Holding London Buy-to-Let in a Limited Company: 2026 Guide
A record wave of UK landlords are buying rental property through limited companies, or SPVs, rather than in their own names. Because Section 24 does not apply to companies, they can still deduct 100% of mortgage interest and pay Corporation Tax of 19%–25% instead of Income Tax. But higher mortgage rates, dividend tax on drawing income, and the stamp duty and Capital Gains Tax cost of moving an existing property in all complicate the sums. This 2026 guide from IREIS Properties explains when the company route pays off for London landlords — and when staying personal is the smarter call.
