Consultation Before Purchasing Residential Property for Rental Purposes
A consultation is important because it helps clients not only to navigate the rental property market but also to understand whether the rental business is suitable for them.
First, the client fills out a questionnaire. Based on the results, a meeting is scheduled to discuss the client’s needs, property criteria, expected return, and taxation aspects of rental property ownership — whether as a private individual or a legal entity.
Before the consultation meeting, we contact the client by phone to gather initial information. Afterwards, the client completes a detailed questionnaire to determine whether the consultation is necessary.
During the consultation meeting, we clarify the client’s goals and the tasks they want to achieve by purchasing residential property for rent in Tallinn or Harjumaa. We then identify the types of rental properties best suited to the client’s objectives, taking into account financial capacity and sources of financing.
We also discuss suitable locations, building types, and layouts that enjoy steady demand in the rental market. We determine the hypothetical target audience (tenants), discuss what influences a property’s liquidity in the rental market, and explain why it’s important to consider its liquidity also in the sales market.
We explain taxation for rental properties owned by individuals and legal entities, as well as how rental income should be declared. Finally, we outline the main risks associated with renting out residential property and how to mitigate them.
Consultation fee: €225 + VAT.
Payment for consulting services is made before the meeting.
If the client decides to use our property acquisition service for purchasing a rental property, the consultation fee will be deducted from the final price of the property purchase service.
