Hey Ranjan. Any idea where I can go to to get advice on seeing up a smart company in the right way? Or could I just do this myself? Property 118 is not taking appointments, and big standard accountants don't seem to fill me with much confidence that they know the property domain so well. Any ideas?

I asked myself in Nov 2020 if it was even worth being a landlord/small developer nowadays. I decided to sell my small property portfolio and now no more headaches. Can see rent collection issues on the horizon. Looking back i hated all the aggro and tax regulations, endless paperwork, agents and lawyers fees etc. Whoever makes money in property deserves every single penny they make, because it is not really an easy business or at least not as it once was. Bitcoin a lot easier and more profitable than property in IMO. Great delivery by Ranjan as always.

Thanks for the video. I was under the impression from mortgage brokers that mortgage lenders often won't lend to companies with more than 2 share holders, so does this fall foul of that? Also how do you use this structure if you're setting up a holding company with several limited companies underneath it - would this structure be for the holding company only?

Let me see if I get this right....it seems as the most important class of shares is the class M as it is this class that accumulates all the equity arising from the capital growth associated with the underlying property assets held in the portfolio. If so am I right in saying that in most cases if you want to be the main beneficiary Mr and Mrs X would be listed as the primary beneficiaries? What happens on the wind up or sale of the property portfolio? Does being listed as a beneficiary mean the equity would be distributed based on the trust's documented wishes.?

@kai-uz7qy 3 жыл бұрын

sale of the property doesn't matter. the cash will still be within the business. it's if the business is liquidated, not the assets controlled by/held within the company.

@kai-uz7qy 3 жыл бұрын

in addition, does have to be share class M as a growth share. it also doesn't have to be just one class of share. it also doesn't have to be attributed to a trust. mr x could own class a growth shares and mrs m could own class b freezer shares. it is completely versatile and not a one size fits all thing. have a look/research share structures of other companies and see what you could adapt to fit your needs - and then seek professional advice to adjust and adapt your vision/needs to what is most efficient (tax or otherwise) and then help make that a reality.

@@adielstephenson2929 Yes it is probably a matter of intention. If the plan is to not own more than a couple of properties then the additional cost associated through operating through a limited company as well as more expensive limited company mortgages will in most cases not warrant the incorporation route. If the plan however is to scale up your portfolio over the years then buying in the first instance in your name then transferring at a later date to a limited company can prove quite expensive. If the intention is to own multiple properties then ltd company is probably the way to do. As a small aside, if your income and potential income from buy to let keep your income levels below the higher rate threshold then incorporating will not really bring you much benefit from a financial perspective.

I booked a session with Property118 back in June last year and I was quoted £12k+VAT to set up growth and freezer shares etc after spending £400 for the pleasure! You then have to pay 6% tax by the trust every 10 years. Which if you do this too soon will probably cost the same as the inheritance tax you want to save but you are in fact paying it while you are alive! Not sure that makes sense, kinda "dumb." Ideally property118 would be a lot more transparent on their costs and less billigenrent to how landlords may have already set themselves up.

@Property_118 3 жыл бұрын

@Stephen Duncombe - naturally, I am unable to discuss the specifics of your case in open forum. However, you might recall that all Property118 consultations come with a GUARANTEE of total satisfaction or a full refund. If you wish to activate that, the full £400 consultation fee you paid will be returned to you in full. Furthermore, you have completely misunderstood the 6% ten year anniversary tax charge. Unless the company is liquidated, the value of the taxable assets in the trust is the value of the growth shares. Whilst in theory this could be millions, who would buy these shares until such time as the company is liquidated? What you need to bear in mind is that there are no buyers in the market for a minority shareholding in a private company, especially where the shares have no voting or dividends rights. Therefore, 6% of zero is zero.
