Owning Property, legal and beneficial ownership. What's the difference?
Manage episode 301410975 series 2977496
In this episode, our very first episode, we discuss the various ways in which UK property can be owned and the critical interaction with your lenders terms and conditions.
So what are the 5 ways of owning UK property?
- Joint tenancy.
- Tenancy in common
- Freehold
- Leaseshold
- Beneficial interest trusts
We explore the fundamental difference between legal and beneficial ownership, and how this dictates how any income will be taxed.
How easy it is to split the title of a freehold, into distinct separate titles, and the uplift this gives in valuation and the importance for lenders.
We also discuss how important it is to understand, how sometimes what seems like simple tax and legal planning, can actually put you in breach of your lenders T&C if you are not careful.
