How many rental properties do UK landlords typically own?

1 2 3 4 or more How UK landlord portfolios stack up

Source: Buy-to-let YouGov Survey Report in association with Aldermore Unweighted base: All UK landlords (1006)

Over three quarters of landlords (76%) expect to have the same number of rental properties in 2017. 45% of UK landlords have previously lived in at least one of their buy-to-let properties. Only 4% of landlords currently hold their properties in a limited company.

Recent and upcoming changes in buy-to-let

  • 3% Stamp Duty Land Tax premium now payable on the

purchase of second homes above £40,000, this change also applies to Land and Building Transaction Tax (LBTT) in Scotland.

  • From April 2017, tax relief on mortgage interest will be gradually reduced

and will replaced with a tax relief allowance that will partly offset the tax calculated on rental income.

  • Currently, when landlords pay tax on their rental profits, they can generally deduct the

cost of mortgage interest as part of their finance costs before arriving at profit.

Remember: it’s important for your clients to get advice on their portfolio plans from a qualified tax expert

Tax changes example – how portfolio plans could shift

Meet Ron and Debbie, a pair

  • f experienced

landlords.

  • They purchased their first buy-to-let property in 1998.
  • Now, 18 years later, the couple have 16 properties between them, all in London and in their

personal names.

  • They want to continue buying properties and refurbishing them.
  • They’ve talked to a qualified tax adviser and their accountant about what the buy-to-let tax

changes mean for them and are now considering restructuring their portfolio.

  • They may set up a limited company and gradually phase the transfer of their existing properties to

manage the Capital Gains Tax impact and re-establish their return on equity.

Should we set up a limited company?

“We want to purchase up to 10 properties in the next 12-18months”

Other income

  • Approx. £120k

each Approx. rental income £350k Portfolio geared at around 58% Combined portfolio value of

  • ver £5m

More change? The PRA’s consultation proposals

The proposals largely focus on underwriting standards, not on curtailing growth in the buy-to-let market. The Prudential Regulation Authority’s main proposals include:

  • Affordability testing
  • Interest rate affordability stress test
  • ‘Portfolio landlords’ should follow a “specialist” underwriting process

‘Portfolio landlords’ are described by the PRA as borrowers with four or more properties are deemed to be “landlords” (and not just investors). Investec’s view: “The UK has a housing crisis. BTL is part of the solution, not the problem!”

slide-15
SLIDE 15
  • Aldermore continues to challenge the established view of what banking should be.
  • We’re a specialist lender and we support UK small businesses, homeowners and landlords.
  • Our expert underwriters are able to make considered decisions rather than adopting a “computer

says yes or no” approach.

  • We provide financing to customers who are often under or poorly served by the wider market.
