Landlords have been issued some advice regarding property management practices in a tough economy.

Over the last 12 months, as the global financial crisis has taken hold, house prices have dropped and the lettings market has expanded.

According to financial website MoneyWise, abiding by the rules and looking after tenants are key elements of being a successful landlord in the current climate.

Those who own property should ensure they are up to date with all regulations and also keep communication channels open with the people renting out their rooms, the portal states.

Other important issues to bear in mind include finding the right mortgage. For example, landlords must be prepared for when their current buy-to-let deals come to an end because the market is likely to have changed since they first organised the loan.

MoneyWise also indicates that insurance is vital for people who are going to rent out bricks and mortar, while landlords should apparently not be scared to seek advice when it is needed.
