Why Limited Companies Are Taking Over UK Property

66,500 new limited companies were set up in 2025 to hold UK property, up 8% on last year and nearly 340% higher than a decade ago.

In this episode, I break down why more landlords are moving away from personal ownership and into limited company structures, including a simple tax comparison showing how the numbers stack up.

I also cover:

  • Whether buy-to-let is really “dead”
  • The pros and cons of transferring existing properties
  • How to set up a limited company
  • My 5-step checklist for buying property overseas
