In this episode Kevin explains how to avoid properties that have lease restrictions that would prevent you from legally running them as serviced accommodation. He explains how to get your hands on the lease and correctly interpret what it says to determine if the property is actually suitable.   KEY TAKEAWAYS In the UK, over 80% of properties are freehold, which means that they are usually suitable for SA. A lot of lease restrictions are open to interpretation. You need to see and read both the lease and any sub lease for any property you wish to use for SA. In the episode, Kevin explains some of the things to look out for. If you know that the block management company or neighbours are anti-SA it is best to go elsewhere even if the lease states that you can do SA. It is not worth the hassle.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Over 80% of properties in the UK are freehold properties, where there are no restrictions.’ ‘A lot of these restrictions are open to interpretation.’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Discover How to Profit from the Airbnb and Bookings.com Boom The Serviced Accommodation Property Podcast https://propertysoldier.co.uk/ Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T Kiyosaki Serviced Accommodation Success by Kevin Poneskis     ABOUT THE HOST Your host Kevin Poneskis enjoys public speaking, travelling, exercising, and keeping fit.
