    Can you confirm your name is on the deeds as co-owner??

    Was the loan taken out BEFORE 1st tenant moved in?? (If not I don't think you can claim interest paid as business expense...)

    Can you prove you told lender you only wanted loan for property letting??

    What did you use the £££ for (round-the-world-cruise, 3 weeks of s*x-'n-dr*gs-'n-r*ck'n-r*ll, new car, pay off loan sharks...)

    Why wasn;t it a "normal" buy2let mortgage??

    Your question should be "may I.." not "can I...".. as clearly you "CAN" fill in property pages of SA with anything you like (eg cost or 3 weeks of s*x....) but the question is, would it pass a HMRC inspection....

    Cheers!
