Limited Companies & Buy To Let
Next year, Precise Mortgages have claimed that nearly 2 out of 5 landlords will use limited companies to buy properties. 89% of mortgage brokers questioned appear to think this trend is set to continue with limited companies still being able to claim tax relief on mortgage interest.
Furthermore, 15% of landlords of looking to ADD to their property portfolio over the next 12 months buying, on average, two new properties a year.
This flies in the face of Government’s desire to halt landlords’ impact on the housing market. Taxing landlords disproportionately as has been seen in recent times has undoubtedly affected the housing market’s growth and in many areas, seen the start of a decline which remains to be seen. However, give the lack of growth in wages, this should be viewed as quite undesirable!
