Discuss my propertyTax changes affecting landlords
The reduction of mortgage interest tax relief, the additional stamp duty surcharge, and potential capital gains tax changes have all reduced the profitability of buy-to-let. For many landlords, selling makes financial sense.
Selling with tenants in place
Some investors consider tenanted properties, subject to tenancy terms, condition and returns. Selling with tenants does not remove their rights. Check the applicable rules and secure advice before seeking possession.
Capital gains tax considerations
Selling a buy-to-let property will typically trigger a capital gains tax liability on any increase in value since purchase. The amount depends on your tax band and any available reliefs. Professional tax advice is recommended before proceeding.
