Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

i have just come across what looks to be a highly amusing and non-partisan book entitled Blunders of our Governments ....... should make good reading for several of you lot - and don't pick out just the bits that suit your personal bias!

More than 2 million foreign landlords invest in UK property

Tuesday 17th December 2013
The number of foreign landlords investing in UK property has now passed the two million mark, according to accountancy group UHY Hacker Young.

An analysis of HMRC data by the group shows the number of overseas landlords renting out property in the UK jumped by 6% in the past 12 months to 2.04m from 1.93m in the previous 12 months. In the past five years the number of foreign landlords has risen by 39%, up from 1.46 m in 2006/07.

However, UHY Hacker Young says that the consistent growth in the number of foreign landlords investing in UK property may come to a halt following the Government’s recently announced plans to charge Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on the sale of properties owned by foreign investors from April 2015. UHY Hacker Young warn that this could discourage foreign buyers from investing in the UK.

Mark Giddens, head of private client services at UHY Hacker Young, says: “The UK economy is one of the world’s most liquid, and UK property is seen globally as a safe haven from the effects of a financial crash or from national governments’ interference in the assets of private individuals. That has driven fierce demand for prime property in London and the South East in particular.

“But foreign investment in UK property is not just about the purchase of trophy homes. Increasingly overseas investors are targeting buy-to-let properties, and in particular their investment in new build properties is funding a much needed boost to the supply of quality homes in the rental market.”

UHY Hacker Young points out that over the past five years, the tax taken by HMRC from foreign based landlords who have rental properties in the UK has increased by 64% from £230m in 06/07 to £379m last year.

“While HMRC has already increased its tax take on foreign-owned properties in recent years, the Government’s Autumn Statement is looking to ensure that the Exchequer gets an even greater share of the substantial revenue generated by London’s high end property market,” says Giddens.

UHY Hacker Young adds that the incoming measures are also designed to address concerns that a housing bubble is being created by foreign buyers who regard flats and houses, particularly in London and the South East, as a safe investment.

New Build foreign landlords/investors!!!!!!!!!no evidence in this part of Yorkshire.

Plenty of buy to let but not above.

They make the tax take sound so huge, so it must be a good thing.

2 million foreign owners....that's £189 each, some tax take.

Manuel,

No one would accuse you, or the Hazyone of doing this:

"and don't pick out just the bits that suit your personal bias!"

LOL.

fawlty - i know you are selectively blind, but if you read, you'll rarely find me trumpeting on behalf of the tories, but rather endeavour to take a balanced view - very much unlike yourself

According to sky telly.

unemployment has fallen from 7.6 to 7.4%

Big bunch of fictitious figs here:

http://news.sky.com/story/1184033/unemployment-falls-99000-to-four-year-low

no more fictitious than any others - repetition as to why not would be too tiresome for words ...... the important bit is that the unemployment trend is downwards just as the economy's is upwards

But 1.47 million people were in part-time jobs because they could not find full-time work, the highest total since records began in 1992.

Work previously for one person, now shared between 5.

I wonder what the dodges are behind that little scam.

Manuel,

I think some would think a circle is a straight line.

Suppose some are.

hey ho ..... you guys are just boringly repetitious and of course supremely partisan and blinkered ..... i shall avoid being dragged into your nonsense

Stan

Shut up oldgit, No one cares about what you think or do.

So why take the trouble to reply to my post ? I let you have an hour or so to decide.,

A. Do I reply again

B. Do I not reply

Cyners but its true. Freds post 5 part timers for what used to be 1 is more or less correct.

You cant get away from it.

If things are so good why are

1. Savings at lowest level for 40 years

2. Food banks at record levels

3. loan sharks at highest levels

4. retail sales falling back.

Its their its out in the open and Camoron is coding the electorate on because he knows labour have the upper hand in the polls.

Nice bit of detective work here even if I do say so........

just look at this, my suspicions over the blacklisted poster ontheturn confirmed or as near as dam it....................

while it may be true that there are more of this or that or the other category, then that still means by and large that there are fewer relying on hand-outs

retail sales are interesting, for though high street sales may well be falling, on-line shopping is patently booming ...... you only need to look at the results for ASOS, Next and Ocado

for all that, i would be the last (well not quite!) to say that things are now booming, but assuredly they are improving albeit that certain areas of the economy lag, as indeed they do in both directions

Beware of the poster Master RSI it would appear using multiple alias.
