Buy to Let FAQs
Does the Buy to Let process differ from other property purchases?
The purchasing process of a buy to let property is very similar to a standard residential purchase. There are however a number of differences for which you will require accurate legal advice. For example, a property may be purchased with a tenant currently living in the property. In these cases it is important that we check the existing tenancy agreement.
Will I pay more stamp duty for my buy to let property?
If the buy to let property you are purchasing results in you owning two or more properties upon completion, you may be liable to pay the higher rates of stamp duty. Chris Stevenson Solicitors will advise you as to your stamp duty liability and reflect this within your final completion statement.
Can the purchaser of a Property be a limited company?
Property can be purchased by a limited company. Chris Stevenson Solicitors are often instructed by director(s) of a company to act on behalf of their company. Please consider our ‘Independent legal advice/personal guarantee’ page for more information as to directors and shareholders requirements when a limited company purchases property.
