ASK493: Should I sell to avoid a big stamp duty bill? PLUS: Am I made to buy 4 HMOs?

Happy Tuesday! It’s time for Rob & Rob to answer two more great questions from our listeners! 

• (0:49) Toff’s a high-rate taxpayer with a well-performing buy-to-let in his personal name. He’s now looking to buy his own home but faces higher stamp duty that’ll add at least £10,000 to the cost. Weighing up whether to sell the rental and lose a good investment, move it into a limited company, or just accept the extra bill – he asks Rob & Rob if there’s a smarter move he’s missing. 
• (3:42) Jane’s living in Hong Kong and preparing to return to the UK after 15 years as an expat. With £300k to invest, she wants to build a portfolio that provides enough income to work part-time. Her current student HMO has worked well and she’s wondering if she should use the pot to buy four more student houses for cash flow.
