You have portfolio of properties.
What’s your take on interest only vs repayment BTL mortgages ?
There’s good supply of properties in the area I’m watching at the moment (with none for sale 6 months ago). They didn’t seem to sell during stamp duty holidays. At the same time I don’t want to miss the boat when it will turn out the sun still comes after Brexit and it’s not as bad as everyone thought . So right now observing and weighting my options, collecting opinions, doing market research etc
Repayment vs interest depends on the gearing you want and the amount of interest you want to pay
Of you buying a btl now you should be getting 7% plus otherwise not worth the stressComment

Do you know why you are buying. Do you just have money to park somewhere or are you trying to hedge against inflation or something else?
I’m looking to buy in London but I know what I want. A freehold flat with lease due for renewal and a very good yield without the lease extension premiumComment

Mind you mortgaging a freehold flat is not easy but you can grant yourself a lease and keep the freehold. Done it a few timesComment
