Residential buy-to-let is losing its appeal.
According to ‘The National Residential Landlords Association’ navigating the buy-to-let world is harder than before with…
- Tougher tax rules resulting in uncommercial after-tax returns
- The prospect of additional costs to go green
- Tighter restrictions on evicting tenants.
All of these factors can absorb extra time from you as a landlord and lead to months without income.
If the administrative hassle of managing your buy to let is taking its toll and you decide to sell up the capital gains realised on the sale of the residential property needsto be reported to HMRC and Capital Gains Tax paid within 60 days of completion.
If you have spent significant amounts of cash renovating your investment property or before renting it out you previously lived in the property as your homethe calculation of the taxable gain can get very complicated.
