The link has more advertisements than "investment advice". I deem this as an advertisement post and has moved it to "Advertise here" section.

In an uncertain world, it seems to be one of the few things you can count on. Across the globe, in the face of (or perhaps because of) great swells of political turbulence, seemingly random acts of terrorism and the vagaries of the financial markets, residential property in prestigious international markets is being snapped up by wealthy individuals from China, Hong Kong, Singapore and the rest of Asia.

If you use a company to buy UK residential property over £0.5 Mil, there is new ATED annual tax to pay :


ATED is an annual tax payable mainly by companies that own UK residential property valued at more than £1 million.

You’ll need to complete an ATED return if your property:

is a dwelling
is in the UK
was valued at more than:
£2 million on 1 April 2012, or at acquisition if later, for returns from 2013 to 2014 onwards
£1 million on 1 April 2012, or at acquisition if later, for returns from 2015 to 2016 onwards
£500,000 on 1 April 2012, or at acquisition if later, for returns from 2016 to 2017 onwards
is owned completely or partly by a:
company
partnership where one of the partners is a company
­collective investment scheme - for example a unit trust or an open ended investment vehicle

A new ATED band will come into effect on 1 April 2016 for properties valued between £500,000 and £1 million. The normal filing and payment date for properties falling into this new band is 30 April 2016.

Real estate is a powerful wealth building tool. There are two primary “wealth generators” at play when you invest in real estate.
Cash Flow - This is the extra income you’ll get to keep each month (or year) that you own the property.
Appreciation - Over time, historically, real estate has always increased.
