding you back?’ is available to buy on Amazon.
