The Purchase Process
The core process is similar to a standard residential purchase, but with a commercial focus. We pay special attention to the requirements of your buy-to-let mortgage lender and any existing tenancy agreements, which may require our specialist landlord and tenant advice.
Absolutely. A weak tenancy agreement can be costly. We can draft a robust Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement for you, or review an existing one to ensure it fully protects your rights as a landlord.
This is known as buying a property 'tenanted' or 'in situ'. We conduct thorough due diligence on the existing tenancy agreement, check rent payment history and deposit protection, and ensure a seamless legal handover so you become the landlord on completion.
Financing & Ownership Structures
Buying through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) limited company can offer significant tax advantages, particularly regarding mortgage interest relief. It also separates your personal assets from your property portfolio. We can advise on the conveyancing process for an SPV purchase.
Yes, in most cases. The purchase of an additional residential property is subject to a 3% SDLT surcharge on top of the standard rates. We will calculate the exact amount of tax you owe and manage the payment to HMRC for you.
If you are buying an investment property with a partner, a Declaration of Trust is a vital legal document. It records each person's financial contribution and specifies how the equity (and any rental profit or loss) will be divided, preventing future disputes.
