Inheritance Tax Planning in uncertain times Dec 2010

Editor's Notes

  1. Since the investment has been made, 4 of the apartments have subsequently been sold and 5 are tenanted on a ‘rent-to-buy’ basis (24months) which gives an option of placing the rent as deposit to buy. The sales & r-t-b gives a clear exit route for the funds. The market for selling property id very tough in Armley, and the sale prices of £100,000 are now considered too high by agents and so the prices are to be reduced to sell the remaining three flats. The IHT fund capital is still well covered.
