‘Buy to let’ is where you purchase a property and rent it out to a tenant. This is a popular investment in the UK because it can provide income while also offering the possibility of a future return on your original investment if you choose to sell.
Despite its benefits, a buy-to-let purchase can be more complicated than a standard residential property purchase. You will be subject to higher rates of stamp duty land tax (SDLT) and have responsibilities as a landlord.
Having supported many local landlords with their buy to let purchases, we’re experts at helping our clients navigate the potential challenges associated with buy to let conveyancing.
