    Then try reading this thread, following the links and having a bit of a think! Just because you want them to be a success and therefore validate every other BTL model doesn't make it so.

    Do you also think InsideTRack and Grant Bovey were success stories? :rotfl:

    Come on. They bought most of their properties between 2003-2007.
    as i said it was what was said on this interview, the interviewer doesn't seem to contest it - if it right or wrong i don't know but i don't read HPC.co.uk so don't know the real truth. sorry

    This is money also suggest that they managed to convince BB to allow then to change their fixed rate mortgages from 5% to 2.25%. I sure that only because they are in so much trouble
    could that not be allow larger capital repayments?

    As I have said before, my wife and I own three properties, all mortgage free.
    you really need to get yourself a decent accountant - three properties and paying tax on the rent income from all those three properties... tut tut. that's just throwing money away month after month...

    there are much better ways to be tax efficient and pay less tax

    i do - maybe your ignorance doesn't allow you to see beyond your anti-BTL or anyone who is better off than you. t'is ok.

    if these guys go under - so what. i don't care enough about them. what does amuse me is your responses. they're pretty poor...

    "Financial Mail has learnt that at least one property has been put into receivership by a major lender. The couple also face action from a number of local authorities that are owed council tax on un-let houses. "

    Doesn't sound very good, does it? I mean, if you were worth 100 million plus do you think you could afford to pay your council tax?

    Maybe it's all part of some 'tax efficient' plan :rotfl:

    The really ugly thing about the Wilsons is the amount of help they appear to be getting via re-negotiated deals while struggling families have lost their homes.

    Heving said that, I particularly liked where guid auld Fergus said they were getting every Wilson in Kents council tax demand.

    Pure comedy gold. Well as long as you aren't one of their tenants.
    Retail is the only therapy that works

    Maybe theyve promised Gordon Broon a nice big donation for his election spending.;)

    you either get a 50% exemption of your council tax on empty furnished properties or you get 100% exemption on unfurnished empty property.

    you got to be stupid to have to pay or even owe council tax on an un-let property.

    at least it gets the frothers all excited and trying to speak a foreign language.

    you're not very good at this are you :eek:
