Maximising Your Investments: A Personal Approach in the UK Buy-To-Let Market
The Leeds Buy-To-Let Market in 2023
The UK’s property market, in particular the Buy-To-Let sector, has more than shown its resilience over time. Leeds, in particular, remains a promising location for investment due to its thriving economy, expanding infrastructure, and with it leading the way in the Northern Powerhouse: leading to a consistent influx of young professionals seeking residence.
Why Invest Now?
Since the global pandemic, we’ve seen interest rates rise to levels similar to that of post-2008 financial crisis. However, it’s important to remember that interest rates continuously fluctuate and are not fixed at their current levels. Historically speaking, rates always vary and are likely to fall once again to the levels we all once knew and loved; it’s just a matter of time. One thing always worth considering when deliberating over whether a climate like today’s is an appropriate time to invest is: a lower purchase price coupled with a higher interest rate is often a more affordable, cost-effective investment than a scenario with higher purchase prices and a lower interest rate. In fact, the scenario being presented in today’s property market -where implemented with diligent strategy- can yield an excellent ROI (return on investment) over time.
Navigating Section 24: The Limited Company Advantage
One aspect that often concerns prospective investors is the introduction of Section 24, often referred to as the “Tenant Tax”. With private landlords no longer able to offset mortgage payments, many have been left questioning the rationality of being a property investor altogether. However, for the savvy investor able to navigate the implications of Section 24 there is potential to use a limited company in the structuring of their investments. Using a limited company allows for mortgage interest to be considered as an allowable expense, hence reducing taxable gains. This strategy can result in substantial tax savings and a far greater financially viable investment.
