To make the most of their rental properties, landlords need reliable investment tools. Financial tracking and budgeting systems help monitor income, expenses, and cash flow, making it easier to evaluate performance and plan for growth. Market research tools offer insights into local rental trends, vacancy rates, and property values, helping landlords make informed decisions about pricing and acquisitions. Legal and tax resources are also essential for staying compliant and maximizing returns.

Growing your property portfolio?
NRLA Mortgages can support portfolio landlords with re-financing their property business. Find out more by viewing the flipbook for more information.
Since 2022, the financial phrase “Swap Rate” has become a popular phrase amongst landlords, homeowners, lenders as well as various media outlets.
When it comes to mortgages, swap rates are what lenders pay to financial institutions to obtain fixed funding for a set period. A lender will then add a margin, to cover their expected profit and running costs, to then launch a product or several products to market. When calculating the product rate, the lender will also take other factors into consideration, including their service levels, expected business levels, risk involved and overall market conditions.
Swap rate movements are often linked to overall economic stability, rather than directly linked to bank base rate changes. The swap rate is the average market view of where interest rates will be, over the duration of the swap period.

8 reasons why you need landlord insurance

UK interest rate changes: How buy-to-let landlords can stay financially resilient

However, the sad truth is that we may never see a return to the 0.25% we enjoyed in 2016. If you have a buy-to-let mortgage and the term is coming to an end you might see an increase to your monthly repayments hundreds of pounds higher than you’re used to. NRLA partner, YourRepair gives us some advice.
