5 points for landlords to consider
The buy to let market has been under some pressure recently but what impact will the change in CGT make? Take a look at 5 important changes that are now affecting the market.
- Rise in CGT to 28% for higher rate tax payers;
- Landlords need to ensure that they have the right insurance cover. A simple household insurance policy isn’t sufficient;
- There still seems to be a desire by property owners to expand their portfolios but availability of finance is restricting their ability to invest;
- Average rental value continues to increase year on year and coupled with sustained capital value increases, overall yield is on the up;
- Housing Minister Grant Sharps scraps plans to introduce new regulations for landlords and letting agents.
So, a mixed bag here. While contemplating your next market move, perhaps take a few minutes to check you have the right landlord insurance cover in place.
