Buy to Let purchase – financial advisor says No

Buy to Let purchase – financial advisor says No

I am thinking about buying a refurbished property originally valued at £680,000 for £635,000 and now have a purchase dilemma.

The rental is circa £1850 which provides a decent yield. The thing is the Stamp Duty is £40,000 which is a significant up front investment.

My Financial Adviser is advising against buying more rental property and believes I should invest the deposit money elsewhere.

I believe that in 5 to 10 years the property will be worth £700,000 or more and I will have received the rental income (its a strong rental location).

It is going to take all my spare cash to buy it.

What are the risks?

Many thanks

Nick

As above, not enough info in your article to make a considered answer for you.

As one of Property118's leading recommended financial advisers, we are here to be your sounding board and our business is focused on being client-centric, so that means that - whether you want to hear it or not sometimes - we also say 'no' too.

However, our recommendations (formal, insured and regulated), can only be made based on a proper Fact Find which includes a portfolio, income and credit overview.

Hi to give you better understanding I have a BTL mortgage of £325,000 at 2.14% over five years fixed, the location is Marlow which has its own property bubble, my future value estimates are low based on the current political turmoil, but there could be considerable upside on house prices once the Brexit debacle has passed. I am a high rate tax payer. I estimate a gross return from rent of 2.47% plus equity growth.

Thank you to everyone who has commented, you have hit several nails on the head, especially the point about emotional connection with investments. I am crossing that line with this purchase. Have a call this morning with my Financial adviser.

Put the money in a SIP if you can.

You can’t put residential property in a SIPP.

I think it's the money that is being suggested is pit into a SIPP, not the property.
