Buy To Let Advice and Guidance.
Cooke & Co employ mature professional staff to manage our landlord's properties and have been letting properties in the Thanet area since 1992.
We rent to both working tenants and tenants requiring benefit assistance. Although with tenants on benefits we recommend that the tenant has guarantors in case of default. We only rent self-contained units and will not manage or introduce tenants to homes of multiple occupation.
Cooke & Co are pleased to offer a specialist advice service in relation to buy to let investments. We are experts in relation to all aspects of buying to let as a long or short term investment. This includes information on buy to let mortgages through our recommended financial advisers, advice on types of properties that are ideal for letting in our area and of course the possible rental returns. We also can advise on the Cliftonville West Selective licensing and are members of the Kent Landlord Accreditation Scheme as well as the NAEA, NALS and ARLA.
Thanet continues to be regarded as one of the top locations in the United Kingdom for property investment. Factors contributing to this are
- The presence of the Universities and Academic Institutions including one of the country’s leading catering colleges.
- Excellent accessibility by road, rail only 80 mins to London St Pancras and to Europe by air using Kent International Airport.
- Thanet has a large transient population.
- A shortage of housing in the area

We have also forged good relationships with many of the other local estate agencies enabling us to access the widest choice of desirable properties. During the search, we will obviously only be considering properties that have a good letting potential and will advise you on the likely rent achievable, any need for re-decoration or new fixtures and fittings to increase its rental desirability, and estimate costs involved. Offers will then be made on suitable properties.

arrange and oversee any works required to bring the property to a standard
suitable to rent on the Thanet market.
