London student housing at £659,100: building a complete purchase-cost checklist

[WorthyVale]

It may help to ask the tax adviser for scenario comparisons rather than one recommendation: the proposed buyer and residency facts, plausible alternatives, annual treatment and a future sale. That should expose trade-offs without choosing an ownership structure solely to reduce the amount due at purchase.

Your revised order is the right one: identify the asset and restrictions, establish the buyer’s facts, obtain itemised completion costs, then map annual and exit liabilities. Give each adviser the same written assumptions, including the £659,100 price, so conflicting answers can be traced to a real difference rather than missing information.
