Hello Calabrian Boy,
Id like to comment on your figures for profit (now deleted).
You said €50k could be invested with 80% LTV Mortgage and with 15% appreciation over two years would give you a property worth €330,625 with a profit of €80,625. (161%)
Basically you are saying put 50k down as a 20% deposit and on completition get a 80% mortgage. This would equate to 330,625 as you said in 2 years at 15% appreciation indeed giving you over €80,000........but thats not profit
First of all the buying costs are 13% - 14% (10% vat + legal, notary etc) This equals over 30,000 on a property of around 250K.
Second of all CGT of 18% - 20% applies in Uk and Ireland so this is a further reduction of profit.
Ok so property 250,000 , appreciates by 15% for 2 years = 330,625
as you said profit = 80,625 but........... minus €30,000 (Buying Costs) minus €16,000 CGT = 34,625 profit
I haven't taken away any sales cost 3%-5% and other cost associated yet.
With selling costs of 3% around €9000 included, this would leave you with a profit of just over €25,000.
There is a big difference between €80,000 as you stated compared to €25,000 which is my figure ?
Hope my figures are right now
