Great! They stiff you on the way in and now they propose stiffing you on the way out... They’re going to do the same with long term health care funding if you ask me.

I would formalise any new arrangements with either a new tenancy agreement or a codicil to the existing agreement and request your tenant provides a guarantor. This can all be done amicably in the interest of a win-win. I had...

Personal opinion, I wouldn’t do it – unless of course it’s “Throw away money” but we don’t all have that to hand though… I considered doing this when my Daughter went to University and the deal fell through, which in...

Nothing would surprise me... After the introduction of S24 I waited before looking to incorporate. I just felt that this cynical lot would wait for landlords to jump from sole trader to limited company and then tax them again... I...

I got into the business back in 2009 with a plan to buy one property a year until I got up to 10 properties then take stock. Back then I asked my accountant if I should proceed thorough a Limited...

Long post - sorry I didn't have time to make it shorter... On Clause 24, SDLT raise etc - I’ve lobbied my MP about the unfairness of it all as well as presenting the unintended consequences of repossessions and tenant...

I’ve had my accountant onto s162 relief on SDLT. Here's how I understand his advice; 1. You need to identify 'true' partners and connected persons who continue to own an interest in the properties after any transfer takes place. 2....

I don’t mean to be a damp squib on someone who sees property as a way forward (as I did) but given you’re now 55 and taking into account that the government has BTL in the cross hairs; Alice Tax,...

Can someone please clarify: The extra 3% SDLT will also apply to a SPV Limited Company purchasing property for investment ( < 15 properties) - I think it does but there are some mixed messages from previous posts. And what's...

I met with Sir Eric Pickles at his constituency surgery last Friday and I promised Mark I would give feedback through this forum. I approached the meeting on three fronts in what was a swift 10 minute meeting; 1. How...

Reply to the comment left by "Ros ." at "12/10/2015 - 21:55": Ros, As Winston Churchill once said "Never give up!"... However, it's clear that the party line is set. Think about it; There's not going to be a backbench...

Reply to the comment left by "Jason McClean" at "07/10/2015 - 12:36": Jason. Nail on the head. This is exactly what it’s all about. Corporate entrants. The private rented sector has grown on average by 5.4% per year since 1999...

Reply to the comment left by "Jason McClean" at "07/10/2015 - 08:51": Jason, Your portfolio is similar to mine and I’ve gone through the grieving process. I see the new landscape as painful but nevertheless an opportunity.In my opinion this...

Thank you Mark, I’m seeing my M.P. Sir Eric Pickles on the 16th and all the resource you’ve compiled will be really helpful for this meeting - the challenge is getting the message down to a bite size chunk you...

Great reply Mark. A key point in the Governments argument is that they suggest BTL is purely an investment, akin to trading shares. If that is the case, so their argument goes, why should you be given tax relief on...

I’m no expert and I don’t have a crystal ball but I do rely on my intuition and this tells me that maybe 15% - 20% of those with a sufficiently large pension pot will look to invest in a...

Hi Kaps, Perhaps you can consider a 75% LTV BTL mortgage. At £124k deposit you are then looking at ~£500k property (less legals and stamp duty).Just a thought...
