Mr. Brendan Allen:

From an accounting point of view, landlords are looking at about an hour or half an hour per month recording all the necessary stuff, including invoices, income coming in and bank reconciliations. Then, at the end of the year, they will spend three or four hours meeting with their accountant, getting their tax returns in and making sure they go through on time. There is a quite a quantum of time involved just on that side of it, before dealing with what Ms Conway and others have outlined.
