Properly Assumptions:
- House prices increase by 7% a year (which is 4% above inflation)
- We rent the property for 10 months a year for 20 years, starting at £600pm, increasing in line with inflation at 3% per year.
- Costs (repairs, service charge, ground rents, etc) are 25% of the annual rent and increase in line with inflation
- Tax is paid on all rental profits at 20% and capital growth at 18% – this will be much less in reality but we shall keep it consistent for our example
- Interest only mortgages
- 5% interest rate on mortgages

Moneystepper! I liked the opening music and your discussion. But, what I liked more is that I learned so much about leverage.
