Our Professionals

The Mortgage Girls' trusted network of professionals—from solicitors, conveyancers, accountants, property managers, insurance advisers and providers, to building inspectors, builders, and a range of reliable maintenance experts for repairs, upgrades, and everything in between.

A quick tip for deciding which solicitor to work with:

Find someone who you connect with, call or email around in order and ask questions in order to find someone who your feel best suits you and will be able to help you with your home buying goals

It’s handy to know who you wish to work with in advance of making an offer on a home, as you will require your solicitors details including their name, firm and email to be listed on the Sale and Purchase Agreement

Sarah Bee

Relationship Agreements;

When organising a contracting out agreement (relationship agreement), you will both need to see separate lawyers to ensure both parties are well informed and have independent legal advice. This is something that we at The Mortgage Girls highly recommend, as it creates a process to follow if the relationship comes to an end. Not all firms have lawyers who practice family law, so it pays to ask in advance.

Here’s a few which we have worked with regularly, whom could help;

Rental income and expenses
When working out the return on your rental property, consider key income and expense factors. Use the template below to guide you, or click here for the digital calculator.

Rental yield

Rental yield is the % of return on your investment after removing expenses. Work out your rental yield by dividing your annual rental income by your total investment – or use a yield calculator. Your accountant will also be able to help you with these calculations.

Need help arranging insurance?
The Mortgage Girls can assist you with this through Intio, Tower, or one of our trusted insurance advisers. Simply click here to complete the form, and one of our specialists will be in touch to guide you through the next steps.

Insurance
When arranging insurance for your investment you will want to ensure it’s set up correctly, in order to have adequate cover in the event of a loss, including cover for loss of rent and chattels. Let your insurance company know that the property is tenanted so they can discuss the policy options with you.
