Murray Beith Murray Senior Solicitor, Alastair Marshall, writes in The Scotsman today (Monday 2 September). Read the full article below:
Buying a second home as a buy-to-let property has traditionally been seen as a sound investment, and indeed these properties can still provide a good return.
In April 2016 the Scottish Government introduced a Land and Buildings Transaction Tax (LBTT) supplement on the purchase of additional residential properties in Scotland.
From 1 December 2017, the private rented sector in Scotland will undergo a significant change. The provisions of the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016 (“the Act”) will replace the assured tenancy regime with a new residential tenancy known as a Private Residential Tenancy (“PRT”). It will no longer be possible to enter into an Assured Tenancy or, more commonly, a Short Assured Tenancy on or after 1 December 2017.
