What’s better – property or shares?

Like investing in gold, property is a tangible asset and it is never worth nothing. Even if the property market takes a dive, long-term, it always bounces back. At the end of the day, you have bricks and mortar and, at the very least, the value of the land. With an investment property, you have (almost) guaranteed income, an asset you can sell and one you can add value to.

What effect is George Osborne’s Proposed Buy-to-Let taxation change going to have?

It is being proposed that Tax relief for the UK's buy-to-let landlords will be cut from April 2017, meaning landlords will no longer be able to claim tax reliefs on their buy-to-let mortgage payments. Instead, over a four-year period, 25% each year will be reduced on the maximum tax relief ultimately leading to 0% tax relief on interest payments by 2021. In a nutshell, this means a landlord will be taxed on the gross income rather than the net income irrespective of whether a profit is generated. Such action will result in many landlords being financially unable to hold the ownership of those properties and a supply of properties will hit the market.
