    If you do speak to a broker I'd suggest leading with the Monaco part :)

    There is a bit of a loophole in the changes where if you become a landlord througha limited company with 10 or 15 properties you can still claim back mortgage interest....

    You still can as a basic rate taxpayer.

    Once you've the properties in a Limited Company. You've still got to get the profit and/or capital gain generated out. As was the case recently tax law changes rapidly. Best not to chase loopholes. As the consequences could be expensive.

    I have 720k in cash and I want to buy a few 1 bed flats and rent them out.

    Why leverage with this amount of capital available? How much is a unit going to cost?

    Makes sense to build a small portfolio.

    I could just buy one or two flats with cash I guess but why not leverage?

    If interest rates go up too much and it becomes uncomfortable I could also sell some properties and reduce the amount of exposure.

    Never build a castle on sand foundations that can easily be washed away.
