Let 2 Let is a fairly new concept whereby one property is let then sublet to the occupant.

• What is the point?  You mean what is the profit!
• In a depressed market there is every point if the owner has neither the means nor wherewithal to let his house.
• Lets say an individual buys a house consuming every penny in the process.  The result is a building as opposed to a house which no one wants to let.  
• Enter the entrepreneur who sees the opportunity to cash in.   
• Realising the owner’s predicament the first tenant offers to let the house on condition they are permitted to sublet. The desperate owner agrees and breathes a sigh of relief.
• The first tenant sets about renovating the house at his own expense before letting to the ultimate subtenant for a rent commensurate with the renovation.
• Is it risky? Yes!  The owner can serve a notice to quit upon termination of the tenancy.
• Is it a good idea? – Yes, if you can recover your renovation costs during the term available - as agreed by the owner and first tenant to reflect the involvement.
