Rob & Rob are back again this week to answer two more of your burning questions.
The first caller this week is Sam who is stuck in limbo. She’s in a bit of a situation that you might not often find yourself in, but that doesn’t mean you might not be in Sam’s position at some point in the future.
Sam is using a certain solicitor, however the lender that she’s using for her mortgage isn’t on the same panel. So, in order to get the rate that she wants with this lender, she’ll end up paying extra legal fees.
She’s not 100% sure on how this works and if there’s a way to factor this into your costs or not.
So what advice can Rob & Rob offer to Sam?
Our second question this week comes in from Marcus from London. Marcus has a buy-to-let property in his personal name which he is about to move over into a Limited Company.
He’s wanting to understand the tax implications around this.
Essentially, once he’s moved the first property into a Limited Company, when he buys a second property in his personal name, will he still be seen as owning the first property and therefore end up paying double the stamp duty costs?
It’s a very clever tactic, but is it clever enough to avoid the stamp duty costs?
Tune in to find out.
