Is this make-believe based on full payment, or mortgage?Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostOffski tomorrow to see a Buy to Let property in the West Country. Decided to get back into BTL if the right property comes along and been looking for a while.
This one could be right one. Two bedroom end terrace house, 15 years old, presently rented at £595 per month for £147500. A 4.8% return. Pretty modest.
But this one also has full planning consented, both outline and detailed to build another 2 bedroom, identical house at the end, turning the first one into terraced.
Estimated build costs around £55-£65k. Then planning to rent out both properties after the build.
No point doing things in halves.
Anyone done anything similar and have any advice?
(Plus - is there anything I can use my LTD company for to gain a tax advantage? ie. Get the LTD to finance the build / own)Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Your BTL my arse, that's your primary residence. No wonder you're happy in some poky hole in Munich.Originally posted by scooterscot View PostMy 1-bed in Glasgae rents for more / cost less to purchase, although that was 2003.
1st rule of BTL, never buy in the country.
And it's only BTL temporarily before the Krauts hit their own bad patch and kick you out.
HTH, BIDI.Hard Brexit now!
