I purchased in London 2 decades ago so the outlook seems ok to me. My combined tenants (4)income of £110k+ could not purchase the house even with £200k deposit. My point: as rental stock is reduced, these types of tenants will need to move outside the m25 and commute longer to get to work.

Here’s the dilemma… If you sell up, that’s 24% capital gains tax. How long before you recoup that elsewhere?

Average is wrong. London is too big to average. East is vastly different to West. On this side of road it's 300k average, on the other side 1 million. That's london.

In London they have room size accommodation thing which I wasn't aware off. In one std 3bed london property I am only allow to keep 2 adults and one child under 10.

[frankincense]

London's high value properties (>£1m) are included in your analysis which significantly skews your conclusions.

[kofsphere]

But most of reasons also applies to the whole country, not only London, is it?

What’a a typical buy to let property in London? There are plenty 2/3 bed apartments/ houses around 500k in zones 4/5/6.

[kennethausten]

All our family have sold up in london for the home counties as now to costly.

[jmmm]

I’m an accidental landlord who used to live in the property. While most of the value increased while I lived there, the market is stagnant. This means that every year, I lose more in capital gains liability. 😢

Difficult to divest with many constraints e.g. cladding concern

[BH-]

Successive governments have targeted buy to let landlords, when many landlords get out of the market, there will be chaos and another government will bring in incentives.

Things change and people with properties to let out have to review their position constantly and decide what to do.

[Chris-shkr]

Its too late to complete before the October budget anyway?

[susanprentice]

Have 3 buy to let stick to one bed flat with £100, 000 mortgage.

[coolco]

That's why my heart sunk on the say Labour government got in 😢

[kashif]

Couple of things: Dagenham £285k rental £2.2k SDLT: 12-15k

What’s the issue

Leyton: £550k rental: £3.1k
Can’t remember SDLT

Walthamabbey: £385k rental £2k SDLT can’t remember

Stratford: £800k rental £4.7k SDLT can’t remember

Canary wharf: £800k rental £3k SDLT: £70k roughly

Can you see the problem which I am facing: don’t go to Canary Wharf!

[alantsang]

Buy in Holyhead, where property price is very low so the yield is rocket high!!! And there is no 3% surcharge and there are plenty choices (because virtually no buyers).
So buy to let at Holyhead then

[NisaShah]

[AmeyBrunel]

Just in London?

What about other parts of the country? Should I keep out of BTL or try my luck?
