welcome to many matters today I want to
[3]
talk to you about buying property into a
[6]
company
[9]
[Music]
[20]
most people think this is really
[23]
complicated so they don't do it and they
[25]
buy property into their personal name
[28]
now having the house that you live in in
[31]
your personal name that's fine but
[34]
having investment property in your
[36]
personal name isn't really that great so
[39]
the reasons why I like buying into a
[41]
company number one it's very easy and
[43]
simple to do and you open your company
[47]
on Companies House your company is a
[49]
bank account and then when you go and
[51]
offer on a property instead of offering
[53]
and giving your personal details you
[55]
tell them the company's details and then
[57]
you get the finance for the property
[59]
through the company very simple and
[62]
straightforward the second reason why I
[64]
like this is because it cuts out section
[67]
24 so as a landlord if you own property
[70]
in your personal name and you're you
[74]
will get hit by the twin section 24
[76]
taxes if you've got a company it doesn't
[79]
apply to companies so straight away you
[81]
have a saving there now the third reason
[84]
why I like buying property into a
[87]
company is because like most of you I've
[89]
got my own house my car I've got my
[92]
children so I've got we've got my assets
[94]
to protect and my life to protect so
[96]
something happened to my investment
[98]
property I wouldn't want it to affect my
[100]
family home or what I can give to my
[102]
children so if I bought a built property
[105]
in my personal name it would affect if
[107]
something happened you know they might
[109]
come and want my my family home or it
[112]
might affect you know my children and
[113]
what money I've got if I buy it into the
[115]
company
[116]
I'm ring-fencing it in the company so it
[119]
won't impact if something does happen or
[121]
if there's some reason you know I can't
[123]
pay the mortgages for them then
[125]
properties it's really focused in the
[128]
company so it protects me personally so
[131]
I desperately believe that everybody
[133]
should buy property into a company and I
[136]
think it's the most tax efficient and
[137]
simple thing to do and it will save you
[140]
time one of it other reasons is I I've
[144]
got a full-time job I love my
[146]
job I would never give it up and I knew
[148]
property on the side and ready to give
[151]
me more money to live now and also more
[153]
money for the future so I'm a 40% tax
[155]
payer probably a bit more that I don't
[157]
like to look but so buying property into
[161]
a company means my company's making the
[163]
money and means I'm personally not hit
[166]
with that tax I've now got money in my
[168]
company to do with what I want with so
[171]
what I tend to do is buy more properties
[173]
from that money which means again that
[175]
money's not hit by any tax because I can
[177]
just keep it in the company and buy more
[178]
also if I wanted to take money out of
[180]
the company I can take it out with a
[183]
salary dividends I can claim mileage and
[186]
I can do all that for the company which
[187]
I can't do when I've got it personally
[190]
but the main things you need to remember
[192]
and what trick people up is it doesn't
[194]
matter what your company's called you
[196]
can go on Companies House and change at
[198]
any time I know people that stop them
[200]
from opening companies because they
[201]
can't decide where it's cold just open a
[203]
property limited or something buy it in
[207]
the second thing you need to do is you
[209]
need to make sure you've got insurance
[209]
for your company so you want
[211]
professional indemnity insurance and you
[213]
want to speak to a good insurance broker
[215]
who will tell you what you need for your
[217]
company again looking after your company
[219]
and you as director and then the third
[222]
thing you definitely need when you open
[224]
a company is a good bank account I've
[227]
had very bad experiences with some
[229]
business banks who aren't helpful and
[233]
not helpful when you're wanting to do
[234]
things and I tend to go for Metro banks
[237]
these days because I think they're great
[239]
you can get hold of them all the time
[240]
and they give you an account manager or
[242]
even if it's your very first business
[244]
and you've got no money in it you get
[245]
someone that looks after you which I
[246]
think it's phenomenal but check out your
[249]
banks and make sure you get a good bank
[251]
account the main thing it's easy to
[253]
access and easy to take screenshots of
[255]
when you're sending things around the
[258]
other thing that I would recommend is
[260]
you get a really really good accountant
[262]
now for this person they need to have
[265]
the need to have experience in property
[267]
and under
[268]
how it works and all the tax benefits
[270]
and rules that you need to play when
[273]
doing property so I always ask my
[275]
accountant have you got property and
[277]
always ask to speak to one of their
[279]
other clients to make sure they're given
[280]
a good service because the last thing
[281]
you want to do is be chasing your
[283]
accountant so I with my accountant I pay
[286]
my accountant about 100 pounds a month
[288]
for my business they do all my accounts
[290]
and they give me monthly management
[292]
account reports so I can keep up to date
[294]
on how my properties are performing and
[296]
what cash I've got in the business this
[298]
is all very important when you're buying
[300]
property because you want to make sure
[302]
the property is performing like it
[304]
should
[313]
you
