    Amused and slightly bewildered by this thread.

    OP, you keep referring to wanting advice from investors. This implies you want investment advice. HTB/SDLT related incentives are designed to help people whose primary reason for buying a property is to have a more permanent and secure home to live in, not people looking for an investment.

    A home should be looked at as an investment (regardless if it is your primary residence) - probably for most people their biggest asset, or one of largest. However, ignoring that, it is in the context of investment advice as it clashes with a specific investment property. Hence, other investors coming across the same scenario or similar.

    However, they have spoken to several investment consultants and have their answer now.
