Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about UK property investment strategies, funding, and getting started.
-
Buy-to-Let is widely considered the best starting point for beginner property investors in the UK. It offers a straightforward model: purchase a residential property and rent it to a single tenant or family. With typical yields of 5-8% and strong tenant demand, it provides a reliable income stream while you build experience and equity. Once established, many investors move into higher-yielding strategies like HMO or BRRR.
-
BRRR stands for Buy, Refurbish, Refinance, Rent. You purchase a below-market-value property, add value through refurbishment, refinance at the higher value to release your initial capital, then rent the property for ongoing income. This strategy allows you to recycle your deposit across multiple properties, accelerating portfolio growth significantly compared to traditional buy-to-let.
-
Most UK property investments require a minimum 25% deposit for a buy-to-let mortgage. For a property valued at £150,000, that means approximately £37,500 plus stamp duty, legal fees and refurbishment costs. However, strategies like BRRR allow you to recycle deposits, and bridging finance can help fund purchases before refinancing onto a longer-term mortgage. Speaking to a specialist broker is the best first step.
-
Buying through a limited company (SPV) offers several tax advantages: corporation tax is charged at 25% rather than personal income tax rates up to 45%, full mortgage interest relief is available as a business expense, and profits can be retained in the company for reinvestment rather than being taxed as personal income. Sourced Enterprise can set up your SPV and handle ongoing compliance from £29.99 per month.
-
An HMO (House in Multiple Occupation) is a property rented to three or more tenants from two or more separate households who share facilities like kitchens and bathrooms. HMOs typically generate 2-3x the rental yield of standard buy-to-let properties because each room is let individually. Properties with five or more tenants require a mandatory HMO licence. While management is more hands-on, the significantly higher returns make HMOs one of the most popular strategies for experienced investors.
