ASK511: Am I wrong to be scared? PLUS: Can this trick cut my tax bill?

Listen Later

It's Tuesday, which means it's time for another Ask Rob & Rob!  

  • (0:45) AJ purchased his first two buy-to-lets using bridging finance and is now remortgaging onto longer-term deals. As part of the process, his lender required him to take independent legal advice – something he found surprisingly intimidating. He asks Rob & Rob whether it’s normal for these meetings to feel so daunting, or if it’s just him. 
  • (05:34) John bought a property for £60K, which is now worth £120K, with no mortgage attached. He wants to move it into a limited company to be more tax efficient. His estate agent suggested he sell it to himself at the original price to avoid capital gains, but his accountant has warned that HMRC may see this as tax avoidance. He asks Rob & Rob whether this strategy stacks up – or if it’s a red flag waiting to happen.
