    Does that mean you could spend 1 month in each house before selling all 3?? :)
  • No, you must nominate one as your home. Do not sell two houses in the same fanancial year (runs April to April) or you can only use your allowance once. You could sell one now and one after April and be OK.

    mortgage interest (not any elements of capital repayment) can be set against rental income to reduce income tax liability. You can lump your total rent against your total interest as they together form your letting "business"; pprovided the same person (s) own the proerties..

    Are you sure about this? I thought each property was a seperate thing and you cant set interest and repairs on one against rent on another?

    Did call the accountant, was a shop (hairdressers, which mother used to run)with flat above. Sold flat and used allowance, sold shop and took advantage of roll over.

    So you bought another commercial/business property then did you?

    Yes. Part of the money to buy my BTL is secured on my residential mortgage!
